Cobra getting better **UPDATED May 13, 2003**
After owning a Cobra 9850 and now upgrading to the 9860 I've noticed a big improvement in sensitivity on the 9860.

Good product for the money invested
The Cobra 9860 radar detector may not be the best radar detector on the market, but it is valuable nonetheless. If it protects you from getting pulled over once it is worth the $100.00 that you pay for it. This is a beautiful looking detector, and I love the voice alert feature, the tones alone get...
