| | | | The RMR-D240 is a completely integrated radar/laser detector which responds not only to all the radar guns in use today, including Stalker, but also to the other latest development in speed monitoring devices- the laser gun.
This model provides distinct visual and audible alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K, and all kinds of Ka Band radar guns in the front and
rear of you. This model also provides the benefit of undetectability by alerting you to the presence of VG-2 (The Radar Detector detector).
It also incorporates a new safety feature - Safety Alert(SA) and Safety Warning System(SWS). This safety feature warns you of the presence of
potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety radar transmitting devices.
Federal and Local Regulations:
The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all citizens the right to receive all types of radio transmissions. The same radio
frequencies used by police radar are also used by other devices, such as automatic door openers, burglar alarms, and some amateur radio
equipment. Since the RMR-D240 is just a radio receiver tuned to a specific portion of the public radio spectrum, it is protected under this act.
Some local, state, and federal regulations may prohibit the use of this detection device. Please check with authorities regarding the use of this device before operating it.

5 of 5 Cheap and Trustworthy Tuesday, October 07, 2008 A Customer from Little Rock, AR
I don't understand people expect Radar detectors to be perfect. They are designed to be like a third eye and to catch things that you miss. This one is so reliable, it saved my wallet more than 5 times. It detected signals not only from the sides only but from behind also in short distance and saved me from tickets.

1 of 5 Do not trust this or you will end up with a ticket Friday, March 21, 2008 Ramakrishna Koralla from Odenton MD
This product boasts of several features but none of them work effeciently. The city mode does not get rid of all the false alarms and it starts beeping whenever I pass close to some stores with automatic doors. The most important thing is that it failed to give advanced warning when a cop is waiting out there with his radar gun. I had two very close encounters (Luckily I was not way over the speed limit). At one instance the cop was on top of the hill and it did not beep until I was within 100 feet of the cop. In another instance, at the curve where I saw the cop first and after that it started beeping.
On the whole, I would not believe this device anymore and would not take any risk depending on it. I would strongly suggest not to go with this one. Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 Cheap Means Cheap! Wednesday, February 06, 2008 Mags from Englewood, CO
You get what you pay for with this product. It's very cheaply and poorly made. The cord was ill-fitting and would n't stay properly connected. The whole thing stopped working alltogether after about 2 weeks. Save your money! The more expensive brands are worth the extra initial cost. I personally love and recommend Uniden or Cobra.

1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 2 of 5 Not worth the cash! Thursday, January 31, 2008 A Customer from Athens, OH
I bought this to use on the highways, but it didn't work very well. It missed four cops in one trip and one was even the car right behind me. I definately would not recommend this to anyone. I'm probably just going to toss the one i have. Was this review helpful?
0 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 good to go fast Thursday, January 24, 2008 bhavu_2001in from shrewsbury, ma
I bought this radar detector after reading many good reviews about this radar detector. This works really good. This radar detector just save me one speeding ticket few days before.

1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 Great value and works well. Monday, January 21, 2008 A Customer from TN
I have an older Bel STi radar detector, and I wanted to replace it because it didn't seem to pick up radar that well. I had read the reviews on this detector, and decided I would try it out since it was so cheap and had good reviews.
After using it a couple of weeks, I know this one picks up better, and am using it as my current radar detector. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but nothing beats the price/performace of this one. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great little unit Friday, January 18, 2008 Bob from Mason, Michigan
For the price, you can't go wrong! This unit is small and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I picked up the State Police Ka band about 1 mile away and tracked it until we crossed paths on the hiway. The windshield mount works very well, the unit stays put. Buy.com was very quick to ship. Overall I am very satisfied. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 you get what you pay for Thursday, January 10, 2008 Ria from Hamlet, NC
It is exactly as I have stated above. If you are a normal driver who speeds now and then - then this is a fine unit. But, if you are a speed demon, you better put out a lot more money for a better unit. But, as I said for the normal person it is GREAT! Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Fantastic detector Sunday, December 09, 2007 Danny from Plano, Texas
It works flawlessly right out of box. Though it cannot detect cop a mile away, you have sufficient time to slow down your speed before visualling the cop. As a beginner with budget oriented, it is the best choice in the market. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 More than a machine! Wednesday, December 05, 2007 A Customer from University Place Washington
it's been couples of weeks that i'm using this unit. I never had a false alarm, its so accurate.
I recommend this to everyone who wanna buy this kind of stuff. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Basic radar for basic needs Thursday, November 29, 2007 Rich P. from Walnut Creek, CA
My current radar was acting up so I wanted a replacement. I didn't want to spend a lot of $$$ so when I found a great deal on buy.com for this one I jumped on it. There are not a lot of bells and whistles just an audible and visual alarm when radar is detected. The only options are city/highway, mute and several dimmers.
One feature I missed from my old one is the audible alarm would tell me the type of radar so I didnt have to look over at it. This radar only has a specific sound for each which is ok. Also my other had a auto sound muting when the signal was constant it would turn the volume down automatically. The receiver seems to pick up a signal very well. I've driven past a couple speed traps and it's given me the proper warning. One of the radar bands I have not heard yet is the VG2 band. The cord that connects to the power is not very long but after a few weeks it stretched out. Good suction to windshield. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 !!!!!!!!!!!! Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Michael from TN
AMAZING PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE!!!! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Product, Great value Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Ari from Boston , MA
I ordered this Radar/Laser Detector , from Buy.com and got it basically next day , even though it was (free) 5-6Business day shipping.
I bought this Radar/Laser Detector to upgrade the PHANTHOM - version 1, that I have had since 1999, which worked flawlessly and did more than what the product claimed. I never used their TICKER REFUND policy , even though i was stopped 3 times by STATE and lots local Traffic RADAR operating late at nights. ALL of them wondered why their meter read 000 or DASHES.
I am very very impressed with this and ALL THIS COMPANY;s Products. Cannot speak highly enough about the QUALITY and PRODUCT PERFORMANCE.
*** remember speed kills , and drive responsibly, and any Radar/Laser Detector , will not save your life** >> please please drive carefully and within your limits.
I am an EX WORLD RALLYE AUDI team drive , so often get trageted by police** Was this review helpful?
2 of 5 Does not detect all signals as mentioned in tech. Wednesday, November 28, 2007 A Customer from Belmont, CA
I took this product after reading the tech. specs.But not all signals are detected. It only detects Radar Guns. Thats it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice for the price! Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Mo from Dallas TX
It works well and gives ample time to "adjust". Well worth the price. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 good device Wednesday, November 28, 2007 A Customer from Dover, NJ
Haven't tried any other radar/laser detector before, but this looks good to me. Very sensitive to door openers and other "distractors" in urban areas, which could be compensated with CITY mode. The attachment onto the windshield is unstable and the cord is relatively short. Price very reasonable. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good byu! Wednesday, November 28, 2007 alexvid from Morganville, NJ
I'm using Radar detectors for long time. Pretty good product for this price. Easy to use, compact, looks nice. Definitely would recommend. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Works just like its Big Brother Wednesday, November 28, 2007 A Customer from Patrick, SC
I had a larger Rocky Mountain Radar Detector that was great. This unit works the same way, but is much smaller and is silver color to almost disappear on your windshield. It gives about 1/2 mile or more warning, unless there is a good sized hill between you and the police radar unit. Your warning comes just as you approach the top of the hill. Bought this unit for my wife and liked it so much, I bought one for myself. The old unit went to a relative and now I only use this sm |
