The spec and everything was fine, but the unit i got when you first power up the RA it should take up to an hour to Calibrate/locate the satellites or something like that, once it's has done that it shouldn't need to do it again.....not mine every time once it even took best part of 2 hours.

A few other things I think they need to work on, there is no dimmer for the display so at night the inside of the car ends up looking like a boy racer's corsa with neon under lights

The RA 2 unit it self is quiet big as well in Comparison to the snooper, I intended to use mine on the bike as well so the shape of the RA2 didn't fit the bike at all.

When the alarm goes off to warn you it carry’s on beeping at the set volume till the danger has passed, this can get quiet annoying at times. The snooper you can set so after about 5 seconds or so it drops down to a lower volume the goes completely off when the danger has passed

As with the road angel you can still programme in your own black spots & regular plod sites.

Just my opinion/experience not to say the RA 2 is a bad piece of kit, it still does the job (when it came on) just the snooper suited my needs better and had a few features that the RA 2 could do with.
