| I just bought (this week) the Snooper S4 Neo with the SLD100 Radar/laser detector plug in - makes it a S4R. Fits easily in the car! not tried it on the bike yet - the suction cups are fairly strong and there is a velcro fastening, but also not sure i'd want a £329 piece of kit bumping round on the bike even though there is an ear piece socket - you would have to use the hard wire option on the bike - except if you have a gold wing with the cigarette lighter! (i take mine out every time I leave the car in case it gets nicked).
It has detected all the gatsos i've been near and it also warns of schools. I checked a whole load of sites before deciding on the S4R. I would have liked the Ori gin B2 ideally but it was a tad more expensive, but you get a real time GPS calculated speedo and an indication if the Gatsos are on the opposite carriageway (quite how they know when they are turned round as some are round here - mounted in middle of road I don't know) also when I checked companies house they had not sent returns in although they did respond to me and say they "please rest assured we intend to be around for a few years" Also they did not have an easy option of mounting the radar detector outside the car (near the number plate as you can with the S4R) So the S4R became my choice as a result.
Had to buy the seperate laser detector as this will pick up much more from mobile units - which is where I got a huge scare back in november on the A303 near Salisbury - over a hill - long stretch of downhill - layby at the bottom lovely white van with the rear tailgate showing a neat laser installation when you got near - I was probably doing over 90 when I came down the hill - but had my suspicions and slowed down - but at a range of a mile and a half - I am watching the post carefully!  |
