I use this one also. Very good detector. Batteries last about 3 months or so. Saved me from a ticket just last night coming up over an overpass. Started going off before I got to the up-slope and as I got to the top(all the while slowing), there was Smokey Bear, LA State Police.Âcdaniel76 said:Escort Radar Detectors makes a cordless detector that uses 2 AA batteries. It's one of the best detectors on the market right now.Â
I have one in my truck. Check it out: http://www.escortradar.com/solo.htm
