Amazon.com Product Description
Among the many great features provided by the Vector 940 radar detector, you'll get complete access to Vector's Flash Technology, which makes it easy to reprogram your device as new police traffic radar monitoring technologies emerge. There's also Shadow Technology II, which makes your 940 undetectable to the well-used Interceptor VG-2 Radar Detector Detector, and you'll get driver-selectable features that allow you to customize how alerts will be presented to you. Alert types include: Laser Alert, X Band Alert, K Band Alert, and Ka Band Alert. To get you started, the 940 comes with a Tutorial Mode that walks you through the various settings for each situation, including highway and citywide modes. There's also screening for the Safety Warning System, which warns motorists of potential road hazards by employing Safety Warning System transmitters in areas such as construction zones, accident sites and detours. These transmitters operate within the 24 GHz portion of the K band frequency, and broadcast uniquely coded signals that are detected by the 940 unit. Please note that sales of this product are restricted to the United States and shipment is prohibited to addresses in Virginia and Washington DC.

 NO WARRANTY @ Amazon.com February 16, 2010

My Radar detector (V940) was purchased January 2010. One month later the detector stopped working and would not turn on. I verified it was not the power source or the cable; the unit was receiving power but would not turn on. Well I wasn't too happy but I knew it was covered by a 1 Year warranty. I called up Beltronics only to find out that they DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY CLAIMS for products purchased from Amazon.com!!! Even worse, they wanted $79.99 + shipping to fix the unit. Needless-to-say, I find their level of customer service inadequate and disconcerting given the volume of product they sell through this site. I will not purchase another Beltronics product and would advise highly against it given their lack of professionalism in standing behind the quality of their own product.
 Very satisified January 15, 2005

This is the only radar detector I have ever owned, so I cannot compare it to any others, but I am very happy with it. Because of this lack of experience, I am hesitant to give more than 4 stars. The only negative thing I can see about this is that I get many more false readings than real warnings, but since I drive through the city a lot, that is to be expected. On the positive side, I find that I get warnings as far as 1.5 miles away on a strong signal (I was driving toward one of those speed trailers that says "Speed limit 65, your speed: xx" on the freeway with the detector set on "Highway"). Under more normal conditions, I usually have somewhere around 3/4 mile which gives plenty of time to check and reduce speed if necessary.
This paid for itself a few months ago after detecting a cop around a corner of a large rock face. I slowed down and the car just behind mine passed me and then got pulled over.

The device performs exactly as indicated in the literature. All of the features function correctly and with excellent sensivity. In addition, the amazon.com performaance was excellent. I chose the free shipping option. I ordered Tuesday evening. The unit was shipped within 24 hours from a Kentucky warehouse. It was in the UPS Minneapolis office Saturday and was delivered Monday...six days after my order! Bravo Beltronics and bravo amazon.com!
An excellent detector at a great price October 21, 2003

Having done a lot of research before making my purchase, I have come to understand much about radar detectors in general. First of all, no matter how many radar "bands" a radar detector claims to detect, there are only 3: X/K/KA. This detector detects all of these, plus laser. A word on laser: radar/ laser detector combos that you mount on your windshield do not detect laser very well at all- officers direct their laser beam at the license plate, which is quite far away from these detectors. Thus, do not have much hope for any laser detector. I found the Bel Vector 940's performance with laser to be quite good, considering the enormous advantage the police have over laser detectors. However, the 940's performance with all bands of radar is almost unbeatable in this price range. The more money you shell out, often, the better detector you will get. Thus this is not as sensitive as other, more expensive models I have tried, but it works to such a degree that I question whether or not spending more money actually means getting a better detector. The bottom line: This detector is, all things considered, one of the best out there.

This is worthless. It doesn't make a sound until you are right next to a cop. Thanks Beltronics, but I don't need a radar detector to tell me when a cop is 20 yards away, I can see him just fine.
