turbo2's Full Review: BEL 860 Radar Detector
Tried this unit for two weeks. Similar to the Cobra 9100 the audio range of adjustment is not wide enough. This unit can barely be heard above moderate radio volume settings and is completely washed out when the windows are open at highway speeds. To make matters worse the design of the visual indicators are hard to see in bright sun light.

The unit has reasonable false alarm rejection and the sensitivity is moderate. The majority of the false alarm signals were on Ka band. The unit gave me a second or so to react after the first signal before I would have been able to be clocked.

I returned the unit I purchased for a refund.
