Default Radar detector advice/suggestions

I know nothing about which detectors are good, and this is a problem.
I want your opinion and suggestion on which radar detector I should get, budget is about $500 dollars. I'm tired of getting popped in rural BFE speedtraps, most recent one was out in the middle of nowhere SE Colorado ... 82 in 65.
Soo, I want your recommendations and advice on which to choose, hardwiring is not an issue.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry it does not OWN3S all. In fact, it sucks and no one trust radartest.com

To OP, do a search here and there are plently of threads about it.

I personally have V1 and am very happy with it.

V1 for sure, but make sure they are using radar in your area. Here in GA even podunk towns are using Laser and even the V1 is useless against Laser

The best radar detector is the DTSL model.
