Default Radar Detector Selection

So during my most recent run to Salem to visit a friend, (got from the Sheetz by New London drag strip to exit 137 {i think, its the last salem exit} on 81, in about an hour)

I began to ponder, between constant glances in my rearview and across the horizon to check to troopers etc, what if any detectors can we use in our area? I realize it is illegal, but hey..so is 75mph on 460 between L'burg and Roanoke.

If you use em, list up what you have..or PM me if you'd like...I plan on doing a decent amount of out of state driving as well so then it'll be "legal" and stuff.


Thanks to all
Matthew

Import Tuner had a new blue tooth one in there, its completely undetectable. They mount the sensor in your grill, or on your bumper, and then it sends a signal wirelessly to a blue tooth receiver in your dash that triggers a light that you have mounted wherever you want. Its just a little blue light that is noticeable, but excuseable. I'll try to look it up if anyone is interested. Oh, and they make a kit for both owned cars, and for leased cars as well.
