It picks up X K Ka Laser Pulse-laser & Photo Radar traps.
I am moving in 1 1/2 months to a state where owning a radar
detector is against the law.  I can honestly say this unit
has saved me at least "20" speeding tickets in the last year
alone.  This unit (which is in a "metal" housing, not plastic
like most) retails for $199.95.  I purchased it through the
Home Shopping Club for $139.95.  I've had it about 14months
and I am asking $70 for it. (does not include shipping)
