cobra xrs 9630 far cry to meet its own features
I usually don't write any reviews, its a waste of time anyway.
I am going to be brief. I got the product quick, that's fine.
i went to birmingham to tested and to atlanta also; i passed three troopers at the other side of the road, the device didn't beep even once.
it went off a couple of times, but who knows what it was, i did not see any police car. during highway it was so disappointed, i saw many police cars at the side of the road with all their lights on and no detection at all.
Im telling you it makes me laugh when i went back to the box to read all the features, not even close to meet at least one of those with reliability. I read an article saying that you dont get a good radar for less than a three hundred dollars, i start to believe that. i am impressed how many good articles i have seen in this site promoting this product. i simply don't understand, must be someone that works for this radar. please try it out but be sure that they are going to reimburse you the money before doing it. in the scale from 1 to 10 this product is 2 maybe. i gave 2 stars because people dont trust in 1 star rating. think about getting a speed ticket of $200 for trusting this device, try it out, drive at 55mphs/hr just for testing and you will see the piece of thrash you have. then return it.
Rating  - Blacked out
To point out what others have said, this detector works fabulous and the range is fantastic. In that area, I'm extremely happy with it.
The compass thing isn't really a big deal for me... I never really programmed it so I won't make any other comments about it.
There was an issue I've had with this detector and it's quite bothersome. BUT this may be partly the fault of my 12v power outlet in my car. I noticed sometimes while driving the detector would "restart" itself. I traced this back to a loose connector for the power outlet. I assumed I fixed since the restarting stopped. About 4-5 months after I bought it I started seeing strange incomplete lettering and blocks on the display. The detector continued to function properly.
Now about 8 months later the display shows nothing at all. It is completely non-functional. The detector still works fine though audibly. Did my loose connector end up causing a strange short in the display? I'm not sure. The connector is not a problem anymore but the display no longer shows. It's ok. I can deal with it. :)
Rating  - DOES THE JOB
This unit picks up signals with ease. If anything, it picks up too many signals and when programmed for all the radar sources, it constantly beeps.
It picks up the POP signal at times, when I can not see a visable source for a POP radar unit. Nevertheless, that is not to say it doesn't work right.
To compare it with the Escort is like comparing apples and grapes, but it seems to do the job, and for the price, it is a good buy.
I would suggest that the owner try the factory settings prior to reprograming for additional radar signals. Some area only have K band and laser. So, you in essence have an over kill in signals.

Rating - It worked
Have not got pulled over after having it. It did warn me of a roadside police about a mile ahead on high way once and an emergency vehicle approaching the other time. Usually the false alarm is weak signal that I can tell after getting familiar with it.
My only question is it tends to get hot, very hot, although it seems not affecting functioning. Do not know whether it is usual.
