Default RADIO SHACK RADA DETECTOR

freaking piece of crap!
its near the end of the month, and cops trying to get some tickets.

so, I borrow the RADIO SHACK RADA DETECTOR with LASERVOICE from my buddy.
PIECE OF CRAP!!!

I pass THREE patrol cars on I-45, 2 on the right shoulder and 1 on the left.
The freaking radar goes beeeeep when I passed the cops. and that is all it does!!!!!!
crazy crap.
I was going 85 in 65 zone, scared the crap out of me when I see cops, and the radar does not work well.
DONT BUY IT!!!
Which one is good guys? Escort?...

IF all three cops were pulled over in the same spot, chances are they weren't firing their speed detectors, hence no beeping
