Review of the 9500i

This helped some in my decision process. There are a lot more tests, but unfortunately the 9500i is a little too new for the really big yearly tests in El Paso.

Cheers!
Okay I'm sold on the GPS capabilities - I was originally leaning to the Bell STi because of the metal housing - out here in Bako - it's currently 118 degrees and detectors in plastic cases don't fair well inside hot cars with this heat. They last about 2 months to be exact... lol...

Having covered parking here at work and a garage at home I think it might survive better now... [8D]

I just pull mine out of the window and place it in a thick wool sock when not in use. It stores well in the glove box, under the seat, or in my briefcase. It was cooking across the Mojave and I was surprise that it kept working well. It was a little hot, but not excessive. I definitely wouldn't leave it cooking in the window while the air conditioning was off.

Cheers!
