I'm pretty happy with my Escort 8500. It has a "City/No X" mode that cuts false alarms to nearly nothing. Like others have said, I know where it does false and mentally tune it out. When the signal is real, I know it.

They finally opened up 9A so I can take it to work and it's freeway all the way. I use "highway" mode for max range. Come to think of it, I keep it in highway mode all the time now. If I'm driving around town a lot, I switch modes.

I mounted mine up by the rh side of the mirror with the unit just a bit below the tint. You can't see it outside the car and it is up about as high as it can get in our low cars. I ran the wire under the trim and down to the fuse panel in the ps footwell.
