[W126 Coupe] laser jammers

[Chiappinelli, Joseph]

Jim,
Just curious. I was wondering if you've had any first hand experience with the Passport 8500 or Solo 2. If so, what did you find lacking as compared to the V1?

Richard,

I like the V1.  It's by far the best detector I've
owned.  Spend the money because it's worth the price.

Yes, laser jammers are very effective.
