I've used the Escort for two years now and have been quite happy with it.
Two features that are especially useful are the different audio sound
for K and X band radars, and the beeping frequency increases with signal
strength.

Of course all radar detectors are essentially passive devices.  With the
best defense being a good offense, it's time for civilian ECM (Electronic
Counter Measures).  Get yourself a microwave transceiver (look in the hobby
mags) that works just beneath the X band.  Modulate the sidetones to lock
the radar gun to whatever speed you wish.  It won't do to set it to 55.
Instead make the gun read 155.  They'll know you were speeding, but no
judge in the world is going to believe a Honda Civic can do that.  A simpler
solution is to burn out the gun entirely with a pulsed source that triggers
on a strong signal.  A couple of watts radiated power through a horn antenna
in the front grill will do nicely.

Everything in the second paragraph is illegal so be careful.
