Cordless radar detectors have limited range and can't compete against even a
cheap cord unit.  While cordless units may be convenient for you, I would
pass on them.

I think that someone answered quickly enough that the Valentine detector
was considered the best on the market right now.

I have another question regarding cordless units.  Are there any that
are really worth their salt?  i don't want to rewire the Alfetta
cigarette lighter just to run a radar detector for occassional use.  I
seem to remember that Escort (originally designed by Mr Valentine, if I
remember right) had a batterry operated model called the Passport.  Am I
right on that?  Is it still being made?  Is there another brand  that I
should consider?  I should mention that money is a consideration.  I'm
not cheap, just vlaue-concious.  Yeah, that's it.
