Default Vector 995.....Opinions?

I'm currently evaluating the Vector 995 again due to the failure of a v940.

Anyone out there have one? Any opinions and/or experiences you could share?

I am a Bel 980 fan... little old in time... but I have used the 995 before... it is a pretty good radar but the difference in money and performance i would honestly go with the cheaper bel 980, the performance seems just about the same and if I am not mistake the vector 995 is 220-250.00 at Best Buy that I paid for one... one time

Default well

I can attest for the 995 even though it's on loan to a friend presently. The 995 is a great rd, sometimes better than the higher ups and sometimes not better, it all depends on a lot of variables. My 995, once gave me an unheard of 3.8 miles range on ka band against C/O which made my jaw drop. The radar bands worked quite well especially POP mode. Laser was fair as other units were better but not bad for the money. Since BelEscort couldn't fix my Bel 970 I so loved, they replaced it w/ this model and only cost me $140. I think they go for between $200-$300 now.

I'm really itching to hear some conclusive data on the m4 vs. s7 to see if there is really any performance differences between the 2. I currently have a new m4 995. I could get my hands on a s7 995 but I am still unsure of all the hype.

Are you comparing this to the 995 rev 4.5 version that I have on loan?

I can't help it. This m4 is blind to the sides.

I have a v940 rev 4.5 thats in to Beltronics for repair. The rev 6.3 995 is most obviously blind to the sides. I am not a fan of Bels new horn design. Can't wait for the rev 4.5 940 to return to perform some real world comparisons again......I'm addicted.
