Strengths: Very stylish design, 12 Band, can receive all Radar & Laser signals including the latest Ku Radar gun, Electronic compass, Awesome features
Summary: This is one awesome device, and I started loving it since the first day. It has a very stylish design which suites your car windshield or the dashboard, it looks so cool there. When switched on, the device carries a self test and tells that everything is ready go. In the standby mode, the 8 point electronic compass is very handy feature built in. >>

This is capable of picking up all radar & laser currently being used for speed measurement, including the new Ku band radar gun. The unit is also capable of detecting the instant on POP radar gun. Still you can switch off some radar bands individually if you don’t want to be using it. AutoMute & IntelliMute are great features of the device; AutoMute reduces the volume automatically after few seconds of receiving a signal so there will be no irritation with high volume alert continuously and IntelliMute mute all Radar/Laser warnings if your car is on idle. The unit provides protection against Radar detector detectors like VG-2 and Spectre1. And also it can warn you presence of such detectors if you want it to. >>

For all those who have mentioned about false alarms, I believe this unit generate false alarms coz it extremely sensitive. As I experienced, near microwave towers device generates a Ka alert most of the time, X and K alerts where I believe some other radar sources are, like auto door openers. I guess Cobra designed this unit to be very sensitive for the weakest signal to gain “Xtream Range”. Except when you’re in the city mode, there is no way to filter false alarms. It’s always a compromise. It’s up to the user to identify the potential threat by reading the signal strength. Still, the City mode does not have a function to filter Ka & Ku bands. >>

The audio alerts are very clear with it's nice female voice and own pattern of buzzing for each radar and laser warning. >>

I been using this unit on roads of Sri Lanka, and I got myself saved on the very first day of using the device. Normally if the signal strength is 1 or 2, most of the time it’s a false alarm, or a police speed gun bit far away. But if the signal strength go beyond level 3, that tells me of a police speed gun close by. And I'm proud to tell you to this moment, I have saved over 15 speed tickets. Even if you were the first target of a radar gun, quick action of yours followed by the alert can save you a speed ticket. >>

There are only few weaknesses; I hope Cobra electronics will work on them on their up coming models. The unit is bit bouncy on the windshield bracket. A solid fix would be great. And I prefer the display to be better in quality. The green colored character indication is kind of less in quality compared to the external stylish finish & the massive capabilities of the device. >>

When installing the device, I did my own wiring to power the unit & installed it next to rear view mirror towards driver's side. In this installation, you have to make sure the unit’s Laser eye has a clear view of rear windshield to obtain 360 degree Laser detection. I liked a higher position coz if I installed it lower near to the dash board, everybody can recognize a presence of some gadget very easily. That could be a risk of theft & or the unit seen by a policemen. (Check out the pictures below) >>

Finally, Cobra XRS 9730 is great value for money. I say go for it, you will never regret with its stylish design, features & most importantly when you start saving your money & valuable time you had to waste on speed tickets! >>

Drive safe.
Best regards.

Strengths: Stylish design, super 12 bands range power
Summary: I just love this item when picking up radar signals, the only thing I don't like is the setting I have to do for the compass some times when using it between my car and my family vehicle, so I have to drive 2 complete circles to get done. Also I would like a power cord that could be easily put it in a hidden location around the windshield.

Strengths: picks up all radar
Summary: Used the new radar detector in our new BMW on a road trip from NH to DC. Didn't get a ticket and didn't go slow! Tested the new car and the radar efficiently.
