Radar Detectors-Best by Brand - Milo
Radar Roy is the expert tester. I just did the math & averaged by brand only from results found on his site. This aimed at the consumer that doesn't necessarily want the best radar detector, but wants to be able to decide by brand alone in a volume discounter store,based solely on the average results by brand.

I bought the Whistler XTR-265 Laser-Radar Detector on Amazon.com. in Aug 2010
Consumers on Amazon gave it a 4.3 out of 5 stars.
I paid $49.86 & shipping was FREE.
I will keep a running review for cheap basic radar protection.
