PM me if you want more info, I've tested quite a few detectors!
Delonix is the cheapest by far since changing their prices to USD. There's no reason to buy from anyone else. (IMO)

Do you regret buying an unneeded product and losing $300 on it? Or did it not work as expected?

LOL yes and yes

, there were so many false alarms it wasnt funny! it had me constantly sitting nervous on the edge of my seat . It gives a few seconds reaction time at most to react to a multanova (not enough time to pull up if 15-20ks over limit). Also if you like your stereo loud like me you'll never here the damn thing going off

So yeah IMO detectors are a joke. But if others have success with it good for them, im just saying for me it didnt.

Can I ask did you have a remote mute button with your detector or vertical bracket? Also you can delete the K frequency and stop alot of false readings.
