Default RADAR DETECTORS( which one?)

I've decided to buy a Radar Detector but really don't know anything about them!?. Anyone on here got one and can vouch for a specific model to buy that's suitable for the Radars used in Australia?.


If I import one from the U.S ( MUCH cheaper than what we pay here) will it be no good here ie are the U.S using diferent Radar frequencies to whats used here...

I have a v1 that I could part with for $400. Awesome bit of kit!
Works perfectly.
Let me know if interested

I like the auto-mute on k band on the STI... They also have a good detection range. The V1 is the better detector for laser scatter which could be the difference between a ticket or not.. .
