Even if my radar was spot on with every KA,K,X, etc the fact that laser can still tag me is a concern. Of course the radar is just a tool though and common sense must come in to play.
I don't feel the same way you do at all concerning whether or not I have my detector in the car, however, I fully agree with your final statement there. It's another tool in the car and is NOT to be fully relied on.
