I use a Beltronics radar detector and it works very well. I cover the state of Montana and if the roads are nice I get after it. I have slowed way down from the no speed limit days, or the days when it was a $5 ticket, but I normally keep it at 10 over. In Montana you get a $20 ticket that doesn't go on your record for anything 10 MPH over or less. That's to say if the MHP even wants to take the time to pull you over for $20. That's only happened to me once.
Around here the MHP will give you the quick pull on the radar at the last minute so by the time your radar detector goes off, you're screwed. Mine has some serious range, so 99% of the time it will pick up the MHP gunning someone else miles up the road before I get to him, so I know he's around. I haven't had a ticket that has gone on my record for over 25 years. (Disclaimer: I had to bullshit my way out of one about five years ago)
