Do you mean radar detector? If so, I would have to say Escort 8500 X50, or the Valentine 1. Im partial to Valentine one due to the directional arrows. Units are around 350 and 400 respectively.

On the Interstates, a CB is the best radar detector, if that's what you're referring to. The truckers can detect and report before the radar detector can.
