I think they are definitely worth it. I got a new Uniden R3 and it paid for itself on the ride back from Asheville. If false alerts are bothersome turn off K band. Seems to me that is better than no detector. I don't seem to get so many that it bothers me.

A radar detector won't do shit vs. laser, but Ka is still used a lot, so I find a good detector + Waze (which also provides useless, out of date or false alerts of its own) useful.
