Does anyone have any experience of the BTST Radar/Laser detector?

Never heard of them until Googling them, just now.

I thought that was the game where you get those LED signs which tell you how fast you're going (usually near villages etc) and the game is to see if you can break it (they only have room for 2 digits...)

Never played it myself.

Is that any different in capability to almost any other of its type I've seen,

in fact the last One I had in car, that offered similar spec'
just became a nuisance around shop doorways.

I bought one for running around in My Marcos (and checking the accuracy of the speedo)as did a couple fo other Marcos owners. Had a bit of trouble loading up the first version of the updating software they sent but they were very helpfull and sorted the software glitch for me in a couple of days. The unit is shallow from back to front and tall from top to bottom gives a good large clear screen but difficult to fit under a steeply raked windscreen. The unit works from a remote censor so can be fitted other than on top of the dash or on the windscreen (Mines on the transmission tunnel). Its certainly appears to be accurate but you really have to be prepared to put up with the regular alarms and vocal warnings (as with other warning systems I have experienced). The alarms and warnings are loud enough to be heard over the bellow of my none to subtle 4.0 V8 but get a little overpowered If I also have the top down at speed. I already have Satnav but if I was starting afresh and didn't have Satnav I would buy a decent combined Satnav/Radar warning device.
