SOURCE: Cobra radar detector speaker replacement

I called cobra support(777-889-3087) and it was around $6 plus shipping for a replacement speaker.
the correct phone number for cobra support is 773-889-3087 and can be found on their website.
Cobra was very courtious and I also got my replacement speaker for my XRS-9500.!

The Cobra XRS-757 is the same as the Cobra XRS-9330. The difference in model number is due to the 757 being sold at Wal-Mart stores.

SOURCE: undersatanding the 12 bands of cobra xrs 797

Its all marketing hype. Cobra breaks up the three X, K and Ka bands into sub-bands, and they do the same for the single 904nm laser wavelength. There are no sub-bands for X or K band. In the USA, Ka band radar guns operate on three Ka band frequencies: 33.8, 34.7 nd 35.5 MHz. Cobra also breaks up the single laser band based on the known pulse rates of various laser gun models. Yet in general if you get a laser alert from a nearby cop then likely you have been tagged and will be getting a ticket.

SOURCE: radar detector codes

When any detector "detects" radar, it will produce some form of Audiable sound. If someone is speeding, they need to slow down IMMEDIATELY if they want to avoid a ticket. It doesnt really matter if the radar gun is x, k, ka, ku, etc. You will probably get a ticket if you dont slow down.

Most dectectors will have indicators lights or displays that indicate the x, k, ka, etc., radar signals are actually being detected. This can provide SOME useful information. THe letters simply designate BANDS of frequencies that are used to send the radar beams. It is similar to changing the channel on a radio - k and ka bands use HIGHER frequencies for their radar signals.

X band is the oldest radar band and it is used for police radars AND door openers at supermarkets and other locations. If you drive by a supermarket, your radar detector is likely to go off and it is almost certainly going to be X band. CHeck it out next time you drive by a supermarket with an automatic door opener.

Since the police and the radar companies like to play cat and mouse, newer radar bands have been invented that OBSOLETE the older radar detectors. When the K bands showed up in the police radar guns, the radar detector folks had to have a new product offering that would detect X band and K band. And the race continues to go on even today and now, there are LASER police speed detectors and the new "RADAR" detectors now need LASER detectors as well. If you want to know the exact frequencies of these "bands" (K, Ka, etc), let me know and I will send them to you. But they are operating in the tens of GigaHertz regions.

  • For a Cobra ESD-8200 Radar Detector you can choose from a strait cord or a coiled cord. It's just your preference/ Either will work.

I HAVE A COBRA RADAR DETECTOR AND HAVE TO BUY A REPLACEMENT CAR/CIGARETTE POWER CABLE.I HAVE SOURCED A COMPANY WHICH CAN SUPPLY AN 800ma OR 2000ma power.DO YOU KNOW THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF A COBRA MODEL...

I dont know the exact amp rating on the ESD9000 you could probably get away with a 1 amp fused cig plug. Using a cig plug this is basically direct to your battery. You can use any universal cig plug adapter as long as you make sure you have the polarity set correctly, usually on the Cobra radars the center is positive.

Even though it is plugged into power it still won't show any information. It worked one day , but the next day it wouldn't work.

I looked at the 9700's instruction manual, and I could not find any method for resetting the 9700 to its factory default settings. My guess is that the display has failed since there are several other posts for various other Cobra RDs where the display suddenly stopped working.

Pramming for cobra xrs 9330 radar detector

Here is a link to Cobra's RD product manuals page:

Cobra - Product Manuals

To the original poster, the officer could have used laser, vascar, or pacing to issue a speeding ticket. The officer also could have used a very quick burst of instant-on radar which Cobra brand radar detectors are notorious for not detecting. The officer also could have used a 35.5 Ka band radar gun. Cobra and other import brands of radar detectors usually have great difficulty detecting 35.5 Ka band radar.

Cobra XRS 9950 Radar Detector not powering up

At the end of the power cord for the radar detector the end screws off and there is a fuse for the radar detector itself. Check it....

If that isn't the problem post back for further help.

Thank you for choosing Fixya!

Reading the radar detector

These are just the frequency ranges, or "bands" that your detector is detecting the frequencies...

X, K, Ka (Kappa-Alpha) are different bands of frequencies.
