I've been a long-time fan of Vortex. His passion, drive, ingenuity, and knowledge certainly shows in every video. Bar none the best resource out there when it comes to this industry! I love the comprehensive testing of products. The showcasing of new beta gear not on the market yet. Plus Vortex also adds a sense of reassurance when it comes time to purchasing a product and deciding on what best suits your own personal needs for a detector or an emitter.
Keep up the amazing work Vortex!! <3read more

He's definitely not biased towards any Radar Detector in general, but rather acknowledges they have their own strengths and weaknesses. He's not afraid to tell the truth even if it's something he may or may not agree with. I definitely recommend Vortex Radar and his information, and so should you!read more
