My friend just picked up the Bel 980 and that was said to be one of the top Radar Detectors. I would have to disagree. The false alarms that it gives off out weigh the distance factor. As far as the pasport I haven't heard much. I have a whistler that was there top model from about 2 years ago and it does pretty good, although If I had the money I would get the V1. Good Luck.
