About 8 months ago, I purchased a BEL Euro 550 radar detector. It's not cheap (approx £300), but it has fantastic reception. It will pick up speed cameras on motorways about 3/4 of a mile away, and I've not had any false alarms from it.
For the record, I don't speed on minor roads, A or B roads, but I do sometimes exceed the limit on motorways, (as do a fair % of the driving population if they are honest).
