Escort 8500 X50

lots of X falses - turned x band off.
Great K band detection - a good 1-2.5 Kms on highway patrol guys. - some falses.
Good Ka band detection - on the rare occasion not enough forward warning but still enough.

Then again if you think a radar is gonna save you when your doing 20+ over the limit forget about it.

at the end of the day your choice is probably between an escort 8500 x50 or a bel rx65. theyre practically identical bar some differences.

but 1-2.5 kms should be enough distance for you to wipe off that 20kmh...right?

so the escort seems to be a good way to go. how about the vakentine? or does it not do much different of a job.

I have the Stealth Ninja G-O from that website..But it seems to pick up the camera's too late (ie. as i pass). Helped me a few times, but still, i'd like an earlier warning. I mount it fairly low, maybe that's the problem? Any suggestions?
