Radar Detectors
 

What is considered the best radar detector for WA conditions

Welby

Bel STi, Bel RX65 is pretty good, I have one and hasn't let me down yet. I picked mine up for $300 of ebay, brand new still in wrapper

I have had a bit of a look into it. Seems the BEL RX 65 is one of the best bank for buck ones. Can be had new for around $400. Hooked a mate up with one and used it for about a week or so and was reasonably impressed.

The new BEL STI I think performs similarly but is undetectable to RDD. So if you wanted to future proof yourself against the possible introduction of the radar laws they might be an option. Not aware that they perform significantly better than the RX65.

Think the Escort X50 (ort something along those lines) rates well also.

vote for rx65 as well Great unit

I've got the Escort 8500, both this and the RX65 are made by the same company now, either one will suit you fine, comes down to which one is cheapest.

Same price now too. Think the escort is 395.

i have an old Bel XR850 (same as the 990 Int, but without the Int bands), and it's worked well for me. new ones aren't fantastically better.

I bought a new Passport 8500 X50 when in the states last month for $330. I don't speed but I don't like suprises and bills either. It has been very effective at warning about "emergency vehicles approaching". Can't recommend enough and it comes in a sweat carry case as well. It should be standard equipment on the STI :D
