Default Yeah, that's why I said above "to clarify".. The reason for my mixup

is because according to Radar Roy, the two units are the exact same electronics inside, just with two different badges because one company bought the other.

Default Bel RX65 and Escort 8500 x50 share the same electronics

Escort bought Beltronics. However, the electronics are fabulous. Quite frankly, all of the following radar detectors are fabulous:

V1
Bel Rx65
Escort 8500 X50
Bel Sti Driver

They are all so damn sensitive that you would have to be a total idiot to get a ticket. All will identify a radar threat well before it shows up on the cop's display.

Some reasons to choose one over the other are:

V1 - those cute little directional threat arrows

Rx65 - voice alerts

Escort - asthetics

Bel STi - Stealth (invisible to radar detector detectors in Virgina), voice alerts.


Quick Reply: Anyone?
