    Default Best bel pop performer (excluding rx65)

    after seeing the 895 and 995 fail ka pop tests i was wondering what would be good alternatives that cost less than the rx65.

    I wouldnt worry about POP to much to be honest with you... where do you live, you can find out if its heavily used in your area if you tell us (approx) where u live.

    The V995 does just fine on POP:

    I can upload the videos again if you want..

    I assume you're going by the SML 2005 POP results. There was a lot that didn't make sense with those results...I would bet the V895 does just fine too, but I haven't tested that model.

    I would go with the 895. It is a very good performer.

    If it's not too much trouble...I would be interested in seeing those videos, Jim.....just for the heck of it. Seems the only vids we have people hosting these days are of laser jammers (not that there's anything wrong with that - Seinfeld)

    Jim,
    If you want to test the 895 POP let me know and I will send it to you.
    If you want I will send you the new Whistler XTR 560 and you can test POP on that as well.
