    OK, seriously I think they are the same, the 895 was made for Radio Shack. The 955 has a alphanumeric text display. They have the same retail price.

    So I should go with the 895? I'm helping out my friend trying to buy a "detector" for under $200

    The Bel 895 is the same as the 965 not the 955. The 895 doesn't have the interchangable faceplates which means nothing. What is important is that the 895 is labeled a 10x for sensitivity like the higher end models, is LP905 ready, has autoscan, and three city modes. The 955 is labeled 8x, doesn't have the other features I just listed and has two city modes. Consider also that the 965 is listed at about $50 dollars more than the 895 and you can see that the 895 is an absolute steal! I'll be posting another thread about it's great performance and some other thoughts! Hope this helps.

    BEL 965 and BEL 895 are the same detector is my guess
    Look at the manuals
    http://www.beltronics.com/manuals/v895manual.pdf
    http://www.beltronics.com/manuals/v965manual.pdf

    The BEL 895 is the best buy...to bad roy doesn't sell it

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!
    You are thinking of the BEL V 995 not the 895

    BEL 955 and BEL 895 are the same detector is my guess
    Look at the manuals
    http://www.beltronics.com/manuals/v895manual.pdf
    http://www.beltronics.com/manuals/v955manual.pdf
    I was going to do that comparison as well, but I was too lazy, thanks for the info, I thought I had my as.s handed to me by tsapilot, it sounded good.
