    Default I just scored a mint Rx65 S7 one owner in the metal case!!

    I searched craigslist again as usually nothing turns up, so I see a rx65 in the case with manual,etc. $125.00

    So I asked if it said s7 on the fcc label, yep it does.

    So I sent him a certified check, he didn't want paypal, scams,etc

    I got the detector the next day, like new.

    Im sure right now you could get close to $300.00 out of it if your a honest seller on ebay like myself.

    But its a keeper and Im sure the Bimmer will enjoy it too.

    Before that I ran the s7 v995 for 7 years before it finally said service required..

    I have it setup for usa KA mode and autoscan, I do like the mute button on the power cable.

    That's an excellent price for mint condition.

    These are getting hard to come by, Escort can't keep the refurbed RX65s in stock.

    Nice...Although the new bel pro300 m4 blows the s7 away in everyway possible. on and off axis. and double k band and ka range. but hey...s7 refurb unit rx65 is still better than most.

    I've got another one for you--does anybody remember the Bel Vector LR (970)?
    It has been a stalwart for the past 12 years, still working well including detecting lidar in Nashville, TN.
    I am considering an Escort Redline although I think I could live with the STI Mangnum for less money.
    Will be doing lots of highway driving although I considered the 9500ix since I will be doing some city driving in Chattanooga and Atlanta, which are speed/redlight camera lovers.
    Any comments appreciated.

    I had a 970 LR, great detector it was a hand tuned unit that came with a certificate showing the exact DB rating for each band.

    i heard the S7 is better off axis and the M4 is slightly better straight ahead distance. M4 is also more reliable. Thats the only difference i have see on the Reviews. so for a fully functioning unit its a wash.

    Does yours still work very well and can you post some videos of you using it ? I have one also but am a bit suspicious it's out of tune a little and not getting the same great reception it use to.

    BTW do you know if this model has the s7 antenna ?

    I have no clue what testing goodtimes40 has done to do a direct comparison of the Pro300 to RX65/S7.......but here is mine.

    http://www.radardetectorforum.org/wi..._Detector_Test

    Something must be wrong, the old S7 SMOKED the Pro300 on both K-Band and 34.7 Ka.

    USA mode didn't do squat for the Pro300 either.

    Thats awesome if the s7 is working good! Maybe if you have to, send it in for a tune up. I dont remember how much they charge but it will be worth it to have it all checked out and calibrated. Grats and enjoy. Love to see some video if you can ever do that. I wanna post my 300 video but I need a friend in the car to do filming. I dont know how some of these guys film on youtube as they must have made some type of holder for the camera/ipod or whatever used. Grats man.
