    Default X50 range... Deffinatly passed

    ok so i have my new X50 blue rev 5 for like a week now and have been getting alot of instant on and the police here us 34.7 Ka band which i think is a harder one to pick up, but anyways i already dropped the thing and figured ive already toasted this detector but today im crusing and i get a Ka on the EXP meter and it slowly starts going up when suddenly whats this, I get another Ka reading so i travel down the road for 1.6 mi WOW and two LEO's at the top of the hill both facing my side traffic and after i pass i dropped one of the Ka's because one of the cars did not have a rear antenna but one did and i kept picking that rear up for another .7 mi.... and then after the whole ordeal i enjoyed seeing that scaning plus sign

    Nice to hear your X50 is working good for you, its not in the Top-3 for nothing, its a downright amazing overall performer.

    Hi check out my videos below. All are in ka bant and 34.7 (stalker dual dsr) I have range like 2 miles.

    Ka bant may be hard to pick up but not for ESCORT 8500 X50........

    YES today at lunch another amazing range situation. so there is this LEO that sits in this median over like two hills and when i had my V1 i got 1.4 range from him and i know this is not a accurate comparrison because there are too many varibles such as the angle and strength of his radar, but i got 2.1 with the X50. It was almost to much range. my friend in the car was like damn this is annoying so i muted it and changed to SPEC mode to see the gun and it was a 35.something. i dont remeber but i was very pleased. started to love this guy :wink: and i dont plan on returning it for a 6.1
