    Default need new rd to replace my original 8500

    my original escort has died..

    R.I.P.

    There is this car electronics store that is closing down, and they're having a sale..

    All items are new..

    Bel Pro RX65 ultra long range digital performance radar/laser detector $190.00

    Laser Pro 905 front and rear transceivers block laser detector, can be hooked up to RX65
    209.00

    Good deal?!

    Or should I just stick with a blue x50?

    As long as you get a warranty with the RX-65, I say grab it.

    YES Do not purchase a BEL RX65 unless it comes with a warranty basically sold by a certified dealer and the only way it would be offered at that low of a price means it's not a certified dealer...

    I would just buy another Ecort 8500 x50 cause they are proven more realible then the BEL RX65

    Do you have a lot of 35.5 Ka freqency used in your area? Because if you do, you will be dissapointed with most of the new detectors range on that Ka frequency compared to your orignal 8500 rev 15. The only 2 detectors I've seen do just as good or better against 35.5 Ka is the Bel STi and V1.

    I suggest you replace it with an STi or V1. If you are unsure which one to choose, buy both and keep the one you like the best before 30 days is up.

    Yeah, that is usually the time frame based on past experience. I wonder if they're going to price it similar to the new Cobra.

    I hope that isn't a joint venture with Cobra. :shock: (J/K) Surely they know enough not to do that.
