Escort 8500 laser question from a newbie..

[benzspeeder]

Does anyone have a picture of what the 8500 x50's display looks like when it receives a laser hit ? WHAT DOES IT SHOW????? i have yet to encounter a laser hit and would really like to see a pic of an 8500 screen showing the LASER display. i have seen X, K, and Ka, on my screen. (I have taken a liking to the SPEC mode myself) but no laser or Lidar display.
the weird thing is:
when looking at the manual online for the 8500, it doesnt show an example picture of the laser pic either, shows X K KA but not laser. it seems like they don't really want to discuss the laser portion of the 8500 or its ability to detect..... i intially thought laser was Ka but after reading the forums I realized it wasnt...
BTW
THIS IS A GREAT FORUM...

It flashes LASER and makes a sound that's unmissable

[Orbital75]

Yeah...... It just displays LASER on the Display.
You'll know it's laser it has a distinctive ear piercing sound.

X2
And you’ll s@%t your pants the 1st time it goes off.

Yes ull for sure drop a deuce your pants when you hear laser sound, and so you know, pop makes the same noise but says POP instead of LASER....

[ELVATO]

POP makes a full alert Ka sound.

Laser will display a constant "Laser" on the screen, and make a loud ear-piercing sound, as heard in this video.

Outrun had a couple videos showing the X50 alerting to lidar traps. I'm guessing they are on his video site.

I know that on the RX 65 during the long warm up, you hear laser going off as part of the self test. Does the X50 do the same?

if you do a full length powerup on the x50, it cycles through and then ramps through the lowest band (x, or k if x is disabled) iirc

Drive by a commercial airport. Chances are good you'll get a laser alert. :?
