Is this a good detector or is it not worth getting
Its kinda outdated.It make the x50 look like it cme out yesterday.The x50 came out about 1 1/2 years ago. So the 4500 is ancient expecialy to todays threats.
I had a 4500 and it is very short sighted on KA band. It was good at the time but on ebay you can get them for next to nothing now.Originally Posted by whistler
i figured to dig this thread out of the dead. I have the opportunity to buy a used 4500 for 30$. I know its not as good as today's top notch detectors but is it at least better than a cobra or an early warning?
It really depends. . if you're looking to speed. Than don't waste your money. If you're just curious if the LEO has his radar on - yes - this will be fine.
If you're going to speed - just invest in something worthwhile.
I wouldn't buy it for $30, and I definitely wouldn't depend on it for protection. Whether it is as good as today's Cobras or Early Warnings is debatable. I believe that X and K Band range on the 4500 is less than the original X/K Passport, and Ka is almost worthless.Originally Posted by Event Horizon
I would assume that the 4600 is better than the 4500 and this is how it did in testing back in the day. I couldn't find any testing of the 4500. Click on the bottom 3 images to make them bigger.
thank you for the very useful information. Now is the passport 4600 and the escort 4600 different models??
