My question is are these a good buy @ $149. shipped? I think they are a straight 8500 not the later models. Thanks.

Yeah its a great deal would of bought this instead of my 9500ix if id known and saved me about 400 dollars, free shipping and i don't think you even pa taxes. They perform about the same except trulock i believe and no pop mode which no one here in my area uses.
Excellent RD with a great price. Can't go wrong with the 8500.
Good deal. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe they will start selling 9500ci refurbs
just purchased one of these, its supposedly arriving today off the UPS truck. It was a great replacement for my 955, which died recently.
Does anyone know if I can use my V1 hardwire cord with the Escort?
Yes you can use the V1 hardwire cord to run the Escort. At least on the X50, not sure about any others.
I use my V1 hardwire to run my 9500ix, so I'm sure it will run the 8500 also.
Glad I saw this post!!!!!
Just had my X50 stolen, and times are REALLY tight for me right now, so although I woulda loved to done the 9500ix, but I just cant swing it now. So just ordered the refurb for $149. Got an email from them saying it was shipped almost immediately. I hate taking a chance on used stuff, but been dealin w/ Cinci micro for 20+years and never been let down, so I'm hopin this is no exception.
I live in Chicago area, and I dont remember my 8500X50 ever using the POP feature, at least that I know of. Anyone know if POP is being used anywhere around me, or would I of been alerted of POP, or just a faint gradual build up of KA band warning?
