Howdy everybody! This is my first time so I am a little nervous, and I don't know what I am doing. As you can tell currently I live in the radar detector capital of the world. I am proud of both companies, and I have visited both sites. Currently I am shopping for a new RD, however I am limited to funds. Also, I don't want to invest coin into a device which will be outdated shortly. V1 is out of the picture at this time, along with the X50 and Bel 65. I could use the trade-in program up the road and trade in my 4600(Broken) and get 40$ off the 55, however after taxes this will push me over 200$. However, the 55 could be upgradeable in the future. The only pain in the rear is the future of Ku(Whistler Pro-Series). Also, I believe the 55 does not detect both bands of POP. First Question, does the Whistler 58 pick up both bands of POP? Second, why are the Whistler's not upradeable if they seem to use the same cases? Maybe, that is why their prices remain low. I also belive Escort should have more RDs available. Maybe I shold just forget POP and buy an original 8500 for a lower price. A final question, I have a couple pennies stuck in my cigarette lighter plug. Will this weaken my power to my future RD? Well, I will sign off. Again, I don't know what I am doing so if I don't respond quickly my bad. Thank you Radar Roy for this site, and any person who will respond and help me out. I look forward to contributing to the forum.
P.S.
To Bearcat,
The Bearcats are a bunch of thugs, however I like Bob Huggins. Go X! Sorry for getting off the topic. This topic will not be brought up again.
