Is Escort and Bel the same company?

[kuepol]

I heard from a sorta-reliable source that they are the same company just 2 names and the rx65 and 8500 have the exact same components and work about the same depending on the setting of them both.....

Is the source accurate?
..........semi-accurate?
.........or way off base and should be shot?

Escort owns Beltronics

Escort owns Beltronics

so my source was correct! ahhaaa

So BOTH are great detectors, why the ramp up on the 8500 x50 ?

Their most recent CES exhibitions are under the Cincinnati Microwave name brand so it's a reasonable assumption
