    Default Rx65 V.S 8500 non-x50

    I was just lookin on ebay and saw that that escort has their own ebay store. So now I am sure that I got my two choices down. Which one of these would be better with 35.5 ka band.
    Rx65 or 8500 non x50

    dont know much about the 8500 but i know the rx65 does have the capability to change your Ka to USA mode which allows it to be more sensitive to the 3 bands used in the USA instead of always scanning for all the bands in Ka range...hope that helps...and i have never had a problem detecting 35.5 Ka

    <-- had RX65 for a month and no problems in town. Going on 3K mi roadtrip over Easter break and look forward to the highway coverage.

    I researched until I got to a point of core requirements (not features) and performance (see GOL tests and opinions here). Don't over analyze!

    Stealthjamal is the expert of 35.5ka. He has THOROUGHLY tested X50's, RX65's, STI's, V1's, 8500, etc. Most of the RD's he tested he tested a FEW samples. He has concluded that the STI and 8500 are the best vs 35.5Ka
