Interference question

[nate4488]

Has anyone ever ran a 8500 refurb with a Whistler SE model? If so was there any noticeable interference or do you think there would be. I could probably get a foot of separation between the two detectors on my windshield if that would help? I'm wanting to use the 8500 for its better range and the Whistler for its better reactivity.

I ran my 8500 X50 (S7) with a Pro 78se. They did not play nice. If it's not an M3 rd, it will interfere.

It is NOT advisable in running two RD's.

When my S7 X50 and XTR690 were powered up together (indoors for testing), it was a battle. Not recommended. You won't be doing yourself any good, and won't accomplish what you're setting out to do.

I actually just tested this with my X50 S7 last weekend.. The results were not good.. In my test the two competed back and forth and reacted terribly against my busnell..

Would not recommend.

No, the interference will be really bad.

ok thanks i was just wanting to hear some real life experiences. i know you arent supposed to run two detectors together but was just wondering how they worked with each other. not very well seems to be the conscensus
