I had a situation the other day. I approached the usual speed sign but I had 2 alerts on K band with arrows pointing forward. When I passed the speed sign, it still pointed one ahead as well as one...
Totally respect and appreciate all you do...
I do disagree with you in regards to Trapster.
I thought I would throw Escort Radar company under the bus while I was at it!
Since I brought it...
Trapster is an excellent source for red/speed camera & known speed trap POI files for Garmin & Tom-Tom GPS's. I'm not referring to their live feature.
Recently I had purchased a Beltronics Pro 500 and gave it an overall favorable review. I had a chance to compare it with my V1. While the V1 shined in overall radar pick up range, especially from...
UPDATE: So I have been driving with the PRO 500 for about a month now. Keeping my V1 off the dash while getting comfortable with the PRO 500.
I must say I do miss the added side and rear...
I think someone definitely needs to update this manual. I also found in the owners manual that the TSR function under bands in the "quick reference" on page 3, but on page 15 "overview of...
Thanks for the info but why does it say on page 26 " The Pro500 will
need to be powered up to use the software tools. If you have a laptop computer, you can take it out to the vehicle to download...
In a world where there are increasingly more and more sources of false X, K & even Ka band radar signals, as well as red-light & speed cameras, a drivers demands are for a radar detector that...
UPDATE: Someone from Hayneedle called. New shipment came in from Beltronics. Will be at my door on the 7th. Just in time from my 420 mile trip to Cape Cod. Can't wait to put this puppy to the...
I am impressed with the Pro 500 features and price. I ordered one but they must be selling like hot cakes. Back ordered till mid/late August.:(
I called...the Pro 300 has been re-skinned (aka RX65) to preform just like its sister or brother, the Escort 8500 X50 Black with a few different or less features.
Same as the Pro 500. It has been...
Thanks for you reply. I have had various updated V1s since the late 90s. I have my V1 programmed with X completely off and K altered to suppress after so many seconds. It helps but I do get annoying...
The PRO 300 looks like a promising unit. From what I read its the same as the new and improved 8500 X50. But that sucks about the laser fault issues. Is it a big issue or a small hindrance? Does...
Once valentine one gets GPS fully integrated, it will be nice.
However, for my driving - which takes me across hundreds of miles of roads in the state of ohio (i work in sales), V1 is best.
...
Consider going to the Trapster web site. It has many different options & alerts to compliment with your V1. But they do work independently of one another. Perhaps with V1's new serial communication...
I agree, its a want a be Trapster knock off. As a matter of fact I question if there is any patent infringements on Trapsters software. I listened to the "live report" from the SEMA show. I honestly...
Yeah I heard about that but I don't have a internet enabled phone so I dismissed it from my brain. Bad example on my part.
It will be interesting to see what devices come available. I'm excited!
What I like best about the V1 that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough is it's quick trigger reaction to very momentary radar signals. Others keep silent.
Getting back to the new serial...
You can go to the Manufactures website and read up on it. Stalker 2X - 2 Zone Directional Police Radar
Always interesting to know their weapons :cool:
I'm up here just outside of Rochester NY. My X band has been off for many years now. Just do your homework and make sure LEOs don't use X band in your area. I do turn it on if I'm traveling out of...
IMO most LEOs are properly trained and are not stupid. After getting friendly with a local officer I have had conversation on his arsenal of weapons. He is well aware of all the detectors out there...
I tell you, the biggest thing I like about the C50 is having an accurate digital read out of your precise speed your traveling. I have mine mounted in the instrument panel and it still picks up the...
A few wanted to know how I liked my new Cheetah C50 Intelligent GPS. Here is my total unbiased review for what it’s worth.
What I Like…
1) Reasonably priced
2) Of course the fact that...
The V1 main unit draws 425 mA DC @ full alarm. 225 mA DC at standby. The main unit requires 12-16 volts DC.
Make sure you have a good ground and are not taping into some other low voltage wire....
