"No Name Detector"???
I came here hoping to see what an honest and informed member's thoughts and opinions regarding these two detectors were....not to see the usual fanboy worship and discussion...
I'm glad we agree on this. I was expecting something more along the lines of what you were dealing to Chris. Not that he didn't deserve it, and I understand the desire to "smack down" (as you put...
The same would need to be said to nine_c1 and others who are just as guilty (if not more so) of being rude, condescending jerks as what some perceive Chris as being.
Like hessen said, Chris is not...
Your way would definitely be much more cost effective and financially friendly than spending XXX amount of $$$ on a "Simmons LRF 600 laser range finder"....
As did the V995. At least for a while.
I had the V995, and the first few years it was produced it had the S7 platform (mine did, and I bought it in '06). At some point, they started producing...
I got a really good price on my 8500 X50 Black, so that played a HUGE part in my decision as well. It was down to these two particular units, though, and I did want the blue LED.....so the fact that...
It depends on which version or upgrade the X50 has. It should not be cheaper and if it is then I would question it. Does it (X50) have new bubble lens, it changed in late 2011-early 2012 I believe...
Thank you, branedamag....I've more or less come to that conclusion as well. It is odd that when I turned off the TSR, I would pick up the faintest of weak K band signals for a brief second....but I...
Other than USA mode, everything you said applies to the 8500 X50 Black as well.
I'm not denying that the Bel Pro300 is an outstanding detector, I have no doubt that it is. But saying "hands down"...
Thank you
"Speed Signs" are generally not a good source to test a detector , unless you test it within hours of your previous tests. The battery and/or solar power the signs use can weaken...
With the TSR software enabled, the detector is dead. No alert at all.
With the TSR software DISABLED....there is the tinest and faintest of "K Band" detection. But it's one bar, spread out, as...
I'll be honest: When I feel like a company/product deserves to be praised.....I'll do just that.
But likewise....when I feel like a company/product deserves to be trashed....I'll do that as well....
I know what you mean. It is kind of funny, but at the same time a bit frustrating. I remember V1 "fans" being pretty bad years ago....but it seems that they've gotten worse over time. I also...

Hey branedamag.....yeah, the Traffic Flow Monitoring equipment around the Cincy area is RIDICULOUS! I'm glad you chimed in, because I was under the impression that the original 8500 X50 was...
Yeah, that would be interesting to see. My guess is that it will perform very admirably, and comparably to those two. Well, judging from my short-lived experience thus far, that's what I would...
Thanks for that input, powerpickle.
I've had it for a few days now....and to be totally honest, the very first day I used it, I was a little disappointed. Where I live, the interstates are very...
I may be wrong, because Valentine may have "renewed" their patent.....but from my understanding, the patent is due to "expire" sometime in the next year or so.
And to answer the OP...
Thanks for that info, txbearsfan81.:thumb2: 6109
I wasn't sure as to the date that any patent was due to expire...I just remembered that there had been talk recently (within the past few years)...

Hey guys.....it's been a while since I've been in the forum, but simply put that's because I bought a Beltronics Vector 995 a half a dozen years ago and it served me VERY well. It saved me numerous...
That was nice of you! But you'd think people would clue in when someone going fast suddenly slows down for no apparent reason. :roll: "Radar!" is always my first thought when that happens. Even...
I decided to stick with it because of the price and warranty I got for only $280. I dont travel much and dont do alot of driveing so I figured it will work good for me.
BTW whats the latest...
It's the airport. I've lived in Kentucky most of my life and driven through Louisville countless times....and I experienced that with badly my Bel V995, and a friend of mine experiences that...
Falses on laser can and do happen occasionally.....especially around airports. You can almost count on a laser falser around nearly ALL airports....
