I was wondering...when there is a steady flow of traffic on the highway (where there's always going to be a car in front of you no matter how many people you pass) is it dangerous to pass by everyone...

if you guys are on the highway in steady traffic, do you use the car in front of you as the rabbit or do u count the several cars in front of the car in front of you as rabbits as well? the reason i...

Has anyone here actually tested the impact of the mounting position of their X50 on its radar detection range? I'm just curious how much of a difference a few more inches higher would make on the...

i would also like to note that sometimes when i pass known falses, the X50 does not detect them at all or will detect them after a delay. so this is because im in auto mode? im glad that this...

I was in Auto mode.

The LEOs near me use X band so naturally I have it turned on. Today I got what sounded like a full alert out of nowhere on the highway. It lasted a couple seconds then stopped. I was so confused...

thanks jimbonzzz. you completey cleared up any questions i might have.

im not very knowledgeable when it comes to frequencies beyond the information that is available in the frequency sticky. why is the spec display better for ka band than the other bands? so it does...

how advantageous is it to use the spec display over the other displays that the X50 offers? can and do cops operate their radar on the same frequencies of nearby known falses? can the frequency of...

i like to keep my distance from my rabbit (maybe 1/4 mile or less) for the following reasons:
1) you always run the risk of rear ending a driver if you are too close
2) you might get targeted by...

Escort 8500 X50 Rev. 6.1

Would turning POP off or any band off for that matter, increase the sensitivity on the other bands, due to the fact that the radar detector has less information to process with the band off?

sorry to hear about the self cal- thats just horrible luck. i was just curious how new your detector is and what revision it is. guys will escort cover the repair for free for him under the...

I asked a question about POP in another thread but due to the title i dont think its going to get a response, so i decided to start up a new thread that is POP specific. ok, i checked the sticky...

i do know for a fact that they use laser on the GSP (Garden State Parkway)

I have a few questions about POP/lidar in Jersey. First off, if any of you have encountered laser in NJ, what part of the state were you in? I looked in the state specific section of the forum and...

I just started using my new X50 last night. I have not had any LEO encounters yet, but I have driven past a couple falses, a store with automatic doors and a construction sign. I was not warned...

EDIT: Does it matter if you mount your detector to the right or left of the RVM? The reason I am asking this is because I want to mount my detector up high but the RVM is in the way. Also, should...

I read somewhere in this forum that the X50 can be damaged by heat. What about cold weather? Also, how cold and hot are we talking?

For any of you who use this RD and can remember, what is the best range you have gotten on an IO, and what band was the LEO using?

EDIT: I was actually aiming to ask, what is the best IO range...

so if you try to fight the ticket, how do they prove you were speeding?

It is my understanding that when using radar, it takes a LEO a couple seconds to get a reading on a car. My question is, if you get hit with instant-on does this mean you have 1-2 seconds to brake...

Hey thanks for the advice guys. I just placed an order for an 8500 X50 through Roy. I appreciate your help.

I just want to thank everyone for their help. I just placed an order for an 8500 X50. You guys helped me make an educated buy.

Hey guys I was looking to buy the red X50 from Roy. Does he carry the latest revision? I believe its the Rev. 1.6?
