You don't get any signal strength bars when POP goes off, it just flashes the word POP for about 5 seconds and scares the crap out of you. I live in somewhat of a rural area myself and have had POP...

When I had my X50 I thought it picked up Ka better than the regular 8500...
P.S goofy173, you live in Elkhart so I know you gotta love what ND did to Pitt last night... :D
RX-65 saved my behind 7 times this past Saturday. It will take of ya... :wink:
I don't know if either does or not. I live in VA and have used a RD for years and haven't been busted yet... :D
They can definately pull you over in VA. I was driving one day and a state trooper was turning around in the median to come on my side of the road. Luckily, I saw him in time to pull my RD down as...
I had an X50, sold it and got a RX65. Both give me almost the exact same warning time. I personally like the X50 better but just for cosmetic reasons. I'm sticking with the RX65 because of the...
How about Circuit City or BestBuy? I don't know their return policy but I'd check there...
I've never ran into an officer using X band but I would strongly urge you to turn the K back on...
You can have your detector the next day if you want to pay for the shipping. As far as which one to get, I've owned both and they are essentially the same. The good thing about the RX65 is that it...
I think it would be in your best interest to go with the X50 because it does give you a little more warning time with KA. You may want to consider getting a BEL RX65. IMO the X50 and RX65 give you...
The detector is mounted just above my VA state inspection sticker which means it's about 4-5'' from the bottom of the windshield. It was about 8:15 pm so it was just starting to darken outside. ...
I would think this is a strange question if it wasn't for a couple of episodes that happened to me. I've got a Motorola V180 and was driving last Wednesday when it rang. As soon as I picked it up...
Has anyone ever heard of Sirius setting a RD off? I've got one and the RD is mounted right beside the receiver. I've never had an alert when using both...
I live in VA and run my RD at least 3 times weekly on my way to work which is about 1 3/4 hours each way. It's mounted low and right beside my Sirius radio that's also stuck to the window. Get used...
Is that a good thing???
I"ve run the RX65 for close to 2 weeks and it still scares me because it's so quiet but I'm getting used to it. I treat it like E.F. Hutton: When it talks, I listen...
My significant other doesn't know that I have a RD anymore. Years ago she was driving to college with my Uniden which was VG2 undetectable and she got pulled over by a VA state trooper who said that...
I've noticed that several of you mount your detectors in the corner of your windshields. My question is do you think you lose any alert time vs. having it low and in the center? I've always had...
I've used both and haven't really been able to tell much difference. IMO the BEL may pick up KA a little faster but you can't go wrong with either unit... :)
I asked them once about a KU software update if and when it is needed and received a response that didn't give an amount as to how much it would cost to update...J
As a resident of the wonderful Commonwealth of VA I just mount mine right beside my Sirius satellite radio receiver. But just the other day I almost got busted. I was going down the road and saw a...
The first X50 I had didn't work right. At first when I turned it on all seemed well and I drove to work and went by places that I knew would set the RD off as I had an 8500 before this one and it...
I just started using it today after using the 8500 for over a year. I rode by places that I know set the X50 off and the RX65 went off but it didn't alert as fast. I'm wondering if this is a good...
I've also experienced this heart-pounding event and am seriously considering keeping an extra pair of underwear in the car because if it happens again I may soil myself... :oops:
Forgive me if there's info on this unit already posted but does anybody have any info on it? I tend to be skeptical with any RMR product... :wink:
