I'm a bit concerned with how it will sit on the visor clip ... like if it won't be optimally aligned. I guess only time will tell. I think it should probably be in my mail box this afternoon

Thanks everybody for your input! For $4 I guess I'll try the visor clip mount. If it sucks, I will get the mirror mount for $40
Guys,
My Escort 8500 has been idle for some months because my suction cup mount sucks especially in the brutal cold Michigan winter.
I have seen some posts before about a mirror mount and it...
I live up here in Michigan where it has recently gotten bitter cold. The left and only the left suction cup will NOT stay on my windshield right now, and at the moment I don't even have my RD...
Thanks man. I figured it was probably a PL-III or something similar but the 7 threw me. Too bad we live in Michigan where your rights are crapped all over in favor of the system (Civil cases for...
A friend received a ticket he wishes to fight. The only detection method listed is the cops horrible penciled in handwriting resembling "PL07". I don't know what device that could be, unless it is...
I'd like to report something significant. A while ago I posted an update saying the Ka along 696 had really cooled off. Prior to that I had gone out on a field test, and posted about the 900Mhz...
Yeah, the dead people can no longer pay the traffic tax lol
pretty interesting

Radar traffic along I-696, both directions between Southfield and Warren appears to have stopped. For the past few weeks I have gone to and from work (I-696 between Dequindre and Lahser) without...
I live in the Detroit area, so there were times in my good old young single days when I would travel over to Windsor to party...I remember a few times at the border the border patrol being kind...
My Escort 8500 x50 says on the bottom it was made in Canada. I can't help but find this funny since they are illegal to use in Canada

Did you buy it new? If so, it should have come with the instruction booklet and EZ programming guide. It's a very simple to operate, and will take you 10 minutes to read through the manual. All...
Driving back up to Detroit from Ohio last night on I-75N. My x50 is mounted high above my RVM in my pos car ('95 acclaim) so it's as high as it can be...was traveling at the PSL in the far right...
Interesting how you would know what speed somebody else was clocked at
Just for the record I have never received service required or anything like that, just the one time that I know of that it lagged. I hope that is not around the corner. I am thinking of getting...
I would really appreciate it if you could report back here what you find out from escort on that. Thanks man!
I also have been running fast startup for some time and it does not seem to effect performance. I guess the only reason NOT to have it on is if you need a constant reminder what bands you have on
...
you think I should just monitor and see how it goes or should I send it in to escort for the $59.99 special? I've never noticed that before, or anytime today.

After being on this board for a while, I've followed the advice of many people here and turned off POP. However, I believe I was genuinely hit with POP on I75 S in Ohio before I turned it off. I...
Tonight I was on my way somewhere when I happened to notice I was at a stop light right in front of a CVS and my detector was doing nothing. I looked up and noticed my scan dots seemed to be...
I got pulled over back in the day when I had my $99 Whistler detector (not sure what model it was but was actually pretty decent, looking back it must have been laser or IO hit) , driving a regular...
Not that it appears anybody cares, but the Ka at Bermuda seems to have magically vanished....coincedentally it vanished the night after I went inspecting that weird yagi antenna

Welcome aboard. I myself live in Warren, and have a passport 8500 x50. Honestly, it is a pretty good detector but there are a LOT of radar based door systems at stores and such in this metro area...
Welcome! I live right down the road in Warren, MI...very close to Madison Heights. Maybe I should turn POP back on..hmmmm. Have you noticed, or do you receive crazy K and Ka hits along the 696...
