    Re: Just got Escort for Motorcycle

    I've used Powerlet wiring in the past with real good results. Whether you're going hard-wiring or going to a BMW-style socket for the 12v, I've been real pealsed with Powerlet's stuff. You can...

    I'm not aware of a jurisdiction in the US in which the officer has to show the speed on the radar gun. Plus, if an officer is going to be dishonest, they could just leave some speed lock on the...

    Re: Phoenix/Scottsdale Help!

    The mighty V1 is very good. Very good indeed. It's very sensitive to get signals from far away and it'll alert at the weakest signals. If I'm driving to Globe, Safford, Tombstone, Payson, Sedona,...

    Re: What to get?

    These are all great choices...none of them suck:
    * Vector (they all have the same raw-performance, but the 955 is a good value-choice for turning off X-band)
    * Pro 78SE
    * 695SE
    * Escort 8500

    The design of the PRO-300 and the RX65(M4) are "about the same." Actually, much more than "about the same," it's the same hardware with slight differences that we know about at this time:

    Re: Upgrading Bel 870 to Bel V8

    The V8 is an M4-based 955...which is to say...it's good. But don't buy into Bel's 6x/8x/10x marketing-hooey...a properly working M4 performs at basically the same level as another M4.

    But at $229,...

    Re: Just moved to Arizona - anything I need to know?

    Most all of the Phoenix-area speedcams that are in a fixed location are embedded induction wires in the roadway. With those, a GPS-based RD (9500-series, GX65/PRO-500) are the way to go unless you...

    Re: does the sti-magnum ...?

    STi Mag doesn't have BS like the STiR+. But it's a hairy-chested M3 with better performance than the M4.

    The RX65/PRO-300 is an M4...so it's good, but not quite like the M3. The current...

    Re: $50 amazon detectors

    Sub-$100 detectors are unfortunately quite dismal at being useful. Some perform in the 10-20 percentile range...that's a big fail to be trusting.

    Bel's GX65/PRO-500 has the same dimensions as the 9500ix.

    Differences include:

    * lack of Autolearn on the Bel (figure if that's worth the extra money...
