I have my first confirmed laser hit in Indiana. I was travelling I-69 near Ft. Wayne. I saw the LEO standing next to his car, pointing the gun back down the interstate. I had no detection on my X50....
I used a Dremel tool with a really small grinding stone to make it the right size. There wasn't any good way to drill it without cracking it.
I didn't want to do the permanent install because I...
I hated having to reach up to shut off the X50 and I didn't want to slide the lighter adapter in and out of the outlet so I opened the lighter plug and there's just enough room to put a switch inside...
If the laser ain't hittin' ya, then it's gotta be darn close to trip the X50, or any laser detector for that matter. I've seen LEO's pointing laser guns nearby me and my X50 didn't detect. Actually,...
When I get a K-band from a sign, I can always see the sign. I'd say that I get detects on my X50 at about 1/4 to 1/2 mile max. and my detector is around 6 ft. off the ground so it's quite a bit...
Heard this on NPR this morning. Maybe it's old news.

I think others were saying $75 and no, they won't give you 6.0 because it's a hardware change. At least that's what I've read on here.
Maybe someone has already reported this. I haven't seen it. It was on NPR this morning, 10/4/06. The guns cost only $600 and Oregon is giving out $240 tickets. IMHO, this is a good use of a laser...
I wonder if he'll have any bullets.
This is easy to do. First get out your Smith Chart.

uh...

Got it?

um

Don't know about Smith Charts?

But they don't. I bought a detector off of Ebay several years ago and they thru in a Phazer. Obvious why they thru it in for free, cause it was worthless. There was a speed sign a mile away and I...
Their security system is probably giving the K. I have to go through an intersection with a Walgreens and 2 convenience/gas stations and I get 2 K's and 3 X's while sitting at the light.
The Louisville airport seems to be the worst one I've ever encountered. Probably has to do with it being right there, next to the highway.
The 3 times I've been ripped off on Ebay were all from 100% positive sellers. I consider anyone over 98% now.
POP off. After running 1000 miles a weekend last year for 8 months, I just couldn't handle all the falses.
I like my X50, but as far as filtering, I disagree. It falses on X and K just as much as my old Whistlers. I've had to turn off POP and Laser because it falses a lot, especially on POP. However, I'm...
Each state is different. I had one in Columbia City, IN tell me he didn't have his radar on, but still could write me one for speeding. I don't know if he was full of it or what but since he didn't...
What's wrong with buying off Ebay? If you're careful, ask the right questions, and do your homework there shouldn't be a problem. I bought my X50 from Ebay a year ago. No problems. Even if I would...
Is this a testament to how bad Cobras leak or that radar detector manufacturers aren't making better filters? That's why I bought an 8500 X50: because I thought I'd get less falses, but instead they...
You guys can put down the cheapo detectors all you want but guess what? Most do work. You want to justify what you paid for your 8500 or V1. I have an X50 but I've had lots of cobras and whistlers...
True. The Escort must be in a clean environment to power on properly. You may or may not get away with it. My neighbor used to be a deputy and I always had problems so I just left it powered up and...
I frequently have to park within 50 yards of a Verizon tower and I don't get any falses on it.
As of 9/2006, ISP still had X. I travelled I57 From I80 to Carbondale every weekend from 2/06 to 9/06 and had real X hits all the time.
It's against Ebay's rules but I don't think they enforce it. Basically they are bypassing Ebay fees as sellers don't have to pay fees on Shipping charges. I dont' think Ebay has enough personnel to...
