See the point of this was that Escort told me it was fine and they wouldn't recommend sending it in. The only reason I contacted them was to send it in for a tune up!

Anyways, K band works...

Which part are you failing to read? I called Escort and they told me they wouldn't recommend sending it in because it didn't sound broken on Ka. This is Escort physically telling me to NOT send it...

That means absolutely nothing. It wasn't from some punk kid in a riced out honda, it was from and old guy, still mint condition in it's case and original box with original receipt.

If I can get...

Escort being sold, going to a trusty Whistler!

I bought an 8500 X50 from someone on Craigslist for $50 (Good deal), after using it a few days something wasn't right.

Cops running Constant On would be picked up right before I saw them, radar...

Yeah it works, I had a save from a ticket the other day, hit rabbit with I/O doing about 60 in a 45 and. Had another long range hit with C/O.

To be honest, I don't really like the Escort, I may...

Yeah, the speed signs here are K and I think K works fine as I can find every walmart and walgreens. I've been away from this area for 3 years and maybe they aren't running the same stuff. Last time...

Back again, had some iffy test results tonight. A few Ka bursts, but nothing really long range. I had a laser hit, but I think it was something weird being only 100ft from one of those massive...

$115 is still a good deal!

50 bucks certainly is a good deal for the 8500 x50! I wish I found that one. I'd love to test it along with my STI-R and see what the hype is about.[/QUOTE]

I tested it a bit tonight with some...

Last night I got my new 8500 X50 and I had pop on. A few times when I was driving I got a POP alert with no cops in sight. Should I just turn it off? I remember reading that only a few places in the...

I picked a mint condition 8500 X50 up from some old guy on craigslist. $50! What a steal :D

Now I have to get a Whistler 78SE and test both out whenever I get some money for it.

I used to own a Pro 78 and it was absolutely the best thing ever. I sold it a few years ago and now that I'm back in an area with Ka I'd like to get another whistler but am limited on funds.

I'm...

Arizona cops this weekend are randomly pulling over cars and running 35.5 Ka. Some are running 34.7 but I picked up 35.5. Seems like they're hitting certain streets like Oracle north of River in...

The only thing I've picked up are walgreens and the AFB which sends off a false laser alert at the same place every time. I might go buy a 9500ix tonight to see how that stands up to the red light...

Oh, you were talking about right turn lanes.

Well, you have to remember that Tucson is a very old place - some say it's the longest continually-inhabited place in North America. Many of the...

My buddy had a E36 M3 and he had a Cobra in it. He's like "dude, this thing rocks, I've never gotten a ticket and it warns me everytime!"

I saw it in action and it did work when he was blowing...

Which street is this??[/QUOTE]

I don't remember, I'm new to Tucson so I don't know my way around much.[/quote]

Lucky you.

Is the ice broken yet? :)

Yes, they suck. I had a Pro 78 in phoenix and it picked the vans up AFTER we passed them.

I've noticed in Arizona, cops don't use K/Ka at all. They use laser, or simply they aren't out patrolling the streets with radar. I saw a cop on a bike the other day shooting radar or laser, but I...

Might have been Tanque Verde & Kolb

Nope, that was the fiancee. I made sure she was ok, then went to take a picture of the damage and the location in the road if needed for insurance/investigation purposes. I went back over as quickly...

Well see, she was blamed for it. There was no turn lane on that street and it's the ONLY road in Tucson that doesn't have a dedicated turn lane. Therefore, she thought the farthest over lane that...

Here's the car :eek:

A few weeks ago I was in a car crash. I only had a Geo Metro that was my fiancees, so I saw no reason for a radar detector since I couldn't even make it up to the speed limit.

Anyways, we were...
