Just wondering what the difference between these guys are, they are nearly the same price, and the Vector 995 is the same price as the Escort 8500 X50.

Does the Vector stand up to those two?

Couple differences

1: The 995 does not have a hard travel case
2: Bel reps tell me that they are the same detector, but during testing side by side, the RX65 had better filtering

Team, I have a " :?: Q :?:"

How long has the RX65 been on the market? When did it 1st hit the streets? I ask this because from 20SEP01 to 10MAY03 I was over in the sandbox (the Middle East) and lost track on what was happening in the real world.

So, this IS fairly new tech. Roy, do you have visibility or a way of finding out the history of returns and/or common problems that prompted the returns?

The 1st batch of RX65 had some problems and we had allot of returns. Bell identified the problem

Now our biggest return problem is wives, finding out that their husband just spent the money on a detector

I almost made headline news when my wife found out that I spent nearly $500 for the V1 and all of the accesories. She nearly murdered me

Accuse me for laughing but that would be a real funny story..

" Man's wife beats him to death with new radar detector he just purchased.." :lol:


see that's why you don't ever want to buy a V1 with the metal case it has...! :shock:

Does the 995 cover all bands of radar including International? cause isn't there a band that USA Ka detectors can't detect
Roy you say it's an international detector, so i hope so.

Specifically i wanna make sure the 995 picks up 'Dual Stalker Ka band'

Does this unit does as well as the RX 65 does with pop detection also I too would like to know about the dual stalker Ka band?

Basically Bel came out with this Accusweep USA setting... that ignores much of the Ka spectrum. Set to "international" it scans full Ka band like normal units, so it will pick up any Ka source.

The 995 does not have the multiple threat display (I think) and I know it doesn't have the USA/INTL setting for Ka, it scans the entire Ka band as the RX65 does on the INTL setting.

Hey Roy, how would we know if one of our radars are the 1st batches of the rx65?

Have no idea, when did you purchase them?

You may try calling Bel, ask for Chad, give him the serial number and he maybe able to tell you
