    I need to get a new detector before I spend the money elsewhere..

    I was all set to buy a Pro 73 Whistler cause I hear their service is great and warranty is good to but I kind of want the new Bel to.

    My current rd is a Whistler and before that was a Bel and I hated the bel but I think they have come a long way since then.

    I haven't had a speeding ticket in 16yrs so I am thinking its my turn soon
    Except for a few more features on the Bel Rx65 version 2.9 there aren't much difference between the two. I tested both units seperately against my Kustom HR 12 K band and Stalker Ka radar guns. My Bel 995 went off first when coming around bends. The Bel 995 also seem to respond faster to instant on burst. Bel 995 seems to be as sensitive as Bel RX65 on Ka band and slightly better sensitivity on K band. Bel 995 weighs more then Bel RX65. Another thing have noticed that the Bel RX 65 signal stregth meter will not always go all the way up and Bel 995 meter did in all of the testing I did. Both units will serve you well.

    If you don't care about having no warranty you can find the Bel RX65 version 2.9 for $199.00 + Shipping. Even if you have to send it in for service it's still cheaper.

    Great info! My guess is the RX65 and 995 use the same circuit board. However, the info on the signal strength meter and responsiveness of the 995 having an edge is very interesting. I also found the faceplate on the newer 995's are glued in place.

    2) you can set the RX65 to scan only USA frequencies(34.7, 35.5 and 33. which is for improved range. Or you can set it to international and laert to all KA guns, and the BEL v995 is always in international KA-mode
    I checked the RX65 manual, and while it lists the international feature, it says nothing about how to use it. Interesting.

    Old tread but still decent radar detectors ten years later, have a hot 995 out performs my Bel RX65 most of the time on Ka. Beltronics Vector 999 is an Escort X50 in drag.
