Thinking of Trying a RX65

I was thinking about trying an RX65, how would you guys compair it to a 8500 X50. I currently own an X50 and was wanting to see if I would like the RX65 better. Thanks

I would say they are very similar detectors (along with what most everyone will say), the general feeling is the X50 has better K band (the most widely used band), but the RX65 has better (Ka... the hardest to detect)... so its a trade off... many people like the X50's mutli-threat display better, simply because it can display mutliple threats.... other then that they are pretty darn close as far as features... (other then blue displays on the X50's).

Personally (because they are so similar) I wouldnt get the RX65 if I had an X50, or vise versa if I owned a RX65.

Thanks for the info.... I think I will take your advice and stick with my X50. I love my muti-thread display and would hate to give that up..... thanks again

I've a better deal. My RX65 is almost 2 years old. That means it's "tested." Tradeya.

Man I'll tell you I love my X65........i have a V1, and an X65 and in my opinion the X65 is a lot more user friendly and has a hell of a lot better Ka band detection than the V1.

The RX65 should be a good unit.

Can't the RX65 display multiple threats too? I think Threat mode does that.

it'll detect multiple bands, so long as they're different.

X, K, Ka, Laser

one of each. So if you run into a similar situation that I did today where a LEO was hiding under the cover of another source you'd have to watch for ramping patterns.
