    Default just ordered a pro65

    Well, i did it. researched for weeks (why? who knows) but ended up with a Bel pro65 after learning about their trade up program. I hope i made the right decision.

    any opinions on this unit? mostly run into k ka and laser in Wisconsin.

    Welcome to the forum. Great choice with the RX65. Awesome Ka band detection. Great K band detection. Poor laser detection. If laser is an issue I would highly suggest a jamer

    Just a few tips that you might like to know, I don't know what is your experince with RDs. The best thing to do when driving in the city is to look for the places where you'll have a false alert normally from door openers, so you can drive more confortable with pushing the brakes too much like crazy dude like I used to my first 2-3 days lol Also whether or not you should disable or filter more X band, depending from where you live.

    Hope you like your new RX65 I'm sure you made a very good choice it is an excellent Ka detector but not an awesome Laser Detector "compared" to the other top 3/4

    I have been using it for the past two days. Couple of things i noticed;

    1. quiet.. not many falses compared to my old bel
    2. love the auto mute
    3. seems to pick up radar just fine
    4. the size and sleek appearance are just so much nicer then the others. the X50 is long and the v1 is ugly. I know, who cares, but size does matter.

    i wish i could have found more info about it on the web. I could find tons of info on the V1 and the passport but not a whole lot on the rx65? any ideas why? is it not that popular or just too new and no one has much experience with them?

    it was hard to pass up the price with my trade in. Basically got it for $250 after i send my old one back. Here in WI we have laser, K and KA. I really need the best range detector i can get. I would have went V1 for it's laser capability, but then again, if it goes off, generally you are getting a ticket at that point so i couldn't justify it.

    please tell me if i went the wrong way on this purchase. i have 30 days to return it for a x50 or v1.

    is the x50 better then the bel? from the posts here, it seems the v1 is better then both.
