RX65 Error code

BEL does not stand behind their products.

But how come the X50s are so much more reliable than the RX65s? Aren't Bel/Escort products made in the same factory now?

Wow and I just bought a RX65.....does the error code affect a specific version or is it random?

Seriously thinking about selling it and spend extra for a V1 if the reliability is so poor

Yes its true that Bel and Escort are the same company now but both brand names are still around and the Bel detectors are going to act like they always did before Escort and Bel became one company.

yeh, you bought from a internet dealer instead of a authorized dealer or else all you would be paying is the postage. its not their fault you bought somewhere else. ive owned bel products for years and only once did i ever have a error message on my old 985 and they took it right away and gave me the new 995 instead of fixing the 985, which was really cool of them. shop wiser.

wasn't cover under warranty since I got it at Inet Distributors.

Inet Distributors are Escort's and Beltronics worst nightmare. They have been trying to shut them down for months. This is one of the companies that has been buying the their detectors from overseas suppliers and selling as new on Ebay.

We should try to find common ground here to maybe find WHY the BEL detectors do this.

As far as I know, it is NORMAL for it to display some sort of Self-Cal when the LO freq is out of whack, then works fine. Apparently this isn't always the case. Few questions for Self-Cal People.

1) Do you leave your detector in the sun or is it exposed to the sun when in the mounted position? When it "Self-Cal"s, do you touch it to see if its hot/very warm?

2) Do you leave it on when you start the car?

Any other odd observations??

I had a weird error occurance yesterday, I was playing with my settings, IE: turning on pop and changing ka from int to USA. when I got done, the rd reset out of the program mode shortly after I got a self cal 2 and then service required started blinking constantly, I turned the detector off and back on. system check ok and works fine again..

I know it works, I picked up a state leo on hyway 218 from about a mile away, turning on and off for cars passing him.

Has anyone had this experience with error after playing with settings?
