Bel RX75 PLUS problems

**Horsie** · 11-01-2007, 04:38 AM

In my setting I've blocked Ka and X band.
Only K band is active.

I can't find any e-amil contact for Bel, to ask them.
The detector was mounted on my car on delivery, by the Mercedes Benz dealer.

Anyway.. my wife is the driver and for the moment is happy with a new car (toy).

I'm back again and I'm not happy (again) !

My wife was driving (I was the passenger).. 177 Km/h !

No signal from the detector.
In 10 minutes when the Police write us an speeding ticket (3 Km/h and bye, bye driving licence) they pulled over another 4 cars for speeding.

My detector was so.. MUTE, missing in action !

I've restarted the damn thing and I heard very noisy alarma K Band !!!

Thanks.. the Policeman was laughing at me... I'm stupid ? Such a car and such a "cheap" detector ?

Now I has in the Highway mode; no more Autoscan mode !
The detector was stuck !

In ~ 6 months I've heard him restarting for no reason about 3-4 times.
In my contry there are only K band radars with high emission power.
I can feel them from miles !

So.. is this a common problem ?

I'm not sure what the speed limit is where you are, but at those speeds, you need more than a RD. It does sound like your RD is malfunctioning though and needs to be serviced.

Horsie, what country do you live in? I want to move there

It sounds like its time to send in your RX75 Plus for repair.

I just got a rx75 pro and have had nothing but good results from it. It owns my x50 in every way possible, BUT my x50 is mounted behind the tint strip so I can't really compare correctly.

I like in Europe - Romania.

It will be fun to replace this ~ 1000 USD detector.
There are no real services here for Bel.
Only importers...

Mercedes Dealer will be "very happy" to change the thing

Horsie, for our US friends let's give some details: in our country the most radars are K-band MPH Python (I and II i guess), hooked to a video recorder.
This radars have no IO function (they made some contraptions to make them work IO but it was illegal, there were some "scandals" and now they are working mostly CO). The radar operators are mostly incompetent, so they are keeping the radars working "full blast", so, yes it is possible to detect them from a veeeery long range...

But...
1. Recently they began to understand the "range" setting on the radar and they began setting them facing forward.

2. (most important) We got some low-powered photo-radars (fixed GATSO, tripod GATSO and a car-mounted "version" of GATSO called Traffipax Speedophot). This ones are pretty challenging for detectors, the range is really small (even with top-notch detectors), maybe it was one of these who nailed you...

PS: and, BTW, I think 177km/h when (at best) the PSL is 110 is a little bit much, with a 2 ton car and on our crappy and full of villages roads...

It was an classical Python II. I saw the damn thing and that's written in the ticket.
My detector is broken...

They changed the interior unit and NOW is not working at all...

I'm not in the country for a week so...

This is not funny.

I've taken a video capture.
Today I've chaged the stupid unit

Code:

This is my second unit, that freezes sometimes.
You can see the green led, that means that the modular detector is not working in K band in that moment.
Now I have a new one, but I'll switch to Bel 975 LE if the new one will have the same problems.

I had a portable unit to probe my problems
