Pro 55 vs Pro 65 differences?

[karl56]

What are the design differences between Pro 55 & 65?
Read that they were not similiar in antenna which resulted in Pro 55 being inferior.

Did Bel screw up with Pro 55?

The RX55 is based on the "M2" platform, like the 7500S, BEL Express, etc etc.

The RX65 is based on the "M4" platform, like the 8500 X50, 9500i, and Vectors.

I don't think BEL screwed up the RX55, since it's cheaper perhaps it appeals to a different market than the others.

What I find interesting is the RX55 and 65 were released as new models at the same time. IIRC, the RX55 was always marketed as one step below the 65, having the same sensitivity, but less features. It was slightly less expensive as the 65. I would have thought they would have been built on the same platform instead of older M2.

I wonder if the older M2 platform is cheaper to manufacture compared to the M4 platform. Regardless, I would pick a Vector V995 over the RX-55.

RX55 is JUNK RX65 is good
