    Default RX55 Question

    I just bought a RX55 second hand for $220NZD which is half its retail price of $500, the unit is only 4 months old.

    the question i have is: is it possible to disable K band? in NZ we dont use anything except Ka and Laser.

    Would running City Mode decrease my Ka sensitivity?

    According to Roys website this unit has a tech display, but i dont know how to access it, does anyone know how to do it?

    Thanks

    Do you have the RX 65 or 55? For the RX 55, I hate to tell you is not the best performer in the Bel line. Anyway, you can not disable K on any detector, including this model, only X can be disabled on the higher end models like the RX 65, not the RX 55. I am not sure how many city modes are on the RX55 off hand, but typically city mode will not reduce the sensitivity on Ka. And finally if in deed it is an RX 55 there is no Tech mode, only the RX 65 has it.

    If you need selectable bands, you will have to go with a different detector, sorry.

    can't believe the retail on a new RX55 is $500NZD. I just looked on a NZ website (don't know if i can post external links or not so i won't) but on that particular website it lists retail prices for 8500X50 at $518NZD and RX65 at $480NZD.

    $500NZD sure seems high for an older, inferior performing unit.

    its 500 from a authorized dealer.

    your looking at about $700NZD for an X50.

    if it was trademe thats an auction site.

    we have GST over here which is tax @ 12.5 %. not sure about the US with their tax system, its not included in the price?

    i did the conversion from US to NZ from radar roy and a RX65 is like $418NZD.

    problem over here is there arent many authorised dealers so the market is small. i know of 2 authorised dealers in NZ, mainstream ones anyway.

    omfg yes, cant believe i used that piece of crap for so long.
    videoing me running it over with my car and emailing a copy to RMR showing them what i think of their product.

    it only save me once, but i wasnt speeding so i dont know if that counts; better than nothing though.

    the RX55 kicks the RMRs ass despite, the only problem with the 55 is it false alerts since K band cant be turned off.

    just found the website i think you were talking about. Radar2Go?, thats a site that has been banned by Bel, they operate on an auction site principle.

    Ok, settle down bunnyboy, K can be disabled on the RX65, but he has the RX 55 anyway.
