Is it like the 9500ix?

Is it like the 9500ix?

I have always thought the the 9500ix internally is virtually identical to a 9500i except for a different main circuit board. The internals of your new GX65 however are completely different than a 9500i. Wow! The GX65 is a completely new design.

The M4 antenna casting is slightly different. I wonder if Bel/Escort has tweaked the M4 antenna horn design? The entire motherboard plus the laser detection circuitry is completely new. I notice that the speaker appears to be mounted in a form fitting rubber gasket? And I am wondering about the thin stamped sheet metal cover over the left portion of the motherboard. Perhaps it serves as a ground plane underneath the GPS antenna to boost the GPS antenna's performance by blocking RF from the main circuit board electronics?

Thanks a million for posting those photos! Now I just have to get a GX65.

I've only used it a very short time and have noticed it is a K band MONSTER!!! We have a couple k band signs here in town and I got alerts at least 1/4 mile farther than my 9500i.

Has anyone ever taken their RD apart and had it not work when they put it back together? I fiddle sometimes, but admit it may not be a smart idea.

Many people take them apart..If they know what they are doing!

I've seen the pics. I am sure many people do (I have) , just wondering if there are any horror stories of botched jobs.

[BlinderGuy]

I dont think anyone would admit to it!

Hardy you are a brave man. So according to Mem it is totally different, but still a version of the M4 right?

Mem a quick note, remember you are comparing it to the 9500i and not ix, so it might have more in common with the ix than the i.
