GX65

[porky786]

I dont have the redlight, gps devices, they are nice and that was a dissapointment.

Put the M3 antenna in those and you got Dynomite IMO

Its the difference between barely adaequte and very adaquate in many cases on actual detection IMO regardless of what Bel says all their detectors are the same

Just today, I got Full bar alert on my motorcycle, I doublle flashed the brake at the rear vehicle, cause quite frankly I didnt know how fast I was going or the limit, couldnt see anything, then highway patrol oncoming came by.


I see times where sti is similar to GX, But overall STI has Outperformed thus far.


I think sometimes, was there something in the mounting that I failed(in my truck), but they were both mounted the same way on the bike, and still STI is the better detector from real time use. I feel the Lazer ablity is not great though , ive never gotten an alert and pretty sure I've been hit atleast 3 times.

However, my motorcycle is the real test on the Lazer, its mounted perfectly to be easily hit, atleast I hope.

Angle the front (antenna end) of your GX65 eight degrees downward. You should see an increase in performance.

Topic: Arrows. I really like the arrow on the GX65 for red light cameras. Why doesnt Beltronics use the same arrow for radar detection too? It would be a big help. Thoughts?. It would be more usefull than than VI arrows.

Valentine has a patent for using arrows to indicate where a received radar signal is coming from. This patent is expected to expire in a couple of years.

Thanks- good info.

Yesterday I ordered the GX65 and it has already been shipped. I have two questions.
1. Do those of you who have this model run it on autoscan, autoscanox or highway?
2. Do you keep voice alerts turned on or off?

Any other useful tips or settings would be appreciated.

I have been using Highway with voice on here in Delaware no X. IS there a real difference between Autoscan and Highway mode? Thanks

I went from autoscan to highway mode after a day or two so it is hard to say if there was a difference.

Anyone know how the GX65 compares with the Escort 9500ix?

Both should have virtually identical performance, but neither has been tested yet by GOL.

Hmmm. It would be very beneficial if someone with some expertise would do performance comparisons between the GX65 and 9500ix and I think Cobra makes a GPS RD too - Comparing opertional effectiveness and all the GPS functions.

I went with the 9500ix mostly based on info from here and other sources. One issue with the GX65 I read somewhere was difficulties in getting database updates.

I am happy with the 9500ix but am still interested in learning more about the GX65.

Anyone here have any experience with both the GX65 and the 9500ix?

Thanks.

The updates were not happening for the GX65 until I started *****ing, emailing and calling them every week for a month or two. It was supposed to be once a month.........and now its once a week!!!!!!!!

I got 5 database updates in the month of March alone.

I guess they just moved the updates to Tuesdays.
