RX65 case question

**swifty** · 10-21-2005, 06:53 PM

Noticed my new RX65 [which is quickly proving how much better it is than my RX55] has the printed 'RX65' logo on the detector itself in black, whereas on the packaging the text is blue, a Google image search shows units with blue logo. What colour is everyone elses? The packaging also says 'new titanium finish', tho I suspect they all say this [?]

Mine had the black lettering too.

Yeah, but it's just the writing on the case that's black. The case itself is still silver/grey/titanium/whatever.

I prefer it to the dull matte black of the RX55, atho they look they'd be interchangeable.

Black on mine.

Black on mine as well. I expected it to be blue but it wasnt.

Hmmm. I wonder if they did anything else to the RD internally, or just changed the text colour/color. Perhaps it coincided with the latest firmware version.

Ah, cheers guys. Was worried mine was a black sheep [or something]. No sheep jokes from the Aussies please. :twisted:

Hey PhilNZ, have you noticed a lot of low-powered Ka around here? Like they have it in standby or low power mode or something? Mine never gets to full alert when passing highway patrol doing this.

hey mate
try tech mode and you will get to see what freq your hits are
stalker dual = 34.7
cameras 34.6
but yes dont seem to ever get a full alert
have asked the question can they be turned down and have been told no
all tests in usa have a 2 mile test range and 65 gets signal of about 2 bars(see sml speed zones test or roy has results also
ive never had a longer hit than 1.6km head on with the cops on the hwy (not alot of time if both doing 100km or more head on)
but mainly get less than that norm 800m-1.2
think usa results done in desert dry and fine weather
those hits i had with camera was fine days also so think that has alot to do with it
am waiting to come across cop on way to hamilton on the straights to see if it gets any better
had a mates x50 last yr and got 2.5 k warning for a cop on side of rd

any other questions give me a ring
