RX-65 Weak on K band

[rocky2]

I was running my RX-65 today for a change of pace. And I noticed that it does pretty good against X band and Ka band. But against my normal K band false locations the RX-65 seems to really lag behind where my other RD's alert even my 9500ix and 8500x50. I can understand it not being as good as the V1/Redline but I would think it would be about the same on K band as the 9500ix/8500x50. Anybody else notice that K band is lacking on their RX-65?

My M4 RX65 lags on K band compared to my V1 and S7 X50.

It's decent on Ka, and I run with X off. If you're in an area where K isn't used, it's a great detector to use.

Are the LEO's in your area actually using X?

Lately I have been running both STi R and a RX65 testing the STi R against the known performance of the RX65. In K band the RX65 is about 2-4 seconds behind the STi R, both providing plenty of warning with CO.

Yes the county Police still use X band quite a bit. I have heard of some other IN counties using X band also. If your ever in Indiana turn X band ON.

The RX-65 has the M4 platform, does it not? That's the same as what the 8500x50 and the 9500ix uses. If that's the case, wouldn't there be a possibility that your detector may need to be sent in?

Thats what I was thinking. I thought the performance should be really similar to the 9500ix.

Isn't the 9500ix the same as the STi R ?

It isn't, the STI-R uses the M3 platform, which is belscort's most sensitive platform. The RX-65 is the M4 platform, which is shared by the 9500ix and the 8500x50.

Other than a redline, what is the top of the line Escort?

[Divewjason]

^That would be the Escort 9500ci which is a remote mount radar detector. Also, the bel STI-R shares the same platform as both the Redline and the 9500ci.
