There are going to be 2 Spectre II's there...
The Spectre III is only slightly more sensitive than the II, and the IV, and IV+ aren't really much more sensitive than the III at all, the only major thing they did with that is they put an external horn on, and put in a mute switch, as all the external horn did obviously is make it false more.
The Spectre II, can still pick up most detectors at 1,000ft plus.
NMA is going to have a 9500i there?
Is it an ix? No, although the only "Major" difference i've seen in reading about the i vs ix is that the ix is more "automatic" and actually "takes" functions away from the user? Personally the 9500i I think gives the user more options on the lockout options. Where the ix simply locks things out "Automatically" and that feature can't even be turned off? If I had to choose if buying one, or the other? I'd buy a i not an ix. Although thats just me i wana have the most controll i can.
The Gx-65 who know's somebody might show up with one, I almost bought one myself about a week ago, although I changed my mind when i took a good look at it, and it looked so much like a Rx-65, and we all know how well that preform's on IO?? Just a tad of sarcasim there, needless to say i was not impressed with it at last years event.
We also all know that the 9500i/ix was initally built on the x-50's main board. The only thing escort radar did was add the gps chip board. WHich is why it is starteling that the 9500i is actually a weaker preformer than the x-50 since they simply used the x-50's chip board for the 9500i. If you open up your 9500i you will see x-50 on the chip board. Ironic how that works? Which leads me to beleive they did the same thing with the gx-65 since there are not really any major changes in bands or even in the receiver. Which tells me all they did is the same they did with the 9500i when it first came out. They simply gave the rx-65 bold new graphics and added a gps chip. Woopdee woo... Then they placed a 500 dollar price tag on it, and then I guess it then became the next best thing.
Would I enjoy to see one, ya, sure. If somebody has one bring it. Although, am i going to be upset if i don't? Not entirely. I personally beleive the STi Driver will walk all over it. Maybe if they would have made the GX-65 spectre immune it would mean more to me, the same goes for the 9500ix. The big talk was that they were going to make an immune escort when the 9500i was to come out, but yet they still have left that out of the ballpark? I am still asking questions to myself even as of why? As Escort own's beltronics, and beltronics was the first to come out with a immune to spectre unit? This much I don't understand? Also the only unit that esocrt offers is the 9500ci? Which has had numerous complaints of an overheating issue which causes gps failures.
I'm very curious why the new 9500ix they didn't choose to truely "Improve" the 9500i and make the 9500ix spectre IV+ immune? That would mean alot more to me and then maybe be worth paying the 500 dollars. Untill then, the x-50 works just great, and honestly at most times outpreforms the 9500i from what i've seen. Infact the first month the 9500i was out there where hundreds of them sent back on this forum alone. As people were just simply not impressed, especially when their x-50's where still walking all over a "New" realease? Hence I myself never joined the bandwagon of 9500i and most likely won't untill they decide to make the upgrade an "improvment" and worth what they charge.

The Eagle Talon will not be at this upcoming event all the other gun's will we will still have 35.5Ghz ka there, as I still have the Golden Eagle Ka.
Working on getting a Talon II is why.;)

^^ I really wish we could have something like this in my area (central NY, southern tier) :(
Anyone around here wanna do some testing?
If obama gets elected and passes that stimulus package, hopefully he does, i've been hoping to get out to NY, as I used to live there, and I honestly miss it. So maybe i'll be out your way in the future upstatedoc. Eventually, when i get funds again and am not unemployed I will most likely be taking a trip out that way. Too bad you can't make it, vaughn is flying in from Cali with the Stalker DSR 2x. Maybe someday i'll get the chance and link up with ya, as I said I hope I get the chance to come out to NY again I miss upstate NY. Syracuse/watertown area.;)
Used to live in Watertown Ny.
By the way doctor House is hillarious! Also the videotography/editing on that show rocks!

Just looked at the forecast for Nov 15, they are saying occasional rain with a high of about 48. There still is a lot of time for it to change but be prepared for rain or snow either way.
never trust the 14 day forcast. When we get to the 3 day forcast, then I'll have more faith. :)
Ya, i've found around here they are typically off on that 14 day forcast by about 3 days. Typically.
So i'm betting it will be sunny then good :).
If it does flurry which it normally doesn't here untill a week after opening day of deer season, we have the trailer W/heat. Not a big worry. Also we have the pushup overhead cover. So not a huge concern.;)

Ok, I plan on coming to the event unless my small car quits on me. I do feel bad my X50 will not be at the event because it has been sent back to Escort for yet another tuneup since the last one wasn't done correctly. At least we will have Alpine's X50 to cover for mine not being there.:( We are looking forward to seeing as many people there as possible.:D
Yes, my x-50 will be there, i'm running the STi Driver this week just to make sure that mine will be in working condition for the event ;).
Can't wait to see TRC, and GTO04 there.
And can't wait to see GTO's scanners and his V1 1.7 with that nice rear laser sensor. :D
