My escort 8500 X50 was the JOKE of the convoy :-(

you're detector has fallen out of tune, those are the first symptoms, it alerts late and if it's completly dead it will not alert at all. This can happen to any rd so quit whining, they each have their ups and downs

I had multiple brand new X50's straight from Escort that alerted late and had poor range on 35.5 Ka.


X50 = Sucks (Compared to STi, V1, & RX65 Ka band, especially 35.5 freq)

I don't want to offend any X50 owners, this is just my honest opinion based on my experience and testing with SEVERAL X50's. Your X50 may be great for you.

Only thing the rx65 is good for is ka, it's lidar reception is absolutely horrible!

o i dont care, my X50 is great and thats all i care about, honestly i couldnt give a rats @$$ about your X50 :wink: maybe you got a bad one, o and on a good note my X50 picked up a rear laser hit, and yes im positive it was rear

[lowkey]

how can you say the x50 does a poor job on detecting the 35.5 freq the x50 did very good on GOL radar test on there 2 test.It was really close to the STI!. they even used the talon ka radar gun so i don't get it at all :?

My rx-65's lidar detection seems to be pretty good.

The Blue X0 that I had that was Rev 5 KICKED MAJOR butt. Its X band and K band abilities were INCREDIBLE. I miss her :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

lidar on any radar sucks!!! once you get hit the cop has your speed anyway

[Toronto-radar-chopper]

I run the STi in city (x band off) and I get minimum falses. My X50 gave me a lot of k band falses.

V1, not interested. I heard it is great device to find a beer store when in a pinch.
