I wondered how heavy this detector will be because my X50 needs a better windshield mount. I hope they have improve their windshield mount on this one.

The X50 and the STi use the same type of mounts, just the connection on the X50 is really poor. it shakes like an old pair of cougar t1ts.
I'm actually really itching to try this out - but because of my very limited "toys" budget, I think I'm going to sit-tight until the respected hobbyist groups present here take this unit out for an independent test-drive and some good testing.
To me, the GPS "position of interest" marking, especially for falsing, is a huge benefit as my daily travels are nearly all on local surface streets, in the city, where I encounter a lot of falses.
Sure, I've gotten used to them, but it'd be nice to have some peace, too.
And definitely, I know that my wife would appreciate the auto audio-volume adjust, as well as the low-speed sensitivity adjustment.
ill bet there will be a pretty big waiting list for rhis one like the STI release, but the thing is that this one will appeal to ALL, not jus t those needing stealth :?
Reading Roy's blog the other day, it said that the new detector will pick up Ku band. Is that to say then that we will be seeing Ku introduced in the US soon? Just my 2 cents...
No.Originally Posted by Victor
Most on the site say NO, but they also used to say it was rare to see laser shot from behind. I believe I was the first to prove that it did in fact occur. :wink:
There has been no proof of it comming to the US yet but....
IMHO, I believe its worth having the KU alert just in case. :wink:

That's cool. Only reason I asked is that I heard that one of the 3 radar gun manufacturers was testing another prototype Ku band gun recently. I just want to make sure that I'll be covered in case the local cops in Kenmore here get it (they seem to LOVE Stalker).
Someone had inquired about pictures. I found this.
