x50 blue & x50 red sensitivity difference?

[sethy]

I was driving through this morning, and the spot that usually falses lit up the detector. I dont know what was going on last night but i guess it wasnt liking me. I am about to go out and test them side by side to see if there really is a sensetivity difference.

The only real difference between the Blue and Red is the price, blue costing $40.00 more. This is for the added expense of the gases used in the blue LED lights.

Well I decided to try it out on my way to wendies to get somthing to eat. The radar detectors did not appear to conflict at all...
These are the two side by side on Auto mode


What I DID notice, that the red falsed on POP 2 times, where as the blue did not. (kind of hard to read the RD's)


And for the ppl saying I should not be speeding in the city, this are the roads during the lunch rush.



Anyways, was this a waste of time? MAYBE! there was no preformance difference between two at all. They both went off at the same time, no problem. What I DID notice, the POP falsed on the red much more then the blue. I am wondering maybe escort fixed a POP problem and integrated it in their detectors and didnt go public about it? Not necessarly the blues, just all their detectors in general. or maybe im just talking to much :cry:

It would have been nice to have pics of the 2 RDs displays showing what they detected and then the source.

those are the pics, it just didnt turn out well lol. The blue recived K band, and the red recieved POP, and the drug mart in the right of that pic is what set it off

stealthJamal,
your the 2nd person that I heard from that a new x50 falses less on pop with a newer model. Did the X50 come out with new software??

Sethy,
Maybe the red one is the older model and falses more on pop. Maybe the blue one has newer software and falses less.

[stealthJamal]

Escort might have come out with new software. On one of my repair cards that they send back with the unit Tech SID said he replaced Antenna, updated software, and recalibrated unit.

I remember thinking to myslelf doesn't the X50 have the lastest sotware already?

So they might have come out with new software and not told anyone. I guess you would have to call them to find out for sure. Another thing that is a little suspicious is they keep pushing the date back to upgrade the Passport 8500 with POP.

I know mines older, I got mine a few months ago, and my friend just got his
