Adding On

[Ace_Racer]

Hi All,

After a nice computer repair job I did I got enough to get me an X50 BLUE Now this is my second time owning an X50, but this time it is permanent. Now I have 1 V1, 1 RX65, and 1 X50.

I have named it Xavier The Savior because not even 15 out of the box and set up I got about 3 seconds warning coming up a steep on ramp to a CHP helping a disabled vehicle (rear antenna on and facing me) not bad IMO under the circumstances.

Then not 30 minutes from that I come upon a CHP off to the side with his gun on (CO) and I was really impressed with the ramp up the X50 has! I felt it gave an excellent alert given the distance it went up rather qucikly but didn't skip like my 65 always goes from 1 to 9 somehow. I had the meter in STD.

That alert was about a good 0.8 -0.9 miles. It was at full alert before I could even see the CHP on the side. The road was flat and straight but I am very impressed. I was gong 75 and the PSL was 70 so ample time to slow down to 65 Can't be to gutsy you know.

No arrows but I will take it. Of course, I have it using my V1 set up and cords. Works perfectly for those who are in the same boat. I am using the scrolling + sign and I love it Plus the blue matches my sonia (sonata) of dark blue.

Also, I went by my K band YSI (Your Speed Is) course and it alerted to all of them a little less then the V1 does but far more then the RX65.

I will post some video of it once I get my V1 tutorial videos completed here soon so be patient.

I must say, the X50 is a winner in my book. I've had mine for 3 years now
and I have never received a ticket. It's always given me fair advanced warning
and even in an " Instant On " scenario has preformed amazingly.

For example: Yesterday I was driving down a local road getting ready to
jump on the Interstate when all of a sudden my detector gave me
1, 2, 3, bars of K Band warning. There was no leo in site and I was approaching
a 70 degree turn. As I turn the corner Full K band alert and there was the Leo......

I must say the X50 has some very good Off Axis detection range.

I'm very pleased .........

Good to hear Orbital.

That has been the quickest KA encounters I have ever gotten from getting a detector (and on the same day no less). Partly because of GOL's tests I decided well let's see if it is true and so far I am inclined to agree it is. Can't vouch for off axis but give me time at this rate it should be no time flat!

now the question is , are you guys talking about the same detector or not ...
how significant the Ver 5 to 6.x is ?

Congrats on the blue. You are now officially a "scanning dot college boy."

I am jealous about your frequent encounters!!!!!!! I get an average of about 1 Ka alert a week nearly all of those are stupid encounters (cop sitting at a stoplight perpendicular to me...cop running radar but I never see him...)

After a few weeks, you'll have to write up a comparison (RX-65 vs. V1 vs. X50.)

Yeah I love my scanning dot

Well I don't ahve frequent encounters really just good timing on this one. In reality you get more than me because I am lucky to get 1 KA alert a month! :shock: Seriously

Well I am thinking of doing a review between the three. Maybe I will do a written review since I am much better at writing versus video taking

Thanks
