    X2 for nonupgradibility. Escort can't "upgrade" your detector, only service it if it ever displays 'Service Required' or starts to give 'Self Cal' messages.

    So basically whatever revision you buy, you're stuck with it.

    I highly recommend the Rev 5. X2 on what thestation said.

    No upgrades for personally owned units ever, new units they may put in new upgrades. But flash updates unofficially yes. Yours is a newer version anyway so it is the most recent. :wink:
    According to there patent the USB was designed to adjust things like where Auto sensitivity kicks in. I would doubt ramp up could ever be fixed in this way even if they ever make software for the USB. :?

    From what I have found out thus far, the USB port is only going to
    allow Import and Export of GPS coordinates for Lockout Data.
    You can Save your Lockouts and import new ones via some
    software by Escort ( Unknown Software Release Date ).

    That's too bad!

    I think most users would be much more interested in being able to import speedtrap (marked locations) data than lockout points.
    Just like someone else suggested, I would not feel comfortable using (trusting) someone else's lockout data in the first place!
    What if they created the lockout when a LEO running radar was present (i.e. accidentally locked out a false and a true radar gun signal or even just the latter).

    However, having the system provide me with advance warning (via marked locations) of potential threats ahead, especially when I am travelling in unfamiliar territory, would be great.

    Speed traps via USB. See blow excerpt from patent:

    Signal information may also be downloaded from other hosts, for example, a connection may be established directly via the USB interface to an Internet site carrying signal information, as is now done in a text form at the Internet site speedtrap.com. An indirect Internet connection may also be established via a host computer. Furthermore, connections may be established between two receivers, e.g. a trained receiver having extensive signal information, and a receiver having less extensive information, to transfer signal information between the receivers so that either or both has a more complete set of signal information.
