    Default Escort introduces the C65 radar detector!

    Hi everyone,

    Languy99 (currently banned) sent me a PM, and he seems to be the first to have noticed Escort's new C65 on Escort's web site. It appears to be a re-badged RX65 based on its appearance and features. Check it out:

    Escort C65 Radar Detector

    Thanks Languy99 for the "heads up" about this new product!

    Perhaps it's a GX65 minus the GPS and the Ku band? Haha it looks exactly like an RX65 but maybe it incorporates a new internal design like the GX65 does? Time will tell, surely, but obviously it has "65" in the name for a reason. I'm interested to know about it's threat/expert mode. Bel calls theirs "Threat" and it can only show ONE signal from each band while Escort calls theirs "Expert" and it can show several. Also, I wonder what alert tones it has? Will it have the scanning dot?

    Upon reading the features page for this new detector, it appears to have Threat and Tech modes as opposed to Escort's usual Expert and Spec modes. That is interesting. I'm still interested in hearing the alert tones. If it was this similar to an RX65, I wonder why the lack of Ku band detection (not that it matters). Another thing to wonder about is whether it will include any sort of K band filtering. We will know more when the manual is uploaded to the web site.

    Escort really did need to make another $300 unit instead of just the X50, it was getting kind of old.

    It apears to be difrent than any of the outher units from Belscort.

    9500i & GX65- have Varactor-Tuned VCO

    RX65- is only VTO.

    C65- GaAs FET VCO.

    +1

    So true. Economy of scale. Then again, probably only true RD enthusiasts know that Escort and Bel are one in the same company...
