Service Required HELP!

[Grant]

Hey guys!
It's been a little while since I've been on here.. Anyways the other day my Escort 8500 X50 started showing the dreaded Service Required message. It will work about 1/2 the time and the other half it will not alert to anything. (After several tests with my bushnell and other RADAR sources.) My question is that I have a REV 5 S7 and was wondering if I sent it in would they put a new version (which I hear is slower) or can I tell them that I want to keep my REV? Thanks for your help, again your suggestions really help!!

Interesting. I've never had a problem with my X50 in the five years I've been using it. Other than replacing the worn out RJ11 connector a month or so ago, it's been utterly reliable.

I owned 4 different Valentine One units, and after having an Escort, I'll never waste money on a V1 again. Way too many false alerts, and just overall poor performance.
