Letter to the CEO

V1 is definitely the best-bang-for-the-buck.

Escort does provide a rebate too.

Good Point I added that also to my post.

This is pointless even if all of us did this how many a hundred of us at most?

They won't care they still can live well on sales of people who don't give a crap

[Jag42]

Belscort does not care because of all the idiots at Best buy and other electronic stores don't even know or care about RDR and Band Seg,USA mode.

Our official response to the petition is as follows:

Thank you for your passion and interest in our radar detectors. We are always looking at the most effective and efficient ways to improve them. These suggestions have been passed along to the appropriate people within product development and engineering.

Escort Inc

Personally as administrator of our forums, I haven't censored anything on our forums other than the petition form itself. All of the tests and feedback about these and many other features have not been edited or deleted. Find me any other company that would allow a petition form against them to be posted on their own websites

[Freebird]

Thanks Escort for considering our wishes.

Mailed one yesterday!

What needs improving more than the slow response times and poor ramp up on Escort detectors?

What more effective and efficient ways are there to address these issues than Band Seg / RDR / USA Mode and the STi-R's ramp up?

Why after two years are you still looking and not doing?

You'll excuse me if I put your response from management in the lip service waste bin!

Europe has these options and so should we. I think John still needs to hear this directly from us!

The Customer doesn't pay for excuses.........we pay for results!

Europe has these options and so should we.

I agree here also, I even contemplated buying a Euro Model just for the band segmentation / RDR options that they offer and not have to spend $1200+ on a STI-r + remote system that I really don't want anyway, I'm a windshield RD type guy
It baffles me that it's basically doable w/a software upgrade for our RD's here in the States and it still isn't offered to us here in the US in a Windshield type RD.

If / when this type of RD becomes available I will be one of the 1st to buy

That's fine 9C1, my only contention has been having the mail in petition form posted on our site. I can confirm that Mr. Larson is aware of the petition as well as the rest of management.

Well that REALLY helps us (note sarcasm)... because you know... we have been saying for YEARS what we want in a radar detector (fairly clearly actually)... and yet that has fallen upon mute ears.

We don't want them to *know* there is a petition... we want them to DO SOMETHING about it... they have known for YEARS what we have wanted on our detectors... yet, we haven't seen it (except in exorbitantly high-priced remote-mounts, and that was slow to come to fruition).

So we understand they can *know* things are out there... but the management doing work and coming up with ACTION and RESULTS on the issue(s) we have is what we want (and don't receive).

(Shameless lobbying here: Why doesn't Escort hire an official Rep for solely taking in, and trying to implement customer designs into upcoming units who has the authority to pass all ideas on and discuss the ideas with any (employee) level of the company? The individual can scour the internet, and or take in calls/emails solely regarding FUTURE products; as well as send-out product queries via email (surveys) for future designs and features in products). I think it is a brilliant idea, and I think I am the man for the job. You can contact by PM for the job opening... thanks in advance and I look forward to working with you all (and I'll actually work and get things done... so be prepared, it'll shock Escorts system).

(PS: I need a new computer *thus all the typing issues*, so this will work out well for a future job, I'll have the funds to get a new one working with you guys, since you seem so keen on getting stuff done and your products what we want, this job is a proverbial no-brainer to create).

Super side-note: If you have someone who already does this job... they need to be FIRED NOW. I mean... the QI-45? Yeah... enough said.

As for your snide little face at the end champ... I can name NUMEROUS companies who have left-up *official complaint/protest* issues on their websites for extended periods of time:

It happened with the COD franchise.
It happened with the Gears of War franchise
It happened with the Mass Effect Franchise
It happened with the Fallout Franchise

Each of these companies had petitions on their website for MANY, MANY days, weeks, months regarding game content and boycotts of products (especially COD)...

Would you like any more examples, Sir? (PS: I can dish out much, much, much more if you so desire).
