Which mode do you use and why?
Expert mode all the way! :D For the obvious reason that it can track multiple sources.
The thing that has always concerned me about the X50 in expert mode is that it only displays a fraction of alerts the V1 does. :cry:
Used to use spec all the time, but will probably go with exp when I get my x50 back from Ohio (tomorrow! :))
A fraction??? It tracks up to eight...2K, 2Ka. and 4X...but the thing is...the V1 wont tell you the bands for each individual signal....That is what concerns me about the V1 "bogey counter"....My x50 bogey counter kicks the V1's A$$Quote:

Expert all the way...
Most of the V1 alerts are falses anyway so there is nothing to worry about ....Quote:

at first i thought the spec meter was the coolest, but then i switched to exp and that's what i use, it's a very usefull feature to have
Expert and the scanning Plus Sign
I love 11 votes so far and all for expert meter............... the scanning dot is awesome and thats all you can say about it
Most people turn off X band which means that half of the X50's display is for nothing and the V1 can detect up to 9 of any kind of radar so tell me which one is more useless.Quote:

Tell me since you seem to know a lot about it, how are you going to distinguish a real threat from that? If the LEO signal is really weak you can't, but the X50 allows you to track, albeit less signals, the relative signal strength of EVERY signal, not a number a couple of poorly marked LED's and one signal strength meter (dont get me wrong, I think the V1 rocks but the escort display is hands down better, barring the arrows). Also, when are you going to run across more than two Ka signals realistically, and if you do they will be so far spread apart that it wont really mater because the x50 will prioritize the signals and show the strongst two, it can detect more signals it just doesnt overload you with every signal and stray harmonic frequency it picks up. Go back to your V1 forum and post useless crap over there, at least they will agree with you... mods this is brewing into a bash, possibly consider locking...Quote:

Look people, don't even start this crap with warring between Escort and V1.Quote:

For example the X50 picks up another Ka source in addition to the one it is already alerting for. You won't have any warning to the new signal except for a little bar. No audio alert that a second signal is picked up from the X50. So unless you like to stare at your X50 while it picks up an alert, the threat display is not as nice as the V1's.
With the V1 you get a double beep warning when another signal is detected which is extremely nice. You can look at the road with the V1 and still get multi threats. In fact my favorite feature of the V1 is the bogey counter, I really don't care too much about the arrows.
I have used x50, V1, RX65, STi and original 8500.
If I posted that the X50 has better multi threat warning than the V1 I wouldn't be telling the truth.
Quit with the bull$hit, please!
Well said....END OF DISCUSSION!
Let's get back to the topic of the poll for Escort users:
Do you use Expert Meter or Spec Display?
Your only happy cuz he sided with the V1 idiot. get off of our forum like you said we should stay on the forums that we have or have used (detectors)Quote:
