are these two detector equal togehter
Although Escort claims the X50 is more sensitive on K and Ka, I have found my plain 8500 is more sensitive on both bands than my X50.
oh ok hows your non x50 do on ka 35.5 then your x50Quote:

well see you have a rev5 and if do go with the x50 its going to have a 6.3 and heard that rev is much better on ka band the 6.3 am i correctQuote:

Yeah well those are results from 2006, and in the present real world the X50 out preforms the nonX50 in K and all Ka frequencys.Quote:

Like I was saying before, it's probably because everyone thinks the ramp up on the rev. 5 is perfect. If your looking for this 'perfect' ramp up, it's the same on the nonX50.Quote:

Besides you cant get a rev 5 anymore, and even if you can find one who knows the real condition of it. Its safer to get a new 6.3 thats at least equal if not better in detection.
There is allot more to a RD than just pure sensitivity. A car that can go 160mph is int much good if it cant handle the turns anymore. :driver:
