    Default What is your favorite old schood detector?

    Excluding the newest detectors like the X50's, V1's, STi's the like. When I mean old school I mean old school.

    My old favorite is the Bel Vector 3 (mid-late 80's Era).

    Mem-Tek...I borrowed your pic from the net...

    The original Passport, which was the first detector I ever owned back in the 80s.

    Those were very good units back in the day. I also liked the Radio Shack RD9XL because of the very small size and it was a good performer for those threats.

    Loved the original Passport back in the late 80's. Solidly built, compact, excellent range with minimal falsing. Also had the Spectrum 2, which was the V1 of its day - it had the longest range, but it also falsed like crazy.

    Actually, I loved my BEL 944 Express.....other than it did false quite a bit (what early BEL didnt) on the Ka Band (photo radar). But the x and k band range was totally awesome!I liked the Escort DSP (x/k detector). That was smoking HOT!

    Spectrum 2. My Dad used to use that in the 80s and 90s. I was always fascinated by it would alert to cops on the way to the usual lake we fished at. We still have it but it's retired. My Dad now uses a XTR-105 and I use a 695.

    The original Passport. I still drive around with it every once in a while when I'm feeling dangerous It's still a great design.

    I've sold off all my other old detectors and kept only the Passport...it was some hot ticket in its day ... pun intended!
