    Default Spec display

    I currently have a V1 (very happy with it), but I wanted to check out what radar bands are currently in use in my area (south Kansas City, KS Johnson County). What RDs have the SPEC DISPLAY ability?

    Escort and Beltronics radar detectors. Whistler also has spec mode but it is only for Ka frequencies.

    Not all Bels have it, if you decide to buy any, run it by us first.

    For your purpose, I don't think a Whistler would be a good choice. They have been known to completely mis-identify bands, so there's no way I could trust that the frequency ID would be accurate.

    Any of the following units will have frequency display.

    Escort:
    8500 (or X50)
    9500(i/ix/ci)
    C65
    Qi45
    Redline

    Beltronics:
    Vector 985
    Vector 995
    RX65
    GX65
    RX45
    STI (and STI-R)

    Why doesn't the Escort website show the C65 for sale?
