GOL, you can count my STi in. What other units will it be up against? I hope a V1, x50 and Rx65.

X50,V1,RX65,Escort DSP, 8500,etc

I'm hoping you guys are going to test with the original Passport 8500 and the Bel 985 / 995 for comparison, right? I'm especially interested in the comparison of Ka for the X50 and the original Passport 8500. Also interested in how much better the RX65 "really" (if any) is vs. the 985 / 995.

FWIW, the reporting of your last test's results was excellent. No BS comparison of features, etc. etc. Just pure detection results! A picture truly does say 1000 words, and the images with the detectors and distances was awesome...very concise and easy to interpret.

I don't know if this counts, but I have a functioning (I think) Bel Vector 3 LX. As I recall it does X/K/Ka narrow. I'm about to go out of town but you guys can shoot me a PM later in the week if you want to bother with it. I think I'll drive around with it while my V1 is getting re-flashed to see how terrible it is.

Will you guys have enough time to test everything in one day?

*RX65 - older hardware vs. new
*RX65 - Ka performance USA vs. INTL modes
*STi, RX65 & X50 Ka performance with POP on/off
*Full STi testing
*Everything else

I wish you guys had time to test different Ka guns as well: 33.8, 34.7 & 35.5 to see if some Detectors have better Ka performance with certain frequencies.

We also have extensive video of all this but is on hold for confidential reasons

We are going to test every frequency. There will be no video this time or POP testing so time should not be an issue.
