    Wow what a spread it kinda lets the air out of the bragging rights balloon though.

    Thx to the GOL for doing the test. I couldnt figure out why I saw all the photos of the Lidar guns and this was radar only test but your methodology clued me in

    LOL, well there was only one day but yeah that is the radar stuff. Believe it or not it was not until the way home that I found out my v-1 was even being used lol. I didn't know any of the results until now. I like the graph.

    Now that I know that my V-1 was tested I am disapointed in the results. Oh well it still works I guess.
    Jason, thats because every time I saw saw you you were catching all of the great moments on camera. Great job you did at it and its great to have them saved.

    Wow! Nice work!!!! I am disappionted in the Bel RX65 Ku-range but then again I have never seen a Ku gun....I also had a feeling that the Beltronics would dominate 35.5 and 33.8 Ka they have those frequnecies on lock down....You'd be amazed with the range I get with my 995 on local PD handheld Talon. It's really hard to declare a winner! I think alot depends on what KA radar gun you plan on seeing the most!

    Anyone notice how stealthjamals Escort 8500 rev 15 lacked in the Ka range? I wonder how his X50 would of done

    I would like to thank the guys at GOL for a great and thourough test. Your work is appreciated. I would have been intresting too to see the Ku results if the STi and turned that band on. Good work guys. On the Sti, do you think it would take a software upgrade to turn Ku on or just push a series of buttons?

    Yeah, the day kinda flew by. I was taking pics then uploading them and the next thing I knew night was fast approaching.
    Then it just had to rain on Sunda so we got one day. But it was fun. Oh, I slo did shoot some video that I will put up for free. I went along with one run to show you how it was being done. Other stuff like us grilling out and talking to officers. I have some video of the officer getting a jam on the stalker to!!

    Now if you try to combine these results with that of the previous GOL test... such as the non X50 vs X50, where the although also a slight curve to the test site road, the non X50 dominated the new X50. But in this case with a different setup accross the strieght road, there was no difference.

    Well, next time I am sending my old bel 985 and I am buying the fellas a round of drinks for the hassle.

    The bottom line of this testing has revealed that.

    1. Ka narrow is better then wide mode.

    2. You performance will vary from one detector to the next.

    3. STi is only worth it to those that live banned areas.
