    It means its internal self-check/calibration check failed. Give Escort a call and arrange to send it in for repair, they'll make it as good as new.

    The reason Im asking is I have a chance to buy one real cheap (like under 10.00) and its throwing this code. Im wondering if it would be worth it to buy it and send it in.

    I think they charge $80 to repair a unit not under warranty. You can get refurbished 8500s with a warranty for $150, so if you can get it cheap and have it fixed, it's a pretty good deal, if you don't mind not having a warranty afterward.

    Yup, $80 is right. Got my 8500 back, brand new looking, new cord, mount, and works great. We'll see how it performs on May 1st. =)
