Radar Detector Recommendations

Bshields22 · 10-27-2015, 01:59 PM

Escort 8500 X50. This is the foundation for all the good radar detectors. All the new ones have all these GPS and false radar nonsense additions jacking the price up to an unreasonable amount for the performance needed. My 8500 X50 grabs Ka band (Hwy Patrol Radar) from miles away on open road. ALL radar detector are USELESS in the city because of the close quarters and most of the time it is LIDAR which is what biker cops use. Those guns are instant on and instant off which means once you detect a signal its already too late. Radar detects can filter X-Band, K-band which are car alarms and auto doors. If you buy and 8500 X50 for example you filter out all band except Ka. Once you do that all radar signals you receive will 100% be Hwy Patrol.
