up in canada its the bel sti or nothing

 

Escort owns BEL. (Same company)

 

I run an Escort 8500 X50 and have been very pleased with it. Plenty of warning time for Ka band.

 

Just be warned if you disable the X band then you won't get warnings of the cops who use X band.

That's one of the sneaky things Arizona has been doing to go along with their mobile speed cameras. I know they've stopped using the speed cameras but they've still go the X band equipment.

They would send out 3-4-5-6 cops to surround the speed cameras. This would overwhelm all the radar detectors but the V1. You'd see the first cop and think the danger was over, but with the V1 you'd know it wasn't.

At least one of the cops would have an X band detector so most people would ignore it or have their filters up so high that it didn't go off until too late.

 

I like the GPS features of the 9500 series. Adding known speed trap alerts, locking out known sources, and going silent at lower speeds are big pluses to me.

 

In socal, "X" bands are banks and food stores and not used in this area. Even "K" band is almost obsolete except for a few towns down here. But KA is big is california.

 

I like it too. Tells you where all the red light camera's, and even talks to you. I like the fact that it tells you the speed that you were hit by the signal/cop.

 

The cops don't use radar anymore. They use laser almost exclusively now. Radar detectors are mostly useless now.
