This item was previously discussed. Has anybody had a chance to try it out yet?

Wow, lots of neat features, but it's pricey! I think my 8500 X50 will stay with me for a while.

 

If no one else has one, I will get one to try out. I will post back after the demo.

 

was reading up on it at the radar detector forums, seems like the auto locating /GPS remembering system isn't working as well as advertised, hopefully its just a bug that'll get fixed...

 

mine arrived. it totally blocked my sirius satelite signal and after a phone call to escort they confirmed there could be a signal conflict. they have a work around by dialing out a certain frequency that will fix any satelite radio signal conflicts. i returned the unit and the repaired 9500 should arrive today and i will install and see if they corrected the problem.

the GPS speedometer feature is pretty cool. i can watch my speed by just looking at the detector.

also future plans are to be able to upload and download other peoples "blocked list" in various cities/areas.

 

I need to invest in a radar detector/blocker....anyone have any expiriences with the K40 Calibre? I have heard it was way over-hyped and a v1 or passport would do jsut as good of a job?

 

Very interested to see if they fixed the interference. Keep us posted.

Glad the fix was that easy. Initial impressions?

 

Wait for the revised software....

though escort did solve my satelite radio conflict, i ran into more issues trying to programming my local "false" areas ie: grocery store doors, home depot doors and what not. i could not get the unit to respond to inputs and i was following the instructions perfectly.

i returned to Escort today and i will be sticking with my X50. based on my situation, I would recommend people wait to buy this unit until it's been on the market awhile longer.
