jstephan's Full Review: Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector
I've had mine for 2 years...and not one ticket yet! I'll tell you my real life experience here in Arizona where there is photo radar and MC cops w/ radar traps everywhere you drive. I also exceed the speed limit and drive all my vehicles to their full potential on a daily basis. KA and KA pop reception is very good. The X50 will pick up parked photo radar units about 3/4 mile away. It picks up KA Pop about 99% of the time, but had one very close call where it didn't pick it up til 25 feet away from a MC patrolman. Here are the definite PROs: can buy at any best buy, better than 99% of the other detectors, excellent K, and KA coverage, and I've never gotten a ticket! Cons: a screw fell out after 12 months of use and I had to tape the unit back together, the audio alerts are not loud enough, the unit's circuit board went bad at about 28 months of use, not so good rear radar coverage. I'm off to buy a Valentine one!
