| tronik's Full Review: Beltronics Pro RX55 Radar Detector |
I considered a lot of RDs before settling on this, seemed a good compromise between price and performance. Obviously, if money were no object, I'd go for one of the 'Big 3' [the BEL RX65, Valentine V1 or Escort 5800].
I have only had it for a few days, but has already saved me from a potential infringement notice, detecting a Ka band radar at quite a range [2km + over a hill].
The layout of the buttons is simple and intuitive and the manual is fairly well written. The display has excellent brightness, even in full sun; and can be adjusted down to a more suitable level for night driving. Also has a 'dark' mode which essentially just gives audible alerts.
All in all, an excellent mid-range detector.
