r-edge's Full Review: Beltronics Pro RX65 Radar Detector
Bought a RX 65 last month to replace a Cobra that had lost it's voice(??). Did my home work for 3 weeks, and started out believing I needed a V-1 but it became clear that the RX65 was a better product for a lot less $$. I picked a NIB RX65 off ebay for $225 shipped from Canada (not a clone either, be careful!). It is amazing the difference between my old one and this. 1/5 of the false city alarms and 4x the distance sensitivity to Ka. This thing even picks up back scatter Ka around turns!?!. I had read reviews that reported this to work around corners before but we all know RADAR is direct line of site (LOS) and that is not possible but the sensitivity to back scatter is amazing. When the RX65 alerts, you now have to find the source. It is out there, it might be a mile and a half in front of you or 1/4 mile to your left/right or rear but it is definatly there! My old 6 band system only looked ahead and alerted at danger close range. I am much more relaxed and confident driving with this box. Might not be the best (arguably) but bang for the buck it is all I need. I have been using RADAR detectors for near 30 years and I have finally arrived. I mouted it high in the windshield above the rear view mirror in a 01 VW Jetta with a DIY hard wire. It is not visible from the front. Lost 270 degree of LASER coverage due to mounting position covers the on top LASER "eye". Still have full frontal LASER coverage but w/o a LASER jammer, when it alerts to LASER, you might as well just pull over since it is an after the fact event. Buy with confidence and don't pay over 300 from any place, shop around.
