I really like this radar. The light is less noticable in the dark. It get a very long range. And it dose cut back on false alamars, which I really fell in love with.
Which is a better buy for a radar detector, the Beltronics Rx65 Price Beltronics RX65 the Beltronics V995 or Escort Passport 8500?
Which is the best?

My Radar detector was purchased January 2010. One month later the detector stopped working and would not turn on. I verified it was not the power source or the cable; the unit was receiving power but would not turn on. Well I wasn’t too happy but I knew it was covered by a 1 Year warranty. I called up Beltronics only to find out that they DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY CLAIMS for products purchased from Amazon.com!!! Even worse, they wanted $79.99 + shipping to fix the unit. Needless-to-say, I find their level of customer service inadequate and disconcerting given the volume of product they sell through this site. I will not purchase another Beltronics product and would advise highly against it given their lack of professionalism in standing behind the quality of their own product.
I bought this in 2006 and it still works great.. The rader has gone with me to other countries ie. Fiji, New Zealand, Australia .. I can say it has saved my butt a few times. The construction is great, overall great product from beletronics.
Was skeptical at first, but once I purchased this radar, it has saved me on several occasions from expensive speeding tickets! I would highly recommend this radar detector over the escort to anyone on the market for a new one.
It worked fine for about eight weeks, then quit. I didn’t keep the receipt, so it was a total waste of money.
I bought mine cheap from a person who was pissed for getting an expensive speeding ticket. Apparently, he thought that it would make him invincible. No radar detector can.
I would not say that it had saved me any tickets because I typically don’t drive over the limit. But I did pick up many early warnings and it gives me the peace in mind when I do need to catch up a schedule.
In my area, Ka band is the most common radar used by the cops. Whenever the Ka band is alarmed, it almost 100% real. Laser is also used but not very common. I’ve seen fewer than 5 times in a year but it is most lethal. By time you react to it, you are already locked on. I’d recommend Laser Veil to give you the extra 2 seconds needed to to react.
K and X bands were the most frequent alarms but 100% of them were false because of their location dependency. Fortunately, RX65 allows you to turn off any band. After I turned off K and X, RX-65 has become a lot more pleasant to use.
Mine went dead after about a year. No mistreatment, just did not wake up when I turned the car on.
Don’t buy junk from a company that sells junk (unless you just want to buy a new one every year).
Bought this as a replacement for one that was stolen. Great detection range, few false alarms. Need better windshield mount. Bought better replacement mount directly from Beltronics website. Highly recommend this product, much cheaper than first ticket.
I’ve used many radar detectors, and have travelled cross-country many times for thousands of miles. This radar detector is amazing. in some cases, it would pick-up radar traps up to 3 miles away, no kidding. This thing just works, and works well. forget the other brands out there, Bel is the king!
Very happy with the performance of the product and especially the service provided by the vendor!
