After receiving a speeding ticket and paying fines and driving school I purchased the Bel GX65 radar detector. The GX65 provides precision in long range warnings against speed traps, and conventional radar and laser detectors. This detector has the most amazing features. First of all its size is very accommodating. It fits easily on the dash of your vehicle with a quick release mounting system so that you can remove the detector and it not is visible while your car is parked. The display features include five levels of brightness as well as a complete darkness mode. The LED lighting provides bright readable messages.
The Bel GX65 has the ability to pick up all band forms of both radar and laser that any law enforcement patrol may be using. The detector has speed sensitivity as well as a speed check function which provides the driver with real time protection based on your driving speed.
This detector has built in a GPS system as well as a safety camera database which provides warning locations throughout the country. The mark locator which enables the driver to add known red light cameras as well as speed traps and other spots for references in the future.
Other great features include l pop radar alerts, an advanced auto scan, clear voice alerts with volume control. There is also an auto mute feature which allows the user to turn off the voice activation alerts. The options are all user friendly (brightness controls with dark mode as mentioned earlier, as well as the volume control).
This detector also has programmable features which include power on indicators, voice alerts, and a power on sequence also a signal meter. The feature can be placed in a city mode pattern as well as for highway driving. The many functions allows any techie person the ability to custom his/her detector for personal use.
One of the nicest features of this detector is that eliminates one of the biggest complaints that most owners of other radar detectors and laser jammers have is the false alarms. Many of the detectors will alarm at convent stores, shopping malls, etc… you can be sure that when your detector alarms it is for a specific reason and not at the doors to your local Safeway.
Beltronics GX65 also comes with the quick release windshield mounting kit, a smart power plug that is coiled for easy use, a travel case and an owner’s manual for references and more explanations of features.
Im looking to buy a radar, either the v1 or the escort 9500.
Everyone always says that the arrows make the v1 better but, regardless of where the cop is standing im still going to slow down, so in my opinion the arrows are useless.
Id like to know which is better at picking up lasers as well because alot of cops are starting to use those.
The 9500s situation ignorance is somewhat helpful but im worried it wont pickup radars when i really need it.
In the end i just want a radar that will pick up close to every radar/ laser
within a reasonable range
thanks
The best windshield-mounted radar detector in independent tests by Speed Measurement Labs and 1stRadarDetectors.com is the Beltronics STi Driver. The Bel STi Driver provides the best detection over the greatest distances with the least number of false alerts and 100% invisibility to police radar detector detectors. The Valentine One radar detector comes in a close second, with the following 3 radar detectors rounding out the top 5 radar detectors in the world: Escort Passport 9500i, Escort Passport 8500 X50, and Beltronics Pro RX65. See the source link for a comparison and links to all of these products.
If you are concerned about police laser (LIDAR), your only alternative is a laser jammer. Most radar detectors will detect police laser, but by then it’s already too late. 0.2 seconds under the laser and your speed is recorded. A laser jammer detects and jams the laser gun, allowing you time to adjust your speed if necessary. Like radar detectors, laser jammers are also legal in nearly every state. There are a number of laser/radar combo systems, like the Escort Passport 9500ci, which includes the new Escort ZR4 laser jammer.
Escort 9500 ix is rated as the best radar detector on the market today that combines superior detection on every radar and laser bands used in North America and combines GPS technology that makes this unit the first fully automatic detector. Not only will the 9500 ix sniff out and alert to manned speed traps but also the automated photo enforcement threats such as red light cameras and photo radar. The 9500 ix GPS and computer also blocks out known false alarm locations. Radar Roy and Carl Fors from Speed Measurement Laboratories all agree, the Escort 9500 ix Rocks!
