Superior Detection
The C65 includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System radar capability, front and rear laser detection, complete with digital signal processing (DSP) for superior long-range ability and reduced false alarms. AutoScan mode can virtually eliminate those false alarms, and provides both Highway and City sensitivity settings.

Mute and AutoMute
Escort’s patented AutoMute feature automatically reduces the alert volume after initially alerting you at your selected volume. This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert. If you’d prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off.

The Mute button, located on C65′s top case, allows you to silence the audio alert entirely.

Easy to Use
With the C65, you’ll enjoy control right at your fingertips using the included SmartPlug power cord. Patented Mute and AutoMute technology on the cord allows you to quickly silence alerts without reaching for the detector. Advanced programming lets you customize several features, and programmable bands let you set the device for your region, including International and North American settings.

Installation is a snap: use the quick release mount to attach it to your vehicle’s windshield, and remove it in a snap. A durable zipper travel case is included to take the unit with you, or neatly conceal it in your vehicle.

Ultra-Bright LED Display
Don’t miss a visual alert with the C65′s 280-LED alphanumeric display. Exclusive threat display tracks and displays multiple radar signals, including signal strength. Tech Display provides actual numeric radar frequency for any radar signal. You can also view Safety Warning System (SWS) messages about upcoming hazards, construction and more.

Safety Radar
Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a modified K-band radar signal to alert users of Highway Construction or Maintenance, Highway Hazard Zone Advisories, Weather Related Hazards, Travel Information/Convenience, and Fast/Slow Moving Vehicles. The SWS safety radar system has 64 possible messages (60 currently allocated), all of which can be displayed on your C65.

Valentine one radar detector picks up Plano police radar very nicely

Two experiences with the 9500ix detecting Ka band radar in an area where there was a locked out K band signal.

garbage bel ,pulse detection so bad!

Any fan of driving knows that getting into a fast car and letting the rubber meet the road is one of life’s greatest guilty pleasures. The sound of the wind breaking as the car screams down the roadway and the feeling of going fast is what many drivers live for. However, those plans can be derailed if the car isn’t equipped with a top-of-the-line speed detector. Speed detectors, especially those that are GPS enabled, make for a better driving experience on the road. Here are just some of the many reasons why:

1.    GPS technology is used in the GPS radar detection systems because it can track the rate of speed of the vehicle. Going above and beyond the speedometer’s functionality, this speed tracker actually alerts the driver when they are approaching dangerous speeds and are likely to get nabbed for speeding by a police radar gun. This feature is great because the driver can adjust modes when the speed will be changing to eliminate the danger of receiving a speeding ticket. These units generally refer to this option as “city mode” and “highway mode”.

2.    GPS radar detectors help with 360 degree protection for radar and laser bands. Covering a full circle of protection around the vehicle, these devices actually scan in all directions no matter which direction the vehicle is driving in. This means that long-range protection is even more reliable than ever before. Yesterday’s single beam of protection is old news; enter today’s 360 degree protection!

3.    False alarms can make using speed detectors a real hassle. Some drivers report that their units give false alarms so frequently that they simply shut them off when driving – out of frustration! This is not what hard-earned dollars should buy you in a radar detector. Instead, choose a unit, such as the GPS-enabled Escort Passport 9500ix, that offers false alarm protection. This means that “other” signals such as car alarm systems, automatic door, and garage door openers are no longer sources of false alarms.

4.    GPS speed detectors generally cost a bit more than their lacking counterparts…and for good reason. One of the most important features in a radar detector is its ability to warn the driver so they can slow down. With a unit like the Escort Passport 9500ix, for example, clear and audible voice alerts sound to warn the driver of a police signal or speed trap coming up. This gives the driver plenty of time to slow down. Further, these GPS-enables units also come equipped with the ability to warn drivers of red light cameras and speed cameras!

5.    Last, but not least, is the speed detectors’ ability to pinpoint where a car is on the road and alert the driver to the exact location of a stationary speed trap. These red light cameras and speed cameras are being installed in large cities and small towns alike, so knowing when one is approaching makes all the difference! With the added bonus of an existing pre-programmed database of thousands of locations of speed traps in North America, this GPS radar detector is king!No matter what type of budget you’re working with, for around $500 you can have the very best in GPS radar detectors on the market today. With all of the features and benefits they offer a driver, who wouldn’t opt for one of these versus the “standard” radar detectors out there?

Though many of us would love to move at supersonic speed, evading those who desire to slow us down, we can’t. But we speed demons and electronic enthusiasts alike can enjoy evading the radar gun with popular detectors from Whistler, Escort, Cobra, BEL, and Valentine.

With over 12 models, including one for European models, Whistler is a viable option for a great detector. The under $100 DE 1734 features mute, manual mute, and settings memory. With four operating modes, two which effectively limit urban false alarms, this model has excellent audio and laser sensitivity. Though not a leader in its class, Whistler definitely meets up to its low cost expectation. It has fallen short in a couple of realms, however: like many models, inVG 2 detection. The DE 1734 will detect VG 2, the fuzz will have detected this buster far beyond the Whistler’s detection capabilities.

The popular Cobra detectors utilize a high sensitivity feature while in the “highway” mode. Though Cobra claims to produce few false alarms, engaging this feature takes time, and even then, it does not always work. This product clearly has imperfections, for example immunity from VG 2 systems have failed with the Cobra XRS 9300.

The newer styles feature 11or 10 band extra sensory radar and laser detection, a 360 degree view, and 8 point electronic compass. Cobra also claims that it can detect X band radars, K band radars, and Ka Super wide radars. The newer models promise better features with relative proximity to the radar along with the option to select operating modes, thus reducing false alarms in densely populated areas.

Passport’s most popular model, the 8500 X50, detects K band and Ka band radars and comes with a myriad of features: a 360 degree radar and laser detection radius, advanced reprogrammable digital signal processing, an Auto Sensitivity mode to automatically reduce false alarms, three high resolution meter modes, an ultra bright matrix display with 280 LEDs, multiple high performance laser sensors, and a built in earphone jack. Immune to VG 2 systems, this Escort has nine menu options, offering adjustability and excellent signal processing.

Another under $100 model, the BEL 925 offers one of the best price/performance ratios of all detectors. Owners can adjust volume easily thanks to BEL’s radio sensitivity. With a variety of settings for driving environments, users can program this model easier than earlier BEL models by using the seven user selectable options. By pressing a pair of buttons simultaneously, the user can enter the program mode quickly, and then utilize one button to scroll through menu items.

Popular among detector veterans, Valentine has fallen among disrepute for rookies for a few reasons. Many have difficulty discerning the difference between the signals for K and Ka bands. Additionally, the Valentine lacks text display, voice alert, and a tutorial mode. Users also report a high number of false alarms and many become confused by the outdated user guide. So why get a Valentine? It still has two to three times the detection range of other brands.
