Very, very happy with the escort 8500 here. Got the blue readout to match my blue interior. Silly use of $50, but there you have it.

ive got the silver bullit but im thinking of replacing it with the valentine one. it was supposably rated #1 . one thing to remember the price of a good radar detector is the price of a ticket.
Before I got this car I ran with the Passport cordless models. I knew I would need the absolute best for this beast and bought the top of the line BEL built-in system with front and rear mounted jammers and remote. Little green light on my speedo is the only thing you'll see. Also has a little speaker underneath the dash that alerts you with sound and signal its receiving. Kinda pricey at $1500 plus installation but one ticket at the wrong time more than justifies the cost.

I love my solo s2 cordless by escort. The price is around $329 but well worth it. No cord to deal with and can use it on my sportbike also. The 2 AA batteries last around a month. Great protection for ( x, k, ka, and laser) . Has saved me many tickets in the last 2 years and has paid for itself many times over.

V1 here!
I have a Bel RSX-65. It works well but.........in these days of pop radar and laser, a detector may help you some of the time. It is far from "protection".
Your best defense lies between your ears.
Your best defense lies between your ears.
- Scan the road as far ahead as you can see.
- Be aware of hillcrests, depressions, and curves that provide hiding places.
- Be aware of other terrain features like turnarounds in the median strip that are favorite parking places for threats.
- Utilize a rabbit (some poor sap) in front of you as a mine sweeper.
- Pay attention to radar alerts in locations you don't normally detect them.
- Pay attention to alerts in locations where you have come to expect them. They can be used to mask new real threats.
- Stay out of the left lane except to pass and stay in a line with traffic ahead of you when possible.
- Etc..........

I have a bel vector 945 and it works great.
Awesome range, little falsies, and < $200 i believe.
I tested it in the same car a escort 8500 (blue one) and they worked pretty much the same.
The escort had a few less false alarms but the important bands were the same.
HTH.

I have a V1 and a Bel. The Bel detects about as well as the V1, but I find the additional info about which directional information that the V1 provides at least as valuable in sorting all the junk from the real thing - and spotting him before he spots you!
