Hey, umm, new guy?
Before you decide to go spouting off in an attempt to appear as if you actually know something?
Try to actually know something first.
You're absolutely correct in one respect - the X50 is an Escort product.
Beltronics' top dog until the release of the STi Driver model, was the Pro RX65.
Guess what the Bel RX65 Pro and the Passport X50 have in common?!?
EVERYTHING (excepting the case)
Bel and Escort are the same company ever since Cincinnati Microwave bought out Beltronics.
The internals on the RX65 and the X50 are identical.
Just the casing and the placement of the buttons are a bit different - plus the X50, obviously, is available with a blue display.
Next??
