I was not sure where to post this. Does anyone have any suggestions on a radar detector. I need something reliable but I have to have something that can take a beating (System). Im not real familiar with this. Thanks for all the suggestions

How much you got to spend?

A Bel RX-65 Pro for around $220 on ebay would be your best bet.

I use the Escort, and it has payed for itself many times over. They are also spendy though.

Dont buy off ebay because those are refurbished ones and will break down fast. I say save some money and buy a good rd. It pays for it self (trust me). I currently have the Escort 8500 X50 and it has literally paid for it self many times already. I have the blue one which costs $50 more because of the gas that makes the blue led is more expensive. If you want to wait a few more months then Escort is coming out with a new model the 9500i. This new model has new GPS technology that is not found in any other detector. Basically if you false in front of local grocery store because of the doors, you just set the rd to not go off for that specific false that it picks up. Dont expect it to be cheap because it carries a $500 price tag. The X50 is just as good and you can get the red one for $300. Beltronics RX-65 is essentially the same as the X50 but it also picks up the european Ku band that is currently not in use in the U.S. From all the tests that have been done between detectors, it is a good detector as well. It will run you around $340 I believe. Only comes in red color though.

As of now, there is still no equal.

GPS technology sounds cool, as long as it counts sources, and won't cover a false and a radar signal at the same time.

Beltronics RX75Pro (plus maybe?)

Will completely pwn all other mentioned in this thread.

Had a friend go from a Escort X50 to a Bel995, and like the Bel a lot better.

Beltronics is just superior IMO. Plus, they're like 20minutes from me. Their product speaks for itself.

Before buying any radar detector, find out what your local and state police are using.

Around here in MA a $35 radar detector is sufficient for me because they are still using K and KA band radar. My radar detector can detect their signals from around the corner (through trees.) It has save me a few times.
