IN THE CITY, THE ESCORT 8500 CAME IN TIED WITH THE COBRA, AT DETECTING THE SPEED TRAPS THAT OUR LOCAL AND, STATE AUTHORITIES ARE USING, HOWEVER THE ESCORT WAS GIVING LESS FALSE TONES THAN THE COBRA GAVE. MAKING THE X50 A DETECTOR THAT “LEARNS”…

ON THE HIGHWAY TEST WE DID THE SAME THING WE TOOK NOTE OF TONES AND PAYED ATTENTION TO ALL ALERTS GIVEN REGARDLESS OF THE DETECTOR, WE PULLED OVER AT A TRUCK STOP AND COMPARED NOTES, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WE BOTH ARMED OUR DETECTORS TO ALERT AS AUTOMATICALLY AS POSSIBLE, OUT OF A LIST OF 50 ALERTS, BOTH IN CITY AND OUT, THE X50, GAVE 42% LESS FALSE ALERTS THAN THE COBRA, RANGE CAME IN AT ALMOST A TIE DUE TO HILLS, BUT THAT IS WHERE THE X50 SHINED, IT WAS ABLE TO SNIFF OUT SIGNAL FROM THE OTHER SIDE GIVING US TIME TO RE-ACT.

HIGHWAY RESULTS WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, HIS COBRA WAS ABLE TO PICK UP FIXED RADAR AND LASER POSITIONS WHERE MY X50 WASNT ABLE TO TELL ME, IT DID HOWEVER ALERT ME TO THE SITUATION.

SO THE TEST CONCLUSION, THE TOP-OF-THE-LINE COBRA, PITTED AGAINST THE X50 ESCORT, RESULTS ESCORT LESS FALSE ALERTS, BETTER SENSITIVITY AND RANGE, THE COBRA ACURATE AT FIXED RADAR/LASER SITES.

BOTH WILL ALERT UPON SIGNAL DETECTION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING A DETECTOR, AND FOR YOUR LIST OF FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTERS.

BECAUSE OF THIS BOTH THE COBRA AND MY X50, HAVE KEPT THE POLICE AT BAY, AND PAID FOR THEMSELVES, RELIABLY MANY, MANY TIMES OVER. OUR FAMILIES, THANK YOU.

I live in one of the two places where detectors are ilegal. I however, do a lot of road traveling and the cops are everywhere. I was thinking of a custom installed product. I have used escort radars before and have found their quality and performance superb. Would you recomend the QI45 or is there another product out there better for my needs?

BTW I once owned a radar from RMR and it was the biggest peace of junk that I have ever owned. They should be banned, no one should buy them. I cant tell they where cheap from the moment I opened the box. Please keep making people aware of the horrible quality.

Thanks
