im looking for a radar detectors and i have narrowed it down to 2. anybody have either one of these and can give me a liitle info it?

BEL Pro Remote RX75

Escort Passport 9500i


Thanks!!

 

ive tried at least ten of them and the passport was one of them, but look into the valentine because those arrows are amazing!

 

lots of info here http://www.radardetector.net/

 

yeah the valentine is pretty tight, a little out of my price range though... i got a cobra which works pretty well

 

If you are looking at those 2, you have some money. I'd recommend the BEL product. Although escort is a VERY close second. Buy whichever you can get a better price on and like the look of better.

Quite honestly though, there may be things that you like better about one than another. One may detect better, the other may be louder. These aren't things that you'll know until you buy it. Get whichever is cheaper.

 

Escort and Beltronics are the SAME company. Beltronics bought out Escort from Cincinnatti Microwave about 10 years ago.

I personally like Bel's products, but Escort is just as good, it depends on what features you like. Both are excellent products.

 

go for the valentine, the extra money is worth all the extra features you get

 

i agree... Valentine One Euro Edition... best piece of equipment you could invest in

 

neither works in my area.all the cops use laser or pop.

I used an Escort and it saved me once out of 5 times. 4 tickets = almost $700 + escort $300

 

is what is in my tC, i have the 8500blue in my suburban... great stuff.

 

Have used the Valentine 1 for over 10 years. It's the finest unit on the market. It is built very well and will pay for its more expensive price many times over.

 

yeah laser, the only thing you could hope and pray for is that they laser cars in front of you and the detector gets a whiff of it before they hit you!

but having a good detector can make the difference even with laser.

 

i was also in the same situation recently about which Radar Detector to go with for my 07 FM TC, but thanks to some good comments posted i went with the Beltronics RX65 Pro Bel, and its a fine piece of technology. I bought it on ebay from an authorized dealer, you will find way cheaper prices from others, but they state in fine print that in order to give you that price they have to remove the seial numbers, and for warrantee..its not from bell, its from them, makes you kind of think ????. here is the listing for the one i bought, but they also carry many more brands. Mine was a little expensive, but i dont mind spending it for the great features it has check it out:

i have the escort, with the blue display.......... ill sell it to you?

 

i got the cobra XRS9700...works great. if your tryin to spend a lot more though the escort is real good

 

I have owned a V1 for about 7 years the really good thing about owning a v1 is, if they have an update you can send your radar detector for an upgrade for a small price. And it is the BEST RADAR DETECTOR out there periot.

 

I have the Bel v940 which is great for the price. I would stay away from Cobra though. Check out radardetector.net before you buy.

 

Escort Passport for the win. And btw Escort owns Bel

 

yup i know.. i posted that earlier ;)
