radar detector

[aren040]

I may be mistaken here since I do not recall how long ago it was (measured in months) that I read an article in regards to this. But it looks like Escort will be releasing a new version that is supposed to be a significant amount better than the V1. I am not sure what the release date is or what the price is or anything else.

Also, take into consideration that most Leos are moving over into the lidar area and radar detectors are starting to become more and more useless. But for the time being I would go with the V1 if I absolutely had to.

They have a new 9500i detector. It has several new features, such as being able to memorize and filter known falses based on GPS location and signal type, while still detecting other signals in the same area. Also varying sensitivity based on vehicle speed, which basically shuts it down at parking lot speeds. I beleive it's $399.00.

I'm sold on their products, I really like my 8500 x50. Based on the fact that in a side-by side unplanned test between my 8500 and my friend's V1, I got a KA alert about 5-6 seconds before he did, I'll pass on the dubious advantage of the arrows and take the better sensitivity of the 8500. :dance:

just picked up the new excellence, and they have a whole page on the new escort, pretty neat, but i dont feel the need to upgrade and waste more money, but it sure does look promising

Thanks a lot for that. I knew I read something about a new one. Also if I remember correctly there was something about an expandable memory slot for something or another. I think it was wither CF or SD.
