When the various radar detectors were reviewed and tested in 2006, there was one model that stood head and shoulders above the rest - way above the products from Beltronics and Valentine One was the Escort Passport 8500 X50.
This model passed every test that it was put through with flying colors.

If you are as serious about safety as you are about driving, then you need the Beltronics RX65 Professional Radar Detector . The Beltronics RX65 Features extreme sensitivity to all Radar and Laser bands with over 10 times the range of other imported detectors... |
Users from all over the world agreed that the results were indeed accurate and attested to the reliability of this radar detector.
The Escort Passport 8500 X50 has a very impressive range of technology for detection and it will allow you to customize the operation for your own personal style of driving.
This detector has lots of very useful features which include the LED display which shows you the safety warning system and has over sixty specific text messages to warn you of the upcoming hazards in the area. The Escort Passport 8500 X50 will work in the K band, Ka Band and X band and also the laser frequencies in addition to multiple sensors.
The display is a 280 LED matrix text, spec display, expert meter and a bar-graph. The expert meter display will inform you of the correct band frequency and also the signal strength relative to 8 radar signals. This can all be dome simultaneously with LED arranged in several columns each representing a separate signal. The Spec Display shows the number of the frequency of the signal detected.
There are audible alerts which will increase the volume as the signal gets closer. So as the signal gets closer, the volume gets louder. The sensitivity of the 8500 X50 control scan could be set to highway, automatic or auto sensitivity. Auto sensitivity will enable the system to filter out the back ground noise whilst still being able to detect the signals that come from the radar speed detectors.
The micro processor can be reprogrammed so that it could be used in the future should the technology of law enforcement change. This will allow the user to choose individual bands (on/off), choose a three meter display such as mute or auto mute in addition to two tone levels of audio. Incorporated in the design is a feature that will make it absolutely immune to a VG2 detector. The micro processor is suitable for easy upgrading and could work in the future with emerging technology.
The 8500 X50 has a convenient earphone with jack that is built in and a quick releasing mount for the windshield. It also has suction cups and a hardwearing travel case. There is a smart card that is a power cord that has an alert lamp, a pilot light along with a very good mute button.
