The false alerts that some reviewers report are more than likely due to this. I decided to review it. If you are the lead car of a group (which I try not to be), or on your own, both POP radar and laser are a definite danger with any detector. I have found it to be bullet reliable and plenty loud. X band and K band are common in other than enforcement uses. This thing saved my bacon on a recent cross country trip on I-70. Not so.
The laser warning went off and I almost thought it was a false alert until I cleared some trees. The patrolman had apparently targeted a vehicle that was 1/4 to 1/2 mile ahead of me and the RX65 picked up the signal (from scatter I assume). I have had this detector for years now and was preparing to buy another for my motorcycle. The options are great including dark mode for nighttime driving. (Keeps it from being seen at night and provides eye relief). You can also shut it up, which is great when you are on the same road as a traveling radar patrol car. Fixed ambushes are another story because of POP and laser, but as reported above, it still gives you a fighting chance. I am confident that you will never be surprised by any moving patrol using radar.
Some of the reviewers have said that you are dead meat by the time the laser detector goes off. KA detection is great and a lifesaver. The advantage of this detector is that it is so sensitive that it can pick up POP that was directed at another vehicle far away. It is as good as you are going to get. KA is low power and harder to detect effectively. Every passenger who has ever experienced it while riding with me has said they have never seen a better unit, period.
Not effective at all on "pop" type radars. (Can't see how any detector could be). Has broken down 3 times. I would not buy this product if I knew then what I know now.
This thing works great. Picks up the cops from about 2 miles away around turns over hills it's just a good radar over all. I've had other radars in the past from escort, but did not have as many features than the bell and for half the price. Great radar would recomened to anyone
This Radar Detector works. It saved us from getting several speeding tickets on our 15 hour drive to Florida. Best Radar Detector I've ever had.
I purchased one a few years ago for my truck. My wife needed one for her car recently, so I purchased another one. It is a great radar detector and would purchase them again in the future and high recommend them to anyone.
