I recently upgraded from a Beltronics RX65 Pro to a Escort 9500ix recently. Pull the trigger on the Escort and don't look back. The detector is REALLY good.
I recently took a trip, to Silverlake in Mears MI, which involved some highway driving for some extended of time. I picked up a K band signal from a cop's car. A chirp from the radar. I checked my speed back to 70mph from 75mph. The signal progressively got stronger. After about 5min, not exaggerating, I finally see a State Trooper's vehicle in the median clocking cars. How many miles away did the radar pick up the signal?
