Escort makes the best Radar Detectors hands down. The Escort 8500 X50 was the king of the hill for the longest time. The only difference i can really notice with the latest generation models is all the extra nonsense added to them...GPS enabled....False Alarm...etc..get the 8500 X50....all you can really use Radar detector for is Freeway Radar. In the US Hwy Patrol uses Ka Band. Block all other frequencies because they are useless. That way when it goes off its 100% a cop. Also, radar detectors are USELESS against biker cops in the city because they use INSTANT ON LIDAR. What that means the device stays off...the cop aims at you...pulls the trigger..it turns on for a split second, grabs your speed then turns off. By the time you get a signal its too late.
Again, Escort 8500 X50...all the other detectors have these fancy new titles and detection gimics... the V1 arrows are a marketing ploy...does it really matter what direction the radar is coming from...either way you are going to slow down until the signal is gone.
my two cents
