I, too purchased the Beltronix RX65 and am very happy with it. It consistently picks up the Ka band that cops use out here. The only downside is the number of false-positives you get from laser; however, I suspect that's a problem common to radar detectors in general given the nature of light sources. On a very bright day, I get laser chirping when the sun glints off of a clean car in front of me. But then again, laser detectors have limited use since laser guns are narrow beam burst effect weapons. If your detector picks it up, chances are you were already hit.
