Im looking for a new radar detector?

Question

Ive been looking at a few. The Bel rx65, bel v965, or the excort x50. ANy i can find within 250 online. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The best windshield-mounted radar detector in independent tests by Speed Measurement Labs and 1stRadarDetectors.com is the Beltronics STi Driver. The Bel STi Driver provides the best detection over the greatest distances with the least number of false alerts and 100% invisibility to police radar detector detectors. The Valentine One radar detector comes in a close second, with the following 3 radar detectors rounding out the top 5 radar detectors in the world: Escort Passport 9500i, Escort Passport 8500 X50, and Beltronics Pro RX65. See the source link for a comparison and links to these products.

However, you won't find an authorized dealer who would sell any of these units for $250 or less. If you buy from an un-authorized dealer, you will be sorry. Your best bet in your $250 price range is the Beltronics Vector 965, which is already on your list.

If you are concerned about police laser (LIDAR), your only alternative is a laser jammer. Most radar detectors will detect police laser, but by then it's already too late. 0.2 seconds under the laser and your speed is recorded. A laser jammer detects and jams the laser gun, allowing you time to adjust your speed if necessary. Like radar detectors, laser jammers are also legal in nearly every state. However, there are no laser jammers made within your $250, so keep your eyes open for laser jammer traps!
