Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $703.00 from Thomas Auto Sound

Year / Model Reviewed:
2006 Beltronics RX65 X 2

Summary:
Bought 2 of these new on 4-11-06. One failed within 30 days, and the other within 3 months. The way BOTH of them failed is that when you plug them in, the lights come on for a split second then they power off. No beeps are emitted. I called to return them and they said they knew nothing about the problem which I find VERY hard to believe since both failed the same way in two different vehicles. The cords are fine, I am using one of them on my old Passport 8500 to this day. The serial numbers on these units is a consecutive 2 numbers, so maybe it was the batch??? Who knows for sure. Turn around time is 20 days at Bell, so that is not great either. If you do buy these units buy directly from Bell because they try everything to get out of fixing the units. I paid 702.79 for these two RX65's that don't work and I will be sending them back tomorrow since I finally found my receipt. They would not even talk to me on the phone when I told them I could not find the receipt at first call a few months ago.

I would avoid these units and I should have stuck with the Passport 8500 that is still working great from 2001.

Strengths:
Work good when they work

Weaknesses:
they fail and bell is not easy to deal with

Review 3 of 8

Price Paid:  $215.00 from Ebay(Brand New)

Year / Model Reviewed:
2005 Beltronics RX65 4.0

Summary:
I have had all 3 top line radar detectors. The V1 1.8, The Passport 8500 X50, and this Bel RX65. They all have their ups and downs. If you are looking for the most consistant radar detector the RX65 is it. Less false alerts then the V1 and better features; like the display and easy programming. The X50 is the RX65's brother and they are very close in performance. But the RX65 has likeable features like voice alerts and a brighter display that the X50 doesn't have. NO radar detector will ever be able to save your butt when it comes to laser (most of the time) but the V1 is definitely the best at detecting Lidar bouncing off other vehicles followed by the X50. If laser is the biggest concern for you then definitely get the V1. The RX65 is also the cheapest of all 3. You can get them around 210.00 on ebay brand new. The range is great on all bands esp. KA band. You won't be disappointed

Strengths:
Great Range on all Bands esp. KA. Very bright display. Easy programming

Weaknesses:
Poor against Laser detection.

Summary:
Excellent. I've been using a friends on long trips across many states and never ran into any problems. After reading several reviews and checking on radartest dot com I decided to get one of my own because I've gotten so used to relying upon it. Excellent sensitivity, well worth the money.

Strengths:
peace of minds

Weaknesses:
none

Review 5 of 8

Price Paid:  $245.00 from eBay

Year / Model Reviewed:
2004 RX65

Summary:
The RX65 works amazingly well. The range and sensitivity on all bands (X, K, and Ka) will give the driver ample time to react to police radar. I turned off the annoying X band, and POP option. Police don't use X band to measure speed in Boston, MA.

Strengths:
It works very well.

Weaknesses:
None

Cobra, Uniden...both are sh!t.
