Beltronics RX55
Okay well after understanding my other radar does not have "POP" mode, I am looking for a midrange priced radar detector. Does anyone have first hand experience with the Beltronics RX55 as it has the new POP mode and seems to be just as good as the RX65 except for the filtering and european alerts.
I can get this for $169 new, which is a phenomenal price I think.

Can I offer a more reliable and proven independent source for radar detector testing?

2004 Annual Radar Detector Test Set-Speed Measurement Laboratories, Inc’s. Annual Radar Detector Test is set for June 11-13 in El Paso, TX. New radar and laser guns announced at the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police will be pitted against new radar detectors from all manufacturers. Laser countermeasures will be evaluated. A new radar detector-detector will be there along with many of the Girls of Radar. Radar and laser gun representatives along with officials from local and state police agencies have committed to attend. As is our practice, all radar and laser guns will be operated by certified police officers told to use the guns as they do each day in giving speeding tickets. A new 12 mile long range test course will be used to see who is the “Long Ranger” of radar detectors. Retail samples of the same models brought radar detector makers will be tested to compared their performance. Last year’s test was covered by Motor Trend Magazine , Playboy and Harley Davidson’s American Iron Magazine. Expect the results to be posted to www.speedzones.com by the end of June '04. Let the games begin and stay tuned to see who wins!

Also ex prelude, I dont understand the testings of radar roy as the rx55 and rx65 in my eyes should have the same performance as they use the same chips and components. I just thought the rx65 has features like european detection and a few small things that make it more expensive.

As Beltronics is now owned by Escort, I have to wonder if they would be selling an equivalent Bel model for $70.00 less than the Passport 8500 X50? Maybe.
