Q1: Dear Radar Roy, I am in the process of buying a radar detector from your web site, however, I have a question that I was hoping you could help me with. First, I have read just about everything on the site and have been wanting to buy for a long time now. Since heard so many good reviews from owners and sellers about Beltronics so I decided that I wanted a Bel detector. I am torn as to whether I should purchase the Bel RX65 or the Bel Vector 955. If it were just a couple dollars between the two it wouldn't be so much of a problem but we are talking about $150 difference. I want to be well protected but I'd hate to think that I am wasting money somewhere and its the difference between a 1/2 weeks pay and a full weeks pay. Between the two detectors is there a big difference in range, detectability or something that outshines the other? ANY help you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated!
A: Yes, there is a difference and that is in the tuning of the detectors and the programming. The main difference is that the 955 is tuned more for international use rather then the US on the ka bands. If you're strictly going to use the detector within the US, I would recommend the RX65. Another advantage of the RX65 is that you can program it for multiple boggie alerts. This isn't a big deal unless you are an advanced user.
Q2: I too am in the market for a good detector. I've been using a friends Valentine-1 on road trips, and Im starting to like that unit.I've been reading your site, and now I dont know what direction to go. My needs are; I like to drive fast on highways and open roads, I like the 360 coverage, and I like the false detection programs as well. I see a differences in pricing. I appreciate any assistance you can give on this matter.
A: At Radarbusters.com, we have tested and found that the high end Beltronics and Escort units simply have more advanced features that are as good if not better than Valentine 1, such as the GPS integration, that offer a higher return on your investment. If you want the best range, sensitivity, and filtering of false alerts, go with a 9500ix. Any Escort or Beltronics unit will perform....but if you want the best, go with the 9500ix.
