Oh, I see. I would get one but whenever I've had one I always get pulled over, since I got rid of it I haven't for about 11 years.

Iv had good luck with them. Its funny because i don't really speed all that much, i just like the early warning/peace of mind. Also i love watching people fly by me when i get a "Ka" warning and then up the road i see them pulled over or watch them slam on their brakes when they see the cop
If nothing else RD's provide me with entertainment

I will. Probably tomorrow afternoon if no one beats me to it. Gotta see. I have lots I want to buy and I gotta figure out what's more worth it.
What's the diff between the Red and Blue? Why the price diff on the website?

Only difference is the color. Blue led's must be more or something. But they are 100% identical in specs, just the color of the display is different.

No worries! I want the same thing.

1. Yes, the blue LEDs are more expensive to produce than the red, thus the difference in price. Same thing with the WHistler Pro-78 I run -- its blue LEDs are more expensive than the XTR-690's LCD screen, so the RD is more, even though they perform the same.
2. Getting tickets while using an RD is a matter of using it wrong. When I got my ticket back in March, the RD was warning me the cop was there. I chose to ignore it because I thought it was the airport radar. So I booked up over a hill and there he was, waiting for me. Had I paid attention to bitchin' Betty, I'd have been OK. You should never speed if in the lead. Never speed over hills or around curves. And always listen to the RD when it says "Ka!"
3. The X50 is a GREAT RD. Matt (Memphis) runs one I believe, and I think Al (Goldrocket) does too. His might be the non-X50 version of the 8500. GOod price. It would go for $250 on Ebay, easily.
4. Andrew let me know how you like the V1 when you get it. I've heard they are very chatty RDs. Lots of false alerts and only so-so filtering of false signals. But they have hands down the best sensitivity in the business and those directional arrows are great for situational awareness.

And remember, the X50 can be setup to display the car's voltage as well- no need for a voltage gauge.
