 Re: Radar Detector Review Escort Passport 8500 Radar Detector: mine goes off when i
This user obviously has not done his homework.
Such issues are common to many detectors, not just the x50 - although, to be fair, more Bel/Escort units are more sensitive to this than other makes.
However, this is both a known issue and carries with it many known cures.
Typically, this is NOT a problem with the unit in and of itself, but rather a "problem" with the VEHICLE (or the line to which the detector is tapped, or even a cigarette-lighter plug/12V plug malfunction) producing too much electrical (or, worse yet, RF) noise, causing the detector to false in this manner.
Just a bit of reading/research on-line would have easily solved this issue for this particular person.
