Escort Passport 8500 x50 Rev5 vs 6.1 vs 6.3 Radar Detector Reviews

[CJR238]

We all know the rev5 was all but perfect but how does the 6.1 X50 compair to the 6.3 X50?
some differences between the rev 5 & 6.3 are: horn design (M4 vs S7) and the ramp up on the 6.3 seems more like the active ramp up of the 9500I.
If anyone knows about the 6.1's behavior or comparison to the 6.3 or has something to add, please do so.

GO REV 5 X50!

My thoughts exactly!!

Yes we all know the rev5 was one of the best, im talking about differences in the 6.1 and 6.3. The rev5 is so long gone im sure it’s frustrating not being able to get one and that’s what everyone talks about.

In all honesty my S7 design and M4 seem to be on par with the M4 having better detection on KA and a little less on K.

Anyone know the difference between the 6.1 and 6.3? I want to see what Escort has been doing to change/improve. I have my own theory but the rev6.1 is the missing link.

And yes, you still can get X50's that are Rev 5's, you really have to hunt for them. They are out here, just hard to find!
