Default X-50 at it again..!

X-50 at it again! Yet another save for the books from the escort x-50. It sure seems be dominating ka band like never before. Belscort sure did my x-50 right for once. I am afraid to send this unit back for it's 6 month checkup, as it's working FLAWLESSLY..?

It once again saved me from a lidar speed trap. Impressive to say the least.

Not to mention off axis 35.5 by 1.9 miles through buildings, trees and around a 90 degree curve, and then up the road by about 1/8th of a mile. My jaw hit the floor mat as I was in utter disbelief. Due to the fact that we all know how hard 35.5 is to detect, especially off axis. Not to mention around brick buildings, pine trees, leaved tree's etc.

I guess WOW backwards is still spelt WOW!

Got to love the new M4 horn... It looks like the 9500I's extra sensitivity trickled down to the X50.
Sweet save!

Umm, the x50 was the original platform for the 9500i. If something was taken from a detector, the chip/horn was taken from the x-50 to the 9500i not the other way around. Now the 9500i having a new horn. That was designed for 9500i later on.

Although yes, it still was a great save thanks, and i'm still staring at my x-50 in shock. With a big ? . I guess the rev. 5 x-50 lives on, and up to it's name.

I know the M4 started with the X50, but when the 9500I became more refined with the ramp up fix, Escort did something to it to improve its sensitivity over the X50. I’m theorizing that now the M4 X50's and 9500I's will have similar sensitivity.

Do you really send it in every 6 months for a checkup?
