Let me be blunt: the Escort Passport 8500 X50 is the BEST radar/laser detector ever created. If you think I'm exaggerating, take a look at the reviews by every major auto magazine and radar testing organization out there. They all agree that Escort's years of experience, cutting edge technology, and attention to detail produced the most effective radar/laser detection device available today. A significant leap forward from the extremely popular Passport 7500, the 8500 X50 performs exceptionally well even in the toughest condition. This detector can alert you to laser and radar threats up to 3 miles ahead, while drastically reducing the number of false alarms you get. In independent tests, the Escort 8500 scored the highest marks of any unit in the instant-on category which is one of the toughest radar situations to recognize. And the 8500 X50 has an advanced digital signal processor that can be reprogrammed; as radar threats change, your X50 will be able to adapt.
