The king of all modern radar detectors.and I'm not basing this on just my own perspective, but to user feedback and product reviews, is the Escort Passport 8500 X50 radar detector, possibly the most efficient radar detector available to date. For over 25 years, Escort has been focusing on only a few of their products, further improving their design. The company has been constantly leading the car radar industry in both performance and quality, and the 8500 X50 is the pinnacle of their efforts.
Along with the 8500 X50's outstanding performance, it also includes Escort's ExpertMeter multiple threat display technology, which quickly detects and alerts to possibly 8 different radar threats all at the same time. The Escort Passport 8500 X50 is also equipped with an AutoSensitivity mode, which works by automatically adjusting the detection's sensitivity level, according to the driving conditions, this feature almost eliminates distracting, and potentially dangerous false alarms. This model is also fitted to detect the newly implemented POP mode radar.
This model Escort 8500 X50 features a clean bright blue display, and can also be purchased with a high intensity red display.
Modes of High-Res Display
The Escort 8500 X50 is featured with a clear and powerful display, which has 3 possible mode settings:
. Standard bar graph mode - the Escort 8500 X50 shows the band that was detected and a bar graph which signifies signal strength.
. ExpertMeter mode - the 8500 X50 identifies band and the relative signal strength of up to 8 radar signals all at the same time.
. SpecDisplay mode - the detector displays the band and actual frequency of the signal being detected.
Includes SmartCord MuteDisplay Power Cord
The SmartCord MuteDisplay accessory, which is included in the package, is a unique power cord fitted with a power-on indicator, an alert lamp that alerts of laser and radar, and a convenient mute button situated right on the lighter plug. It's the perfect accessory for any car when it takes too much effort in trying to reach the detector's mute button on the windshield. During discreet night driving, the Passport 8500 X50 detector can be set in dark mode, and makes use instead of the SmartCord MuteDisplay for visual alerts. With this feature, other drivers won't be alerted to your owning a detector.
Aluminum Travel Case
The Escort Passport 8500 X50 comes in a high quality aluminum travel case. This case is very durable and is perfect for storing your unit, which discourages possible car theft, or moving your radar detector and all its accessories conveniently from one vehicle to another.
