For $139 you can ship your RX 65 and they'll replace the antenna, upgrade your software and recalibrate it and ship it back to you making it a Pro 300 for less than half of purchasing a new one. Also those of you who have done your research will find that BEL and ESCORT are essentially the same company and sell almost the same radars. You will find that Escort 8500 x50 and Bel RX 65 (now Pro 300) and Escort 9500ix and Bel Pro 500 are just about the same detector performance and feature wise. Unless you opt to go with their absolute top of the line models which only have very slight variations. In my opinion either will do the job just fine unless you're just driving with no regard for po po and that crazy stupid thing they use to regulate our inner James Bond or Nathan Hunt urges called a speed limit..

Yes, my 8500ci has saved me on numerous occasions. As others have stated, if you are the lead dog way out front by yourself, trigger/POP/Instant on is gonna nail you......................... for me it's a combination on knowing how to drive with the detector and knowing the local speed traps so "if I am the lead dog, I slow down to be safe just in case he's hiding around the corner.
