Beltronics RX 65 Radar Detector

Beltronics Pro RX65 Radar Detector

Strengths: Very easy to use and install. Outstanding features that make this the one to own.

Weakness: None observed.

Identification distance is superior.(verified through real world usage) The digital voice , alert tones and visual display all function as described by the manufacturer. I have and currently do own other detectors and would rate this unit number 1.I recommend this model as the one to buy if you want the best !

Beltronics RX 65 Radar Detector

Strengths: Detects every band of radar used for speed detection, 3 modes of displaying radar (standard, technical, and threat display), sleek look, full 360 degree detection, owner manual very easy to understand

Weakness: SWS is a great idea, but I've never been in an area that's sent out SWS signals; obviously not a flaw of the radar detector itself, just that this SWS warning system should be more widespread!

A really great detector, top of the line in all ways, yet easy to operate. It has saved me several speeding tickets already on highway driving, including once where laser (which is notoriously difficult to detect) was being used at fairly short range! Certainly worth it's price (which CAN be found for less than $329 on one website) in savings on speeding tickets!

Beltronics Pro RX65 Radar Detector

Strengths: Easy to use Easy to find MUTE button Good Range Nice programmability

Weakness: A little big. Why can't they make a remote version with the same capabilities that doesn't cost $1K?!?!

Haven't had enough opportunity to test it's full range and sensitivity. That being said it appears to work very well detecting all bands. Easy to identify when it's X-band and discount the alarm. The voice is amusing but that can be truly annoying in city areas with all the alarm systems. Love the programmability! Don't want to hear the voice or don't want to even know about X-band - then go...

Beltronics RX 65 Radar Detector

Strengths: Can program off noisy power on sequence, can choose threat display or standard signal strength. Good at removing extraneous noise, has dark mode for night driving, voice alerts(programable off or on)

Weakness: pricey

Works well with the K band in my town. The alerts went off well within a half mile of two separate police cars with radar on my first twenty minute drive with the pro RX65. Can eventually program off radar bands not desired (Ku(European radar and satellite dishes)X,K,Ka,POP,LSR, SWS (Safety Warnings)

Beltronics RX 65 Radar Detector

Strengths: Sensitive, great range, construction, features, adjustability, voice, mute button on lighter plug adapter

Weakness: Sensitive, noisy, false alarms, little bulky (same as most)

My first detector in 1985 was a cheap Uniden that caught false alarms all the time, then around 1989 I stepped up to a Whistler Spectrum 2SE which was dead silent except when there was an actual threat, which it championed at following from a very long range, but it didn't have Laser detection so I reluctantly replaced it with another Whistler near their top of the line around 1998 (yes the 2SE...

Beltronics Pro RX65 Radar Detector

Strengths: Excellent detection distance and notification

Weakness: uses RJ11 Phone plug for power

Great detector! Easy to mount and remove. Nice color and easy to use options and features. Nice case for transportation, and the included cigarette lighter power plug has ability to mute the unit without reaching up.

Chillin on the HWY and Lovin it !

Strengths: Good sensitivity and range of detection Can use overseas Small indicator on the charger facilitate operating(don't have to reach all the way to the detector itself.

Weakness: Expensive Not a scientific test, but sometimes the unit (city mode) seems to give false K band alarms too easily near banks etc.. But maybe all manufacturers do that ??(I can't compare).

This BEL RX65 has picked up every single incident out there so far. It has made driving on the highways much more relaxing. Sometimes appears to give off a few too many false alarms in city mode, but that may not be any worse than other top brands (I have nothing to compare against). It has a solid build and great features that put the owner at peace of mind. Recommend highly!

Beltronics RX 65 Radar Detector

Strengths: It is an order of magnitude better that my previous detector (an Escort). I have had no false alarms either.

Weakness: None so far

The old detector (Escort) didn't detect the roadside speed displays until I was on top of them. Now I detect them before they are visible. The ability to display the different bands saved me last week. There was a K-band speed display running, but I picked up a tiny pip of Ka-band. I slowed down, and over the hill was a motorcycle cop who blasted me with instant-on radar. If you can't trust a...

Beltronics PRO RX65

Strengths: This detector is one of the best i have owned,it has great sensitivity and pickup,picks up all the latest bands.Auto volume control automatically lowers volume when a signal is detected.

Weakness: None to report

The Bel pro rx65 is one of the best on the market.I get fewer false readings than i have with other detectors.When this one goes off you can bet within 2 miles you are going to find the source.I have yet to be suprised or caught off guard since purchasing this unit unlike others that may not go off until it is too late.I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a top of the line...

Beltronics Pro RX65 Excellent Quality, Range, and...

Strengths: Detects police from as far as 10 miles away and farther! Good quality construction ensure durability. High mounting (as close to the top of the winsdhield as possible)= ecellent detection for hills.

Weakness: Does false on X band when city driving (Highly recommend turning it off as I did). Other than that perfecto!

I began using this detector on May 3rd, 2006 and already I am seeing the heart-attack difference from my Cobra XRS 9430 (Crap!) I mounted this detector as close and as high as humanly possible right under the rear view mirror to insure superior detection with hills and curves. I own a 1999 Camry LE for those wondering. The first hours and I mean hours it detected a total of 6 police cars and out...
