**price dropped**
Up for sale is my radar that I've had for about a year or so,
it's been on the windshield most of the time, so there's really
nothing to worry about damage-wise. Reason I'm selling this
is because I need to get the RB smogged, and well I'm sure you
know how that goes. The radar is the model with blue LEDs,
it comes with power cord, windshield suction cups, and the box.
It retails for somewhere around $340, but all I'm asking is
$200 picked up, I'm open to offers but I'm not desperate
to sell, so stroll along 50% off lowballers. I've included some
pictures of it at the bottom for those interested.
here's some information I've found:
The Escort Passport 8500 Just Got Better!
Introducing the all new ESCORT Passport 8500 X50 - the most
advanced and sophisticated detector ever!
There's never been a detector like the Passport 8500 X50, and
it's available in high-intensity red display.
Passport 8500 X50's patented Auto-SensitivityT mode intelligently
distinguishes real threats from other known sources of radar -
virtually eliminating false alarms. Conventional Highway and City
modes are also provided.
Passport 8500 X50's on-board computer can be reprogrammed to
detect new radar and laser threats, making it a solid investment.
*** The blue display does cost more because of the additional
expense in making the blue LED lights. There is NO DIFFERENCE
in performance. ***
-With 360 degree detection, radar signals are detected from any
angle Detects "Instant-On" and POP Mode signals to adjust
speed as necessary
-Programmable to show geiger style alert scale or the actual
band width number
-50% greater range than original 8500
-Mute a radar signal with the simple push of a button using
SmartCord
-SmartShield® VG-2 Immunity prevents law enforcement from
knowing that you are using a detector
-Built-in earphone jack for use with your motorcycle
-Popular Mechanics called it "state of the art" and Motor
Trend said it is "at the top of the pyramid for overall radar and
LIDAR detection"
Details
X-treme Radar Range!
The Passport 8500 X50's new "V-Tuned" radar receiver provides
extreme range on all radar; conventional and "instant-on" including
POP mode, X-Band, and up to 50% more range on the all-important
K and Ka bands than the original Passport 8500.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provides maximum range, with
minimum false alarms.
New High-Performance Laser!
Passport 8500 X50's multiple high-performance laser sensors provide
maximum laser warning, with superior off-axis protection. For the
ultimate in laser protection, the Passport X50 may be paired with
the Laser Shifter ZR3 .
3 High-Resolution Meter Modes
The Passport 8500 X50 provides 3 types of meter displays: standard
bar graph, exclusive ExpertMeterT, and our new SpecDisplayT.
In ExpertMeterT mode the Passport X50 can identify band and relative
signal strength on up to radar 8 signals simultaneously.
Or, choose our new SpecDisplayT and Passport X50 will show you
the actual frequency of the radar signal.
Comes Fully Equipped
Passport 8500 X50 comes complete with a comprehensive owner's
manual, quick-release windshield mount, built-in earphone jack,
a coiled SmartCord, quick reference card, and an Escort travel case.
A great choice for the motorcyclist that uses an intercom system.
