After seeing how well it worked, my husband wanted a radar detector of his own. Of course after 6 years, the model I own is no longer available. So I purchased this one with the same expectations...
It works great! My husband has driven over 2000 miles with his new radar detector on all sorts of various roadways (interstates, cities, country roads, etc.) and hasn't gotten any speeding tickets. We don't understand how to use all the features this model has - I think its compatible with some sort of GPS app. We plugged the radar detector in directly out of the box and leave it in "Auto" mode. It has worked great!
I especially like the Mute button - great for when you're having a conversation or on the phone. This model also automatically gets quieter after the initial beeping.
The only bad thing about this unit is that it doesn't save your false alert, so if I drive past the same grocery store, it will beep each time because of the electronic doors. I just reach over and mute it but it can be annoying. You can set it to automatically mute after it beeps but I would rather have it beep like crazy instead of muting itself and I miss the alert because I was on the phone or the music was playing. I would recommend this detector. Escort is great company and customer service answered my questions.
Two things; it has fallen off the window mount quite a few times, which leaves it swinging by the cord, which will affect the wires' life-span, I'm sure.
Secondly; the buttons are smaller and closer together than my last detector, which makes it difficult to turn off or adjust from the drivers' seat. Otherwise, good product.

This is very quiet now on K, and I suggest you configure it as follows.
TSR ON (helps with traffic sensors and BSMs)
RDR Off (no need to have on if KaN2 is off- turning off will boost Ka range)
KaN2 OFF (police don't operate on this range- only Ka 33.8, Ka 34.7 or Ka 35.5.)
Run in AUTO mode around town to add another K band filter for false alerts (urban areas with shopping centers)
If you leave the default setting of Ka superwide band on, you may get a few Ka falses (34.5 and 34.491 ghz). Segment Ka and turn KaN2 off, and those false alerts will go away. Turn "spec" mode on, and you can see the frequency and signal strength at the same time. See attached photo.
While it's not 100% quieter on K false alerts from BSMs, I would say its around 75-85% better compared to 0% with the old X50. With TSR on, it is 100% quiet for traffic road sensors.
