Escort Passport 8500

Same as my last posting. This is also about Detector. But for this time , this is from Escort. Here my review about Escort passport 8500 Detector.

Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar and Laser Detector (Red Display)

Technical Details

  • Sophisticated long-range radar and laser detector reads all police, conventional, and “instant-on” radar
  • Digital signal processing provides maximum range while minimizing false alarms
  • Identifies up to 8 radar signals simultaneously
  • Reprogrammable microprocessor can detect new radar and laser threats
  • Red matrix display with 280 LEDs; 1-year limited warranty

Product Description

Radar detector manufacturers are constantly playing a game of catch-up with new technologies designed to nab the lead-footed. “Pop” radar is a relatively new instant-on technology that may make a whole generation of radar detectors obsolete. These radar guns operate at low frequency until they are switched on to determine a driver’s speed with lightning-fast accuracy. This leaves a radar detector little opportunity to scan and detect the radar signal. Pop radar may sound ominous, but a new crop of radar detectors–including the Escort Passport 8500 X50–offer Pop radar detection. Escort claims that the 8500 X50 is the most powerful and advanced radar detector ever, with the supreme sensitivity required to detect low-frequency Pop radar.

The Passport 8500 has been hailed as the most revolutionary radar/laser detector ever. Now, Escort is raising the bar again. The Passport 8500 X50, the next generation of the 25-year-old favorite, is the most advanced and sophisticated radar and laser detector ever. The Passport 8500 X50′s V-tuned radar receiver provides extreme detection range on all police radar, conventional radar, and “instant-on” radar, including the new POP X band mode, and up to 50 percent more range than the original Passport 8500 on the all-important K and Ka bands. In addition, the detector’s digital signal processing (DSP) provides maximum range with minimum false alarms. The unit also includes a patented AutoSensitivity mode that intelligently distinguishes real threats from other known sources of radar, virtually eliminating false readings.

Passport 8500 X50′s multiple high-performance laser sensors provide maximum police radar (lidar) warning, with superior off-axis protection. The detector also offers three high-resolution meter modes–a standard bar graph, exclusive ExpertMeter, and SpecDisplay. In ExpertMeter mode, the Passport 8500 X50 can identify band and relative signal strength on up to eight radar signals simultaneously, while with SpecDisplay, the Passport 8500 X50 will show you the actual frequency of the radar signal. Adding to the unit’s versatility is a reprogrammable microprocessor, which can be re-worked to detect new radar and laser threats.

We used the 8500 on a 20-mile stretch of busy interstate and were impressed with the low number of false alarms we received. Again, this remarkable level of accuracy is due to the unit’s AutoSensitivity feature. While we encountered no police radar, other controlled tests of the 8500′s performance have put the reliable range of detection at 2 miles for all bands. Meanwhile, Pop mode tests place the reliable detection range between 500 and 1000 feet.

Features include:

  • 360-degree radar and laser detection
  • Advanced reprogrammable digital signal processing
  • AutoSensitivity mode automatically reduces false alarms
  • EZ-Programming allows instant customization
  • 3 high-resolution meter modes
  • Ultra-bright red matrix display with 280 LEDs
  • Multiple high-performance laser sensors
  • Built-in earphone jack
  • Completely immune to the VG-2 “detector-detector”
  • 1-year limited warranty

Pros

  • Well-designed controls and display features
  • AutoSensitivity feature greatly reduces false alarms
  • Highly accurate with massive detection range

Cons

  • Pop detection not enabled by default

What’s in the Box

Passport 8500 X50 radar and laser detector, quick-release windshield mount, built-in earphone jack, coiled SmartCord, quick reference card, travel case, user’s manual.

This keeps the amplifier performing at its peak level longer and prevents the amplifier from having to go into thermal shutdown due to overheating.
