Escort Radar Detectors Exposed: Top 2 Features for 2009
When looking for a radar detector, drivers are usually looking for performance, bottom line. If the device can’t deliver what it says, then it’s not worth anything on the road. Take, for example, a laser detector that comes equipped with technology that can give you the longest range for radar detection. It should work for the distance it says it will scan for police radar and laser signals and should alert you with a clear indicator that you’re about to be tracked. Another great feature that comes with some of these devices is the ability to utilize GPS to tell the driver where red light cameras and speed cameras are mounted in their area. As those intersections and areas are approached, the unit gives a warning; the best are via a voice alert, to warn the driver of an impending scan. Here are some of the very best features in Escort radar detectors for this year.
Escort Passport 9500ix GPS-Enabled Speed Camera Database
The Escort radar detector line is really unsurpassed when it comes to features and performance. Remember that performance is the single-most important feature of a radar laser detector. One of the most sophisticated GPS-powered radar detectors on the road is the Escort Passport 9500ix. For just under $500, it has it all. The feature that deserves highlighting, however, is its speed camera detection capabilities. The unit has the best radar detector long-range protection against police radar and laser signals as well as for speed cameras and red light cameras.
Since these photo enforcement devices are popping up in new locations every day, how can a driver keep up? The answer is in the Escort Passport 9500ix database. It actually has thousands of known speed trap locations already programmed into it and the driver can add more as they are discovered. A link up to a subscription online is available so drivers can update their databases by synching up their device to the online update site. It simply can’t get any better than that! Well, actually it can; this detector just won the WIRED Magazine editor’s pick for August 2009!
Passport 8500 X50 Blue
When it comes to winning the contest for detection range, this unit takes the blue ribbon. According to the manufacturer’s site, this unit is “hailed as the most revolutionary radar laser detector ever.” Why, you may ask? Because the 8500 X50 has a special technology inside called a “V-Tuned” radar receiver to detect all police laser and radar. This includes protection from the new POP mode, the X-Band, and about 50% longer range than the original Passport 8500 for the K and Ka bands (the most important ones). This amazing long-range detection is possible through the device’s “digital signal processing” or DSP. Not to mention that this unit boasts minimal false alarms; something that can be very annoying in most other units.
For the very best in radar and laser protection on the road, the Escort radar detectors really outperform the rest. These special features and technology make driving in 2009 the best year for driving ever!
