Beltronics BEL Vector 985: You Don't Need To Spend A Fortune To Evade Cops!
Beltronics is one of the biggest players in the radar detector market. Their Vector series is their highest end radars. I've seen the BEL 985 at a $329.95 MSRP, but the detector can actually be purchased for as little as $205. This makes it half the price of a Valentine One, and $100 less than an... Read full review »
Money well spent on the Bel 985
This radar detector excels at what it is supposed to do - alert you of police radar. I've had the 985 for about 6 months and 10,000 miles of driving, and overall I've found it to be a good unit. I bought it after owning the very similar Bel 980, which this model replaces. The major differences... Read full review »
Awesome Detector !!!!!
Hello Folks,
The results are in and they are not good but GREAT. I have had quite a bit of experience with detectors ranging back about 16 years ago. I have previously owned 3 top brand models that fell far short of my expectations. For many years I had given up on radar detectors completely...

Audible alert quit working after 1 year!!
After researching radar detectors on the internet and on Epinions, I purchased two of the Beltronics 985 Radar detectors for each car. Both worked for just over a year - conveniently the warranty was for a year as well. The first one stopped working about 4 months ago, the audible alert went... Read full review »
Bel 985- worth its price?
Note: This review was written during the summer of 2002 and not published until yesterday, but I still believe this is a pretty accurate review after having almost a year of experience with the 985.

Deserving to be among the top detectors.
I have owned a myriad of detectors over the past 20 years. I dropped my BEL vector in driveway and it dissassembled itself beyond repair. Purchased new BEL 985 as replacement.
Construction: This unit is very well built physically and ergonomically. Came packed in very nice aluminum case...

BEL Vector 985
This unit generally retails for $299, but I was able to pick one up for $250 new. I have previously owned the Passport 8500 and found it to be exceptionally good. After doing some research I decided to try the Bel 985. I like the black color as it blends with the dash.
This unit performs...

I thought it was invisible to detection!!!
Worked well while I had it; 3 weeks.
Got stopped by a OPP patrol car equipped with detection unit, not sure which, but does it matter?
There was no way he could have seen it at 11.30 pm on a dark highway in Ontario, Canada, so I know it must have been a detection unit of some kind.

City use
Difficult balance between sensitivity and "falsing". Great on highway but in the city, even on the reduced sensitivity "City All" mode, false alarm frequency is quite aggravating. Empirically, I am certain of radar in the area only when the warning level reaches 9. Also, I have mounted the unit... Read full review »
10 months with the 985 and no Tickets
I purchased the 985 in January 2003, and up until this month(10/03)it has performed flawlessly. I like the fact that it is so programmable. After about a month I turned the x-band off because I have yet to see a cop use x-band in Illinois.
Most cops in the states I have driven use K or...
