No Falsing but Poor for Photo Radar Detection
Pros
Highway use great, no falsing. Very good detection of K, Ka bands, ok for laser
Cons
No adequate warning provided for photo radar that operates on Ka band
Recommended it?
Yes
I have owned the X50 for one year now, I gave my wife my Bel 980.
The big difference between these two units is that the X50 rarely if ever falses whereas the Bel would regularly go off in the city and on the highway. The Bel seems to pick up other detectors operating out on the road.
The X50 does not pick up photo radar vans that operate in our area (Canada) until after you have gone by, the Bel would always give some advance warning, usually 20 yards. Fortunately, the vans are usually easy to spot, I guess I prefer less sensitivity to frequent falsing.
