Why we choose the Escort 9500ix as the best overall radar detector.

On our site we rate the Escort 9500ix as the best overall windshield mounted radar detector.  There are lots of best radar detectors for certain uses for example the Escort Redline is our best detector to use in areas such as Virginia or Washington DC but overall the Escort 9500ix would be the best detector for the majority of users.

The Beltronics GX65 would be very close the 9500ix but for only a few bucks more the Escort 9500ix adds the auto learn feature for automatically marking and ignoring false alerts which is a manual process on the Beltronics GX65.  With its high sensitivity and gps functions for marking and ignoring false alerts and also for giving you the ability to be warned of fixed speed cameras and red light cameras the Escort 9500ix cant be beat.

What is the difference between the Beltronics RX65 & Beltronics GX65 Radar Detector

We get asked this question almost daily so I figured I would spend a few moments to post the answer to the blog.  The Beltronics GX65 is based on the same platform as the Beltronics RX65 so when comparing the radar & laser performance they are virtually identical.  The GX65 adds an internal GPS antenna which basically takes the RX65 to new level with great advantages.

Having GPS the GX65 can alert you to red light cameras and fixed speed cameras by comparing your GPS location to the pre-installed coordinates of cameras across the US & Canada. The internal database is updateable via any PC computer with a USB port.  The 2nd advantage is the ability to mark and ignore false alerts.  The GX65 can memorize your GPS location and the frequency of the false alert so the next time you pass the false the detector will not alert you unless it see's some new activity at that same location.  This makes the GX65 much more quieter than the RX65.

Compare Beltronics GX65 and Escort 9500ix Radar Detectors

The Top 2 GPS enabled radar detectors are the Beltronics GX65 and the Escort 9500ix.  If you did not know already Escort & Beltronics are the same company and both of these items run on the same platform so performance is just about identical.  The key differences are mainly in small feature differences which I will clearly list for you.

1. Escort 9500ix has a Blue led screen while the GX65 has a Red led screen.
2. Escort 9500ix has voice alerts with a woman's voice, GX65 has a man voice.

But the more important difference is the Escort 9500ix has an auto learn feature where the detector will automatically mark and ignore false alerts for you.  On the Beltronics GX65 this is manual and you will press the mark button when you want the detector to memorize a false alert location.
