One of the BEST Radar Detector Radar Roy has ever tested!

The BEL RX65 is the most advanced radar, laser and safety detector ever designed by Beltronics.

The BEL RX65 includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System radar capability, front and rear laser detection, digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range and reduced false alarms, our patented Mute and AutoMute, audible and visual band alerts, and all the performance you'd expect from Beltronics.

Bel RX65 comes complete with a comprehensive owner's manual, quick-release windshield mount, built-in earphone jack, a coiled SmartPlug™ power cord, quick reference card, and a travel case. This is a great choice for the motorcyclist that wants to us an intercom system.

(NOTE: The H.A.R.D. Helmet System will NOT work with the current RX65 radar detectors. H.A.R.D. engineers are working on this issue at this time.)

THE BEST RADAR DETECTOR EVER!!!!!

"This is the best radar detector ever!! I first bought the top of the line cobra, and discovered that all cobras are horrible!!! A waste of money. Then when i discovered this website i read up on the RX65 and the 8500X50 and was torn between the two, so i bought them both. I used eachone for a couple of days and decided that the RX65 was the best one. I threw the 8500X50 in my girlfreinds car so she would enjoy i..." Read Full Review »

How can I be sure if it is working well?

"I have had the BEL RX65 for almost three years. Bought it with my American Express card so that I would get an extra 1 year warranty. Just after two years the unit would go into the "CALIBRATION 3" mode intermittently and then "SERVICE REQUIRED" warning would come up. It is currently in Beltronics repair. There have been many times when my vehicle has been just a few feet away from a police cruiser or police..." Read Full Review »

"The venerable RX65 is middle of the road these days, but for the price it's still well worth it. Performance on Ka, including 35.5, is superb. Instant-on is above average also. If I have one major complaint it's the off axis detection on the newer M4 design, the RX65 can have issues on windy road …"  Read Full Review »

"Best radar detector I've ever owned. I've turned off everything but Ka and Laser as I don't exceed the speed limit but on long boring stretches of highway/freeway. There are no false alarms ever. If it chirps you hit the brakes, simple as that. Easy to mount with the little sticky bubbles. I al …"  Read Full Review »
