Passport 8500 radar detector for sale
I bought this detector I forget when exactly but haven't used it for more than a summer. If I recall it was over $300 new, I'm thinking $175 obo. Detector has red display, windsheild mounting bracket with suction cups and DC adaptor for cigarette lighter.

No it isn't.... and...here's the comparison...
8500 vs. 8500 X50
The 8500 and 8500 X50 are very similar with only a few differences. The processor is supposedly different so the 8500 cannot be flashed to the same firmware as the X50.
The X50 adds a slightly noticeable increase in Ka band and a new feature called "POP."
"POP" is a new feature that was added (and turned off by default) to counter act police pulsing the Ka guns. The pulsing can make many detectors either miss the signal or show a weak signal. The problem with "POP" is that it WILL false often when turned on. And if you're speeding make your stomach drop when you hear it.
Other than that feature the detectors have amazing range and are pretty customizable...
