Popular Mechanics
"Escort has come up with a state-of-the-art detector..."

Hailed as the most revolutionary radar/laser detector ever. The Passport 8500 X50's new "V-Tuned" radar receiver provides extreme detection range on all police radar; conventional and "instant-on" radar, including the new POP mode radar threat, X-Band, and up to 50% more range than the original Passport 8500 on the all- important K and Ka bands. Digital signal processing (DSP) provides maximum range, with minimum false alarms.

The Passport 8500 X50 includes our proprietary Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software to eliminate false alerts.
