The Escort 8500, also called the Escort Passport 8500, has been upgraded to the Escort 8500 X50, or, if you like, the Escort Passport 8500 X50. But it is not just the name that has been upgraded, the new Escort 8500 has been enhanced internally too. The Escort 8500 has an enhanced data range on all radar frequencies.
The “V-tuned” detector makes use of an ultra-modern microwave receiver and in-house software for high sensitivity on conventional and “instant-on” radar bands. The Escort 8500 also offers more range on K-band and Ka-band laser.
The Escort 8500 has two modes of operation, the city and the highway modes to keep you fully defended to the front and rear of your car at all times. The warnings are audio and visual, although there is also a mute button in case you find the audio warnings off-putting. The escort 8500 will automatically detect radar and laser signals on three bands, namely the X Band, the K Band and the Ka Band.
The Escort 8500 permits you to either maintain the factory default settings or to programme the unit to your own requirements. A new user may find that manually programming the 8500 could get a bit confusing at first because of its wide assortment of alternatives, but with a bit of practice, almost anyone can learn how to programme it on the first day of ownership.
However, if you have any problems with the setup of your Escort 8500, it comes with a very informative and helpful operator’s manual and it may even save you on your auto insurance.
