Beltronics GX 65

1. Veil Guy Blog

The Beltronics GX 65 is on the short list of recommended radar detectors at this website, whose author sells a laser light-absorbing spray for cars. In this single-product test, the reviewer says the GX 65 seems to be better at detecting laser guns than the older Beltronics RX 65. But in an earlier blog post, he noted that for a bit more money, you could get the Escort Passport 9500ix with its bonus AutoLearn feature.

Reviewer Craig Peterson tests the Beltronics GX 65 along with four other GPS-equipped radar detectors. Although he has no complaints about the GX 65's performance, one of its cons is that it is "priced very close to the Escort 9500ix."
