This guy speaks the truth. RX65 is a great detector that stacks up well against a lot of big dollar units. It uses an S7 antenna. The only issue is they are getting hard to find. Sometimes you can find them if you call beltronics and ask if they have them refurbed. Also, the older escort 8500 was a great detector as well as long as you get one with an s7 antenna. Beltronics and escort are the same company FYI.
I agree that a few listed already are top notch, But the Beltronics RX65 is a top notch no frills protector that can be had for a heck of a lot less, and when compared to the best only loses in areas where extra features are not available.
It's a great set up for those that can't spend $500 on a unit.
Worth looking at.

Sold my Escort 9500ix and bought Whistler's CR90 (GPS) great value for the money, together
with the CR85 (Same as CR90 but without GPS) represents the best value/performance on radar detector reviews.
Needed 2 detectors and selling the Escort paid for 2 very good alternatives.
In 2014 the Whistler XTR-695SE which ranked #2 in 2013 is superseded by the CR85.
Top end Escorts are arguably the best detectors but some mid priced RD's come very close in performance at a fraction of the cost.
