It's a crazy difference isn't it? I wasn't convinced until I tried it for myself either.

hey guys , i jus bought the x50 blue light , i don no how to use it lol, ok so waht is x and wat is k ? can some one show me how to use those ? thanks

[domination88]

X is an old radar band not used in most places. Check to see if it's used in your area, if not, turn it off (follow instruction manual, hold down the city and dim buttons on top of the detector until it enters setup, toggle to Bandsmod and turn off X using the mute button). K band is another form of radar, it is still widely used by police but many electric door sensors (petrol stations, shopping centres etc)emit the same band and make the detector alert (or 'false')

where can I buy the vertical mount?

[domination88]

I bought mine from Delonix Radar (google it). Very fast shipping to anywhere, online payment and it's professionally made (covered in plastic so it looks like a factory escort/bel bracket)

thanks for the vid mate - would this work with a beltronics STi - or any other radar detector?

[Boruta9]

thanks for the vid mate. unfortunatly they are currently out of stock! looks promising as i am only getting ~50m warning with my xr650 horizontally.

i see that it works in a straight line better but what about on a curve? same result?

i got told that there are 3 power settings on a multinova but now the operaters are getting sneaky they normally set it low thats how detecters have good range on some and not to good on others but having it vertical is a god send
