One thing to note is that Beltronics now owns Passport.




Im just tryin to be clear here, are you saying beltronics now owns escort (makers of the passport radar detectors) or beltronics now own passport (as a model) and escort is free to develop another radar detector. In other words escort makes passort radar detectors, so what is it they now own?
what ever the case maybe, i guess it now makes sense why the escort 8500 has dropped in price suddenly, without any signs of a successor.
and thats why i bought the beltronics 985, because it was the best bang for your buck, coming in 3rd to the valentine one and passport 8500. And i am happy with it.
