Review 1 of 6

Price Paid:  $65.00 from eBay ( new in the bo

Year / Model Reviewed:
 Escort 6800 new in box

Summary:
Well made radar detector and worth the price, I own some of the most expensive units on the market including the Valentine one radar locator, Escort 8500, Bel 985, not in the same league as the others.

Strengths:
Good X band range well defined seperate audio alerts, suction cup mount is among the best, radar detector can be removed with a push of the button on the top of the unit and mount stays attached to the windshield.

Weaknesses:
Weak at detecting K,and worse at detecting KA radar and if KA radar is used in your area you may want to buy the 8500 model, the Bel 985 and Valentine one are the best at detection K,KA radar.

Review 3 of 6

Price Paid:  $100.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
 passport6800

Summary:
i just recently purchased this 6800 from escort. It is a nice detector, but it seems very compared to the older 4500 i used to own from escort.I am giving it more time, i did get a great deal on this detector. I will wait a little longer to give it a overall test, but for the priceyou cannot beat this detector. At theb same time the 3 times i encounterd police radar and laser, it seemed very weak.

Strengths:
built solid, very nice looking unit, with all the escort details that im used to.

Weaknesses:
weak ka, and k

Review 4 of 6

Price Paid:  $180.00

Summary:
Good overall performer. Modest price. Well built. Highly programable. Exceptionaly easy to read display and sturdy mount.

Strengths:
Performance-to-price ratio. Despite what Ken (below) says it not only has city mode button but its even programable

Weaknesses:
Modest Ka performance. Idiots like Ken own it and can't see "CITY" button on top--then give it a bad review. Read the manual Ken, open your eyes-for god sake DON'T DRIVE!!

Review 5 of 6

Year / Model Reviewed:
 2000/Passport 6800

Summary:
It is a great detector for the price you pay. I paid $170 for mine. Although I know there are better detectors out there, they are also a lot more expensive. And the detector DOES have a city mode.

Strengths:
Good detector and price. Saved me a lot of times from the cops!

Weaknesses:
Not that great of range when it comes to K and Ka bands. X-band range is terrific. Rear detection is not that great.
