Beltronics Vector 965

Pros: Execellent detection

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: This is the detector to get for added protection

Review: This is a review after using this detector for two months. If you are shopping for a Radar detector this is an excellent buy and well worth the money. You will find out the very first time it saves you and you find that you had time to monitor your ...

Pros: Reliable, excellent sensitivity and settings. Excellent cord and connection.

Cons: Does not provide for software upgrades, nor does it have European frequency.

The Bottom Line: Unless you absolutely need European band or are confident that the US will get new bands soon - - buy this detector and be happy!

Review: Just got back to NY from a West Coast trip. Drove from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and then on to San Francisco. Numerous side trips including Sacramento and Muir Woods. All in all, drove well over 1,000 miles - - at every speed, every type road, all ...

Pros: POP detection, AutoScan hway/city false rejection, easy setup, very customizable programming

Cons: A little too loud, even with the minimum volume selected

Review: This detector works as well as their own RX55, has all the same features with one exception: the GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) specifications in the detector. The POP detection tends to false occasionally, but this is true of every other detector that claims ...

Pros: Very good at detecting ka radar band. Also detects well from behind.

Cons: The twin suction cup mounting can be lived with, but needs improvement.

Review: I bought this radar detector after spending many years using Cincinnati Microwave products. The reason for changing brands was the fact that every review that I read stated that this detector gave you the most for the best price. It does just that. The ...

Pros: Very powerful reception

Cons: Lousy controls, possible reliability issues

The Bottom Line: A very good choice, despite its flaws.

Review: I've used many low end detectors - Whistler, Cobra, Uniden, etc. For several years I used a Beltronics 906. About 2003 I noticed that it wasn't doing its job. I found myself in several situations where it was obvious that radar was being used and I got ...

Pros: Display is bright/Cord is great/Loud audio/ Mounts well

Cons: Falses way to much an ALL bands/Mute needs improved/

Review: I have used Beltronic radar detectors for 10 years or so now because we all know, they are the very best money can buy! I switched from the Vector 985 to the Vector 965 only because of the "pop" mode addition and a few electronic up dates. Well, no one ...

Pros: A nice name, with a high price !

Cons: Repeated false alerts, Poor mounting device, bad power cable connection type.

Review: I got this radar detector and returned the same day. I got false alerts almost every minute at every corner, and at some point the unit got bananas for about 15 minutes during a 10 miles trip, alerting without stop in a zone with nothing but just the ...
