FEATURES & BENEFITS:
X-treme Radar Range
The Passport 8500 X50's new "V-Tuned" radar receiver provides extreme range on all radar; conventional and "instant-on" including POP mode, X-Band, and up to 50% more range on the all-important K and Ka bands than the original Passport 8500. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provides maximum range, with minimum false alarms.
It ferreted out the lethal digital Ka-band radar gun at 40,222 feet...fully 3.2 miles before the Valentine One.
New High-Performance Laser Protection
Passport 8500 X50's multiple high-performance laser sensors provide maximum laser warning, with superior off-axis protection. For the ultimate in laser protection, the Passport X50 may be paired with the Blinder m25 Laser Jammer
X-tremely Quiet
Passport 8500 X50's patented AutoSensitivity™ mode intelligently distinguishes real threats from other known sources of radar - virtually eliminating false alarms. Conventional Highway and City modes are also provided.
3 High-Resolution Meter Modes
The Passport 8500 X50 provides 3 types of meter displays: standard bar graph, exclusive ExpertMeter™, and our new SpecDisplay™. In ExpertMeter™ mode the Passport X50 can identify band and relative signal strength on up to radar 8 signals simultaneously. Or, choose our new SpecDisplay™ and Passport X50 will show you the actual frequency of the radar signal.

Or choose our new "SpecDisplay™" and the Escort 8500 X50 will display the actual frequency of the radar signal.

New Reprogrammable Microprocessor
Passport 8500 X50's on-board computer can be reprogrammed to detect new radar and laser threats, making it a solid investment.
New Advanced EZ-Programming
Passport 8500 X50 is ready to use right out of the box. However, you can also instantly customize it for your unique driving preferences. Programmable options include Power-On indication, Meter type, AutoMute, Brightness level (including full dark mode), two levels of Audio tones, and selectable radar and laser bands.
Simply hold both buttons to enter the Program Mode, and quickly review or change your settings. (Your preferred settings are maintained in memory, even when the Passport 8500 X50 is turned off or unplugged.)
3 Levels of Brightness Control
Choose between Dim, Medium, or Max brightness levels, or full dark mode for discreet night driving.
Ultra-Bright Matrix Display
Passport 8500 X50's matrix display uses 280 individual ultra-bright Blue LEDs to provide crystal-clear band and signal strength indication, plus text messages for programming.
