At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Features
Detection Capability: The
Bel Pro RX65 includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, Ku (including European Ku radar) and Safety Warning System
radar capability, front and rear laser detection, and digital signal processing
for superior range and fewer false alarms. You can program the unit to enable
all bands at once or you can select one or more bands to turn off (once you have
determined there are no traffic radar units using the disabled bands in your
area).
Pop Mode Detection: The RX65
includes protection against "Pop Mode" radar, a relatively new feature
for radar gun manufacturers. It works by transmitting an extremely short burst,
within the allocated band, to identify speeding vehicles in traffic. Once the
target is identified, or "popped", the gun is then turned to its
normal operating mode to provide a vehicle tracking history.
Display: The
RX65's red alphanumeric display consists of 280 individual LEDs to provide an
intuitive ultra-bright display of signal strength and text messages. When radar
is detected, the unit displays the band (X, K or Ka), and a precise bar graph of
the signal strength. When the RX65 detects laser, the display will show
"LASER".
Alerts: This
unit features three methods of alerting you that the detector has received a
signal: Audible alerts, Visual alerts, and Voice alerts.
Audible Alerts: The RX65 uses a
Geiger-counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar
signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert
will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger. When the signal is very
strong, the audible alerts will blend into a solid tone. Each band has a
distinct tone for easy identification.
Brightness Modes: The RX65 has
three display brightness settings, plus a Dark Mode. Each press of the
Brightness button cycles through Maximum, Medium, Minimum, and Dark. In the Dark
Mode, the power on indication changes to a dim AD, HD or CD (AutoScan Dark,
Highway Dark, City Dark), and only audible alerts are used when the RX65 detects
signals.
Programming:
There are 7 user-selectable options to allow you to customize the RX65 to your
own preferences. The programmable categories include Pilot (Power-on Indicator),
Voice Alerts, Power-on Sequence, Signal Strength Meter, AutoMute, City Mode
Sensitivity and Radar/Laser Bands.
Pilot
(Power-on Indicator):
The Power-on indicator can be a full word ("Highway") or a single
letter ("H"). When the detector is in the Dark Mode, the indicator
will be two letters (HD--highway/dark).
Vehicle
Voltage: The voltage
indicator will provide a digital readout of the vehicle's battery voltage. When
the voltage falls below 10.5 volts or rises above 16 volts, the detector will
give you a low voltage or high voltage warning and sound an audible alert.
Voice Alerts:
When the Voice Alerts are activated, all radar, laser and Safety Warning System
alerts (when programmed on) will be accompanied by a digital voice. When Voice
Alerts are off, only the audio tones will be heard during an alert or SWS
message. The RX65 has a total of 64 digital voice messages.
Power-on
Sequence: When the RX65
is first turned on, the standard power-on sequence includes a series of displays
followed by a brief X-band alert. If any bands have been disabled, a double
X-band alert and corresponding message will alert you that one or more bands
have been turned off. If you desire a quicker power-on sequence, you can switch
to "Fast Power-On" which provides only a single X-band alert if all
bands are enabled, and a double X-band alert and a corresponding message if any
bands have been turned off.
Signal
Strength Meter: The
RX65's standard bar-graph signal strength meter only displays information on a
single radar signal. If there are multiple signals present, the detector's
internal computer determines which is the most important threat to show on the
bar-graph meter.
Threat
Display: The Threat
Display option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. The Threat
Display simultaneously tracks multiple radar signals and their relative signal
strength. It displays what band each signal is and a numerical reading of its
signal strength.
Tech Display:
The Tech Display option
is for experienced detector users. It displays the band and the actual numeric
frequency of the radar signal being received.
AutoMute:
With the AutoMute feature on, audio alerts will initially be at the volume you
set, but after a few seconds, the RX65 will automatically reduce the volume
level, to keep you informed, but not annoyed. With AutoMute off, audio alerts
will remain at the volume you set for the duration of the radar encounter.
City Mode
Sensitivity: The
detector's City Mode significantly reduces X-band sensitivity to reduce
annoyance from X-band intrusion alarms and motion sensors. In addition to the
Standard City Mode, you can further reduce X-band sensitivity by selecting
"City Mode/Low X". If you are absolutely certain there are no X-band
traffic radar units in the area, you can select "City Mode/No X" and
the detector will not respond to any X-band signals.
Safety Warning System:
The
Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a modified K-band radar signal to alert you
of upcoming highway construction, road hazards, weather-related hazards, travel
and convenience information and emergency/slow-moving vehicles. The SWS system
has 64 possible text messages that can be displayed on the RX65.
VG-2
Alerts: The detector is undetectable by VG-2 detection
devices, and will alert you when such a device is in use near your vehicle.
During the alert, the unit continues to detect other signals.
Earphone Jack: A
3.5mm mini-jack is provided on the side of the unit for plugging in an earphone in environments with high ambient noise levels. When an
earphone is connected, the internal speaker is disconnected.
Mounting: You
will get optimum performance from the detector if you mount it at a point
approximately in the center of the vehicle, as low as possible on the front
windshield without obstructing the view of the road to the front or rear. The
detector can be mounted in two ways:
- Windshield
Mount: The
supplied windshield mount adheres the detector to the windshield with two
suction cups. The angle can be adjusted for best visibility.
- Dashboard Mount:
Using the supplied
self-adhesive pads, you can attach the detector to the
dashboard.
SmartPlug: The
RX65 is equipped with a SmartPlug cigarette lighter adapter with a coiled cord.
The SmartPlug provides a convenient power-on LED indicator, an alert light, and
an easy-to-reach Mute button.
