Is the spotter catch bars pretty reliable ?

Yes they are very reliable and sturdy. I did not have any problems with them although I did not use them much but when I did use them, I had no problems.

Still have to match up spots. I never had a problem doing it though. Good luck

Not sure, I'm a beginner with experience with a cheaper brand. After using this model I must admit my old metal detector "toraso cultus" is much easier to use and detects just as deep. I'm not certain the price gives me that much more of a detector. I'm still learning it but am becoming a little frustrated.

I just got it and I've only used it twice, but yes it's accurate...although one of those times it did take me on a slightly longer route which used wider streets. I assumed that was by design because I told it I was driving a 40' motor home.

Yes, it's to use without a spotter but you should use one on your first attempt to feel comfortable. After you feel comfortable the handle bars and foot guard will secure you.

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

I'm using it in a Nordictrack but I'd hold off if I was you. They have been having a nightmare since November when they upgraded their servers causing huge numbers of users (mine included) not to work reliably. Check out the ifit support pages not the headline posts but the users responses and make sure they've fixed it before you spend your cash.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

Usually quite accurate. If you can get it to update the maps and software. When it does make an error, you may wind up down a narrow dead-end road or 15 miles out in the middle of nowhere. The second time I tried to update mine, it failed to update and crashed and became useless. I bought a Garmin.

the flat trigger model seems to have a better response time , they are both excellent. i would recommend ether one for any fishing or small game trapping.

I would be wary of the accuracy, there are "dead spots". I ordered two of these and both of them had a "dead zone" of about 6 degrees (from 76F-82F) where it would show it was 76 until it suddenly spiked to 82.

They were perfect on my stock GT bars. I guessed there must be a standard dimension and accuracy would be dependant on the quality of the bar material.

I have found them not to be very accurate. I returned my first unit for that reason. The second unit was not much better. There are better auto units available. I don't use it anymore in my office.

The bar hooks in to the control panel and then dirt to battery and yes has the chase pattern. The rear of the bar has a 3 pattern traffic adviser. I have had good luck with it and it is brighter than its Whelen competitor.

You might have to bend the little metal bar catch mechanism a very tiny bit to get it to catch. Do a little at at time.Trial an error method. It takes some time so be patient. You could also take a file and flatten the wire catch mechanism but if you do to much you could ruin it. These are not precise mechanism so they are not perfect and sometimes need to be adjusted. One guy replaced the long bar. I wouldn't do it unless you are able to put the rod back. Good luck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eadkDfl67W8

it is useful but nothing can't guarantee that you won't be catched. Depends on Ur response to the signal. But it gonna save you

The Black edition has the same forward lens as the 9500xi, so supposedly it boosts the range an additional 40%. Not to sway you towards a different detector, but I bought a Valentine One about a year ago. I would highly recommend getting that over any of the Escorts. Knowing WHERE the radar is, is way nicer than IF there's radar, and IF it's fake or legit.
