hey guys I was wondering I have the Passport 8500 and I absolutely love it, I was wondering how the Solo S2 compares. I was looking to go wireless for my wife's car and was wondering how they stack up against eachother. |

James have you thought of converting the 8500 to cordless? All you need is a flat 12v rechargeable battery that'll stick to the bottom of the unit. I would've done that, had I not got busted by a radar detector car. They took it away from me, ba$tard$!
I don't think the cordless models are good enough for everyday use.

thats kind of a pain in the @ss though I mean how long would the battery really last, and wouldnt it lose its range on a low battery? |

Well not the way I make'em. It'll last much longer than AA/9v battery the cordless uses.
You'd be surprised with some of these slim flat rechargeables. Much more power and longer lasting than standard batteries. |

Well yea cause it's not legal everywhere. The "foot soldier" cops will take it away from you, give you a ticket, then make you go to court for a trial. I think it's really stupid. Not like it's a dangerous weapon nor is it a drug. Just a gadget. |

How much did it cost you? Too bad it's illegal in Canada. |
