escort radar problem

skid vicious

Registered
ok, so i got my escort hard wired to the battery. works fine, the only problem i am having is with the low volume of the unit. there is an earphone jack that accepts a 3.5 mm plug but none seem to work. got one at walmart and best buy and still no sound thru the ear plug. anybody know why?
i was also looking for the home made HARD unit that someone here had made. looked pretty cool and worked well. any details on that would be greatly appreciated.
 
evet get an update on this?
When I got mine ....the cigarrette adapter seemed to work fine....then when I got my hardwire kit....the volume dropped terribly.

mine is in my truck...but the symptom sounded similar.
 
Make sure you use a mono earphone plug. If you use a stereo it will damage the female plug on the detector and you will have to send it in for replacement.
 
I use a Beltronics STi with an earpiece i got at the same time from radarbusters.com and it works fine.. i'm hardwired straight from the battery too.
 
Just to re-interate, If you have used a stereo plug it may be the culprit. A friend of mine has the wireless Passport. He used a strereo jack for a little while and then the volume quite working with or without the jack being used. The stereo plug had broken or depressed a tang inside the earphone jack. The unit mutes the ouside speaker when it has positive contact inside the jack.
