    Default Pleased with STi's Ka reception....

    Came across a radar trap and decided to do some mini testing of the Bel STi against a city cop's constant on Ka.

    Approaching the cop from behind, the Bel Sti alerted me about 100m away, (not bad considering there was a large billboard between me and the the cop, which was partially obstructing the view. The cop was parked about 50 ft off the road in an office building parking lot, looking at the oncoming traffic.

    Going past the cop so that he was behind me, I was getting good Ka reception, possibly bounced of trucks and buildings etc back into the Sti rec'r.

    About 500m (0.5km on 1/4mile away from the cop) I stopped getting Ka reception . At this point I turned around and headed backtowards the cop to see how the front on performance was.

    Facing the cop car at 500m, I was already getting 2 bars on my STi display.

    I was happy with the detection as you can see the rail bridge was completely upstructing LOS view to the cop. (The road dips to go underneath the rail bridge)

    Do you have anything else to compare it too? V1? X50?

    unfortunately not. Just sold the V1.

    My gut instinct says that the V1 was better at detection, but this opinion may be blurred by poor memory. I last used the V1 around here in 2002.

    (500m = around 1600ft)

    Today I tested my just received Sti with a Multanova 6F photoradar here in the Netherlands. I had about 300 to 500 meters detection with the radar taking the pictures from the rear. On Gatso it was also pretty nice.

    That's not what we learned from the GOL test? How can you say that?
