    So...

    Something else occurred to me a good while back, but I forgot all about posting it. It occurred to me that the electronics industry has seen a big push over the past few years to make all of their electronics RoHS compliant in order to meet international standards. This may be the actual reason why the M4 platform was developed to replace the earlier S7 platform, aside from at the same time designing a platform which would be less time consuming to manufacture and easier to service.

    So, what does everyone think? Does this idea of mine sound plausible or does it peg out my BS meter?

    Probably a money saving reason

    Either way, S7 or M4, they are both dang good and provide the budget-minded performance that was unheard of not that long ago.

    Well lets see if I can revive this
    I have an 2001 Bel 990 international with S7 horn and 2009 M4 escort passport 8500 x50 Euro (with K pulsed mode and fragmented Ka). I have been doing a lot of independent testing of the two.
    Here (Romania) we have only K band and laser, so both run with only K band on.
    I can say that S7 bel 990i is 1 second faster on any K band source, but M4 ramp-up is way better...The 990i has slightly better off-axis sensitivity, and gives more falses to K
    With M4 you will know how far the radar source is, with S7 - no.
    I search now for Michael B sensitivity values for those 2 detectors...

    ^ It was resurrected from 2007. Back when jimbonzzz frequented this board.
