    M-TEK, I’m calling you out.

    So far of anyone to respond, my 955 is the most recently produced in 2607 and it is an M4, so that craps on you theory.

    Furthermore, I am trying to get to the bottom of something here and if you don’t have anything substantial to contribute then stop posting. Also, please remove your 1-page sti review and put it in another thread where it might be relevant.

    As I said in the kickoff post. Lets stay on topic and no BS, you too stamp

    Good stuff to everyone else, bkrell, your theory is a possibility; I actually think they are doing the same thing to the rx-55 by putting the old m2 horn in it. Purely speculation here, but if they got a bunch of old horns lying around, why throw them away when they are still perfectly functional.

    Hey, no need for hostility. MEM-TEK is just pointing out we've seen lots of S7's put in 07 units when prevailing wisdom is they stopped producing them in 06. Whether it's an about-face, last gasp, sneaky refurbs, or whatever by Bel, who knows. But they sure didn't stop making them in 06 as everyone had declared previously. And, if the hype is to be believed, I'm glad! If I were in the market for a new detector, I'd be waddling over to Circuit City and inspecting boxes for the FCC ID as it's on the outside of the box.

    Hardly at all. All Vector and RX series radar detectors (except the remote RX versions) with the M4 horn are physically and electronically identical inside. The only difference is what specific features are enabled during the flashing of the on-board microprocessor. Likewise, the same applies for all later Vector and RX series radar detectors (except the remote RX versions) which have the S7 horn. Since members in this thread and in other threads have purchased Vector and RX radar detectors fairly recently which have the S7 horn, I still think that Bel either never completely discontinued the S7 platform or that they could be bringing it back.

    You seem to definitely be at the bottom of something! Nevertheless, the purpose of this forum is to help out radar detector owners by answering their questions. While my STi review was off topic, I posted it in your thread to quickly answer stamp4's question since he (like you) is a newcomer, and also because I thought that even you might be curious about how the Vector and RX series radar detectors perform relative to the STi.

    As far as old horns laying around and not throwing them away, Bel would have to have complete older platforms laying around since setting up the production line to once again produce the older boards wouldn't be economical.
    ***** BS ALERT *****

    FACT: The RX-55 uses the M2 receiver, NOT the S7 or M4.
    So evidently, they're not having any problems fitting it in the case or supporting the required features

    Y'all can sit around arguing all day or offer a reason as to WHY there are still S7 horns floating around as of spring of this year. No one's really answered that yet.

    It does seem easy to see the RX-55 having the M2 since the RX55 is much lighter than the other units, it feels like it is empty inside (and also seems to perform as well :P)
