Don't take this the wrong way, you have a good OLD detector from Beltronics from back in the day. I used to have the 745 STI and it was good, but technology has changed quite a bit since the mid 1990s (when these detectors were manufactured). I would look into trading that detector in. Bel used to offer up to $80.00 when you would purchase a new one. Check their website for more info.

How it works--- it will go off on Ka band literally every couple of minutes. Best to throw it away or trade it in on a new RD.

Trade it for $80.00 best bet, at less you get some money out of it.

Funny, I recently was given an old Bel STi (doesn't have a number?) and it does just that. Falses on Ka a lot.

I only used it for a couple hours before I decided I would save it for one of those "trade in" deals.

What he said. Back then BEL replaced their RDs instead of repairing them. I must have gone through 10 of those LOL. Finally got one that worked then it got stolen. The 645/745 series were so bad I finally decided to spend $400 and get a V1.

The 645/745 are way behind the new BELs on K band sensitivity. The older Escort and BEL Micro Eye RDs were actually a lot better on K band than these BELs.

Selling or trading the 645 STi is a very good idea and I would recommend it as well.

If you can get an $80 trade in allowance for the 645 I would jump on it before BEL or Escort change their mind!

Or keep it as an antique and get a newer one.
