    I need to ask;

    Why does it need to be cordless?
    What is this special application where you can't run it off the cars electrical system?

    Corded will beat cordless in every aspect, hands down!!

    why limit your self?

    And I need to answer: have you ever lived in one of those "special" areas where they will SEIZE your RD if caught driving with one, have you??? Of course not, and that's why you are NOT able to understand the reason for a CORDLESS RD, the major one, cause as for minor ones you have people driving different cars, rental cars, etc.
    I used to drive with an S2 for over a year, and it helped me a lot, I kept it on the dash covered always in "something"... but now I'm using the STI for the very same reason I used the S2... clear now (about why people want a cordless RD)?

    Hey Road Worrior, hope you're doing well. I see that you took the plunge and got the Sti! I hope it is working well for you.

    Mkloe, sorry to get off subject on you, I really have no comments on the S2 since I have never ran with one. But, Road Worrior seemed to be really happy with his so the S2 just might meet your needs. Take care.
    Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

    Hi Ray, yes, everything is pretty much all right up here... thanks for asking
    Yes, finally I took the plunge... into my bank account...
    I ordered it thru Roy (thanks Roy), chosen one UPS Store in US to get it on my way to/from NYC where I went last Labor Day weekend, $5 ground shipping and $5 for the store, no tax (US or Canadian) at all, also I hardwired it at a Circuit City store in the States ($50 plus local tax), so far it's great, STI is black, with the hardwired style you cannot see anything from outside as I have very dark tinted windows (factory and legally installed by the dealer as I just bought a brand-new car), of course the windshield has no tint at all, so far works great (the STI), maybe cause it's got the latest rev A4M9... so with this little toy
    And yes, S2 was my driving "toy" partner for over a year, no complains at all, easy to operate it, 2 batt inside, 2nd set of 2 fully charged with me all the time (and for long road trips I have a power inverter, 12V to 110V, with a multi power outlet for battery charger, cell, camcorder, etc.), this S2 alerts you for any X and K hits (mostly falses) and Ka and Laser hits (mostly real alerts), of course it's got no POP and, very important, is NOT Spectre-free!!!

    So, my humble reviews (as always) as I do not work for Beltronics at all, just fair, balanced and... unafraid... :wink: so you know now what's my favorite TV channel :wink:
    Take care Ray and enjoy the remaining of the Sunday and the summer...

    Road warrior,

    now that you have voiced you opinion about me not being in a banned area and insinuating that I just don't understand.

    Mkloe answered the question, his answer was that it was for a mini-bike.
    And this obviously had nothing to do with your answer.

    It is exactly what I suspected with him stating he was thinking about running larger batteries to power the unit!!

    maybe he thinks an RD is a police detector so he can avoid getting busted while using a non-highway vehicle on the roads.

    But thank you for answering for him. NOT!!
