    That's a joke, right? (or I'll spell it so you can understand. Thatz a jok, rite?)

    Anyway, to answer the question, check out the Guys of Lidar website www.guysoflidar.com. They break down the 3 Ka bands and how the various detectors stack up against them.

    Jerry has the best advice.

    Do your research and see what you think.

    If you wanted the absolute best overall it would be the V1 while others will say the STI. I think you are limiting yourself by not considering the v1 or STI

    The Bel RX65 has stella Ka. As does the STi, but there is no need to pay more for stealth if it is not needed in your area. I would say go with the Rx65. I have had mine for almost two years and i have never gotten a ticket. Also my friend who was one ticket away from a susspended license has been ticket free for 5 months (that's when i gave him an Rx65). Anyway that is my recomendation, the V1 is not my taste and it does cost a bit more. I like having a LED display so i never really liked the V1, but i have much respect for it.

    First off, don't run in USA mode. If you are basing that on USA mode then that is a bad thing. USA mode can miss out of tune ka guns. either way, i think both gol tests and other members will agree that the STI is probably the better Bell on KA although Bell's supposedly suck on k band.

    The odds of you running into one of the Stalker models that were sold at 34.9 are minimal but can happen. The performance you receive while in USA mode outweigh the risk of running into an out of tune gun.

    Default either

    Either the Bel STi or V1 for ka band. "You" take your pick.
