Hey all. Just got an email this morning from Bel warning that NY senators are trying to pass a bill to make RDs illegal in NY. If this is true we need to fight back. New York is always the first to...
I live in upstate NY, Albany area. I have to say it was late at night and not much traffic. The road i was on is long and straight with a few small hills and alot of business on both sides of the...
Driving home late last night on a four lane road with lots of businesses on both sides. Got a one bar Ka alert for a few seconds then went away as i was going up a small hill. Top of the hill picked...
I have a new 955 and it does the same thing. If i'm driving into the sun as its going down it sets off laser alerts. Last night i had to turn it off cause it was just went off constantly. I turned it...
I have an interesting one on this subject. Were i live LEOs use Ka about 95% of the time. So when i get a Ka alert i know its for real....except one spot on a highway near my house i get a brief Ka...
Great, i guess i can order one now for my 940. Good old Beltronics Customer Service.
I guess it depends on whether he was talking about using the coiled smartplug or just the plain cord. This was my response from an email directly from Bel:
Thanks for your interest in Beltronics!...
The smartcord with the visual alerts and mute button do NOT work on the V940. I called Bel directly to ask them this same question a few weeks ago.
Hi dpatel01. I noticed in your first post you were mentioning that your 955 with the M4 platform did not detect as well as the S7 platform. I just got the 955 and noticed a huge difference between...
Thanks MEM-TEK. I will give that a try. But just out of curiousity, has anyone else noticed a big difference in Ka range with the different platforms?
Was looking through some other posts and saw one recently from dpatel01 who said his 8500 and 955s range was not as good with the M4 platform. My biggest complaint with it is Ka detection range is...
Just checked the FCC # and it is an M4. So are all the new vector RDs using M4 or just the 955. Cause its a big difference in Ka detection between the two. I cant believe a newer model would be that...
You guys know your stuff so i hope you can shed some light on this for me. I just bought a 955 after having a 940 for a year and a half. The 955 seems like a crapra compared to my 940. I work right...
Thanks for the info. I do have the 6.3 firmware. My wife has a V940 in her car. Should the 940 also have the 6.3 firmware?
I just bought a vector 955 at CC last week. How do i know if i have the latest firmware on it. I learned from reading the forum that you can tell the manufacture date by the end of the serial number....
You can get the 940 at circuitcity for $135, but only if you buy it online. You can buy it online and pick it up in the store. If you just go to the store and try it buy it its $160. Figure that one...
i've had the bel v940 for about a year and i love it. Saved me more times than i can count. Was looking to buy a new RD for the wifes car. Read some good stuff about the whistler xtr-690 and it has a...
Hey mrcllusb, I'm also from Albany NY. Live right near Albany airport. Just curious as to where you got the laser hit. I've had a RD in my car for over a year, travel the Northway daily and the...
I have had the 940 for about 5 months and it has saved me many times. Great range and reliability for the price. KA detection is great. Will give you plenty of time to slow down before you see the...
Just got back from a trip from upstate new york to south carolina and back. New Jersey IS still using X band. Luckily i had heard about this before i left cause normally i disregard X alerts as...
Don't forget about the Bel Vector 940. I have one and i really like it. Great range and you can get it for about $139.
Hey all. The girlfriend wants a RD for her car. I have a Vector 940 and i really like it. Can only budget about $150 at this time. Should i go with another 940 or maybe the whistler pro-73. She...
Thanks for the info. You guys are a big help to this newbie. When i get back from my trip to SC i'll post what i found out about my trip down the east coast. Sounds like i'm going to run into all...
Thanks for the good info. I turned on POP today to try it out. I'll check it out over the next few days and see how it works.
One other question. I'm planning a trip from Upstate New York down to...
