    Default V1 vs. Spectre RDD

    I was bored, so I started reading Mike's articles.

    Ask Mike - Previously Answered #2


    VR was seeking a Spectre RDD unit for research.

    Someone should loan them that.

    Just a thought.

    Happy Hunting!

    I am surprised a company like V1 cannot get their hands on one.

    I'm sure they want to keep them out of VR's hands!! But i doubt they tried very hard to get one.

    There are a few folks on here who own one.

    How hard could it be....

    You can call Stalker and they will sell you one if you have the $. So not hard at all. Sometimes they even sell older models that are refurbed for a more reasonable price.

    Like I said they probably tried but not very hard.

    Conversation must have gone about like this:

    VR: Hey this is Valentine Research and we want to purchase on of your Spectre IV units so we can figure out how to make our detectors immune to it.

    Awesome Post!!! That about sums it up. The day VR produces a Spectre proof unit, I'm all in.

    That report is probably 7-8 years old, so I suspect if Valentine wanted to get one, they've probably gotten one by now.

    I suspect it all comes down to supply and demand.

    RDD's aren't in used that much, with the exception of VA, DC and some parts of Canada.

    VR most likely didn't want to put the $$$$ into this project.

    I bet it was exactly like that. VR will probably go with the V1 updates to 3.899 or something and then they'll pop out the V2. Hopefully it will be stealth, maybe some voice options for those that want it, gps integration? idk All I know is that I will buy it
