Thread: Reliability

    Default Reliability

    It seems ALL model of Bel RD seem to exhibit reliability problems. I was wondering if Valentine one have the same reliabiltiy issues? Or is just Bel's quality assurance problems.

    I think old Bel were more reliable than the recent models. Opnions welcomed

    Remember rd are sensitive pieces of equipment that can be affected by anything.Consider rd's like mini computers.Somtimes they have processor problems,or software issues.It's not just Bel.

    Your new..so welcome.

    Take a look at the V1 forum and you will find you answer maybe what your looking for. I had a V1 but it was back in 2005 and I had no problems with it. I have the Bel V995 and those seem well above par when it comes to reliablity compared to other Bel's.

    I think that the real problem is that RDs have become far more techinically sophisticated than they once were. There's more room for glitches and things to go wrong. My STi works very well.

    Well I have had my Bel Pro RX65 (ROY!) for about five or six months now and I haven't had one problem with it yet. The NON-ROY I have had to send in once for freezing when I changed the programmable settings. I think it's mainly whether or not it was built with TLC, but that's not the only factor I a know. Just giving my thoughts for what they are worth!

    nsegal,
    My last Bel, a 745STi has been in service over 7 years... its in a closet now, but there is not doubt in my mind that it works as well as it did when purchased.
