STI Going Back

[Sparkknocker]

Do you guys think I should exchange for another STI or try a V1? Or perhaps get ol' faithful (RX65) again?

[licamell]

Unless you're in immediate need of it and don't have the time or patience to waste then why not try getting another one. There definitely are good and bad STi's out there, and the good ones can be good :-)

Actually what you are paying for is immunity to the Spectre.

At least that is what Bel wants you to believe. It doesn't cost Bel 15 dollars to make a RD Spectre immune. Magnesium is cheap, and it's sealed off...Whoopdy doo...but it can be expensive as no other RD company has it

I believe it is the antenna that makes it stealth more so than the case.

Maybe you received a bad STi? From what I've seen so far with testing is the STi consistnently did better than the RX65. You could have a hot RX65, who knows. You should try another STi and see if you get the same results.

Aaseavy, sorry to hear about the problem that occured w/ your STi. Since you don't like the STi, I would go ahead and try another V1. What do you have to lose? Good luck and keep us posted on what you will do.

That being said, I just for the life of me CAN NOT understand Americans were RD's are legal buying an STi for $450.00, when there are many options, just as good or better that cost less.

If RD's were legal here, I sure as hell would not spend $450.00 on an STi.

You guys have too much money.................

X2 ... is it the need to have the latest toy??

I dont believe as someone alluded to that the Sti is simply an RX65 in a magnesium case although it no doubt contributes to the stealthing. Hopefully Bel can get the tweaks right for the 33.8 band.

Just give the V1 a try. You can always return it within 30 days.

What's another 10%? It's a good detector :wink:

One look inside an RX65 and an STI and it's clear they are totally different. A maggy case won't help much with those big holes on either side . I'll give you that that 280-LED matrix display is probably an identical part to that on the RX65 (and pretty much any other Belscort product in the past few years)

The STI is a STELLAR detector. Think twice before you part with her

You're not the only one with an insane rx65. Maybe it is just specific CHP officers is the reason, but there is this one officer I've picked up multiple times about 8 to 12 miles ahead. I don't think it is my rx65. I think he did something to his gun. I hope he doesn't get brain cancer. :?

3 weeks ago on my trip to LA down I-5 CHP was shooting IO which is like the first time I've ever experienced IO but it must have been at least 4 miles down the road because my watch said over 4 mins before I saw him after I got the first alert. I'd like to see another RD do that. :wink:

look at the wide variants in the testing....bad bad badd...looks like bel missed the mark again, but not with design, but QC,,,,it kinda reminds me of a nice car, the pinto....when they forgot to put the rearend on. IF you look, everything was good, but you die in it. no engine or tran probs.
