That will render the laser detection useless, won't it?

I think the best installation will be similar to laser jammer heads, e.g., hole cut into a grill area and mounted flush.

I think the best install would be behind your rearview mirror. if you could build a little bracket to hold it, flush with the top. that way if it fails you don't have to rip apart your car.

Yeah, but then Jazzy will say that GOL tests are invalid :lol:

real unimpressive.

AGREED,100% :!:


I was hoping for GPS function too.Besides Ka-narrow modes I don't see much real improvement so far.I'm a bit dissapointed on new STi.
Anyway,time will tell,how good/bad new STi really is.
I hope new STi will be 'bug free'.

The STi is a stealth radar detector - that in itself is impressive. No other radar detector can do that. This is just another way to make it more stealth.

This isn't a new STi - just a variation.

And the Ka narrow is one of the best features Bel/Escort has come out with. :wink:

Take a look at how much better the RX65 performs in USA Mode, which is a Ka Narrow:

It even improved K band performance!

so narrow is just another name for the bands used in the USA?

Hi guys - for a long time 8)

Have I missed something? I tried to read the STi-R manual back and forth but couldn't find the answer.
What is RDR ??? In settings there is an option
"RDR ON or OFF (default is on)"

STi-R is what we have been waiting for :D

Superwide Ka = 33.4 - 36 GHz

Most radar detectors scan the entire range, which is huge.

Narrow Ka can mean different things depending on your area. V1 Euro Mode uses a narrow Ka for better detection of the Multinovas etc. RX65 has USA Mode which scans 33.8, 34.7 and 35.5 +/- 100 MHz.

Since the Ka range is so huge, scanning just what is in your area will speed up the scan and you will get alerts sooner - as shown in the GOL test I posted.
