    Default Thanks Bel

    I posted once that I can't stand the ramp up on the Sti. But I have to say, after driving with this unit for several months its amazing.

    That last detectors I owned falsed a lot. My last trip I left home in City no X and switched it back to hiway once I was on it. I travelled for 4 hours with not one false and several hits on K and KA. I always assume detector use comes with annoying falses; compounded when RD's are illegal in your area.

    My point? I don't care as much about the ramp up if everytime the detector alerts you know there is police radar in the area. I know from reading on this forum that other detectors are more sensitive, better at laser and off axis, but I'll take a quiet detector any day of the week. It made my driving experience that much more enjoyable.

    Thanks Bel!!

    I agree that the STi does a great job with autoscan, so it does not false all the time, and yes it detects radar very well....but just think if it had an audio ramp that matched the visual display...then I would thank Bel for making a well rounded detector! :roll:

    Not the biggest fan of the Bels ramp up, it seems a little jumpy. Had a X50 last weekend, set the display to show frequency and the near-perfect ramp up was like music to my ears. No need to guess how strong the signal was.

    I still agree that the ramp up is rediculous. I am just amazed at the lack of falseing and the sensitivity. While I'm at it I should also thank Stelcar and the men and women in blue for getting rid of all the other detectors in my area. Stellar job, keep it up!!

    I agree the filtering is awesome. I drive a Semi in 48 states and across some really rural areas , I-80,I-40,I-10 etc. I have it mounted behind the passenger seat and cant see the display, but rely only on the audio. Sometimes its over 300 miles without a beep, so I think, did I turn it on this morning? awesome filtering and sensativity
