    Default STi-R + V1

    I been running Sti-R+V1 for last 3 days in city,,,
    and I noticed Sti-R is more chatty and more sensity then V1....
    Sti-R always 1-2 secs ahead of V1 aginst K band Speed Sign.....
    and sometime Sti-R would alerts to supermarket door opener(off axis K band),but V1 is silent....
    Im really loving the Sti-R+V1 combo........

    I feel the 2 best set ups are ci+V1 and STI-R + V1. The V1 covers Q/T the belscorts will miss, and has the arrows. The CI and STI-R have more raw sensitivity and spec display.. That is a sweet set up if you can afford to run it.

    I love the combination of the two! The STi-R has surprised me a few times with rear Ka detection (34.7) before the V1

    IMO overall the STI,CI and STi-R eat the V1 for lunch on 34.7 detection coming and going. The only advantage I see for the V1 on 34.7 is Q/T response performance.

    Haven't seen QT or I/O used in this area yet. Maybe I'll get some action when I go cross-country in a few months.

    I think the V1 beats the sti-r on rear Ka 34.7 detection too. That is what I am seeing with my V1-9500ci combo.

    Thanks for sharing that. In all fairness I have not had much rear experience with any of the detectors in a 4 wheeler since most of my use has been in a Semi truck that blocks the V1 rear detection. All of my rear encounters have had to rely on reflections back to the front of the rd.

    I am still waiting for someone to mount a CI in the grill and a STi-r under the rear bumper covering the rear.

    Yep, the V1 beats the 9500ci on rear 34.7Ka detection 99% of the time. Rear any band for that matter. The fact that it's even close, considering the 9500ci's antenna is pointed forward, is remarkable in itself.
