What are the differences?

Between the sti-r and sti-driver. I've had the sti-driver and the k band i thought wasn't as spactacular as i thought it would be. But the k band on the sti-r seems to be the same if not better than the v1. Arn't the antenna's in the sti the same from remote to driver? Also do you think the redline or the v1 crush the bel rx-65 on ka band? I've seen some pretty decent range on the rx-65. Just wondering peoples opinions!

Thanks

Probably have to shut off some features on the Belscorts to get them to perform:

The STi Driver is a de-tuned M3. Escort apparently did not want it to outperform the 9500i by a large margin.

The RedLine, STi-R (Plus) and 9500ci are examples of the M3 in supertuned form. The STi-R (Plus) has the most potential having options to turn off RDR filtering and segment Ka band. The RedLine is an animal against both Ka and K band (signifcant improvement over the RX65) but the STi-R (Plus) can take it to a whole new level and offer fantastic response times to boot.

I would think the only advantage to the STi Driver these days is that it has a better ramp up compared to the RedLine on Ka band.

Thanks for the detailed response, exactly what i was looking for. I have many RD's included the rx65. I picked up better range on the rx65 than i did on the SE whistler line that's for sure. Ramp up is kind of silly though. I really don't like the redline due to obnoxious ramp up/ my heart skips beats when it goes off lol.
