QI45 and Spectre Stealth

[cmcfaul]

Spectre Stealth is listed as one of the features with this detector. Yet I have read that it is easily detectable. Living in VA I am very courous as to weather this detector is VG2 or Spectre detectable. Is this not the main reason one buys a remote mounted detector.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks,

C

The QI45 not stealth to the Spectre. It is stealth to the (obsolete) VG-2 RDD. The QI45 uses the M4 platform, the same as the 9500ix, 8500 X50, Bel RX65 and Vector series, and a few others.

Only the M3 platform Escorts and Bels are undetectable to the Spectre. These would be the remote mount Escort 9500ci, Bel STi-R+, and the windshield mount Escort Redline and Bel STi Driver.

So what is meant when they list Spectre Stealth in the technical specifications. Does the QI45 try to provide Spectre Stealth but not do it very well? Might this feature have been added to newer models?

thanks,

Chris
