Letter to the CEO

[Event Horizon]

I wonder how much Revenue in sales this site generates for Beltronics, Escort, and Valentine Research?

I figure more for VR cause this forum seems to have more V1 users than anything else.. And like was said the tech is offered abroad so it is not like it would cost them anything to make it available to us here in the US.

I agree. The most common question from new people here is, what's the best the detector out there or which detector should I get questions. So naturally we will recommend the proper product based on their needs. We don't recommend crap. We will recommend the good stuff which HAS band seg, rdr, range, etc.

If Escort/Bel make a detector with BS/RDR and maybe even arrows now, we finally will be able to recommend SOMETHING else other than the standard answer of "get a V1" to most new users.

But as I said earlier, why would Belscort make a dream 400-500 dollar windshield mount detector (with great range,ramp up, BS, GPS, RDR, arrows, reactivity,etc.) when they can keep this exclusive to a 1200 dollar custom mount!

Why would you buy a 1200-1600 Custom Install if you could get the same performance and features from a 500 dollar unit?
This may be why we will never see the options we want in a windshield mount.

It seems a lot of members are bashing on all the companies. You do not have to buy any of the products. Obviously, you can write in your opinions.

Because companies need to make products that WE want. We are the ones funding them. Furthermore, Escort and VR both have tremendous research and development potential, and what we have been asking for is nothing out of their reach. Heck, the European M4s already have most of what we want!!!

I just wish someone at Escort could please answer the following question:

WHY NO BS/RDR IN A WINDSHIELD MOUNT FOR THE UNITED STATES???

THIS.

I really don't see what would be so hard about putting a button on the RD to switch between "normal" and "super sensitive" mode, and make everyone happy.

People would still buy them for various reasons. They're much more convenient in a daily driver and necessary in illegal places where windshield mounts are too risky.

Sometimes, a remote install is not an option. For people like me who switch cars a lot or bring a detector along with friends, a remote install is not an option. I have one, but use my redline more, for portability.

Because of the groundswell i will print this off tnight and fire it off. I fully support this grassroots effort and hopefully it wont fall on the deaf ears of the CEO. As the saying goes by Jesus himself. You have not because you ask not!

It does not get any clearer than that! Thanks for posting those golden words Exotic. In truth, somebody had the basic concepts of human nature figured out a long long time ago.

Now, I'm sure that there are more than 18 people on this forum who want better response times and an accurate ramp up on their Escort/Bel detector. So who else is going to ask.......who else is going to mail the letter?

[KaPro]

....... as much as my a** is totally chapped with belscort over this dragged out, fruitless process, I'm sending a letter....... my finger is itching at VR's site........

[Jag42]

LOL ..Whistler will come out with a dashmount with band seg before Belscort does,WHY ? Because Mike B and the Whistler team actually listen to there customers.
