If there is anyone with both of these detectors. Or if someone has one and another has the other. It would rather interesting to do a shoot out between these two beasts...

X2. I think radarrob has them both and said that the sti-r barely beats the plus.Quote:

Look at post 15.Quote:

It appears Rob has a (hot) STIR... I believe I have a (hot) Stir+ so it would be interesting to do a shoot out.
Manufacturing variance will be the only difference
there are 3 kind of stiR's that will perform different on different bands
a 08 model sometimes does not have pre ka fix on it/rampup issue fixed also k band is not good but can be awesome on ka band
a 09 stiR like i have k band is frickin awesome! so is ka band
a 2011 stiR+ i have not tested really yet so i don't know of anything yet besides both my stir's are close on performance
my v1 that i just got tuned up is performing poorly and I'm getting rid of it forget the arrows I'm about performance,i got my rear view mirror for the arrow
testing your unit is the only way to know whats going on.
Thanks Rob for clarifying~Quote:

update - due to the weather by me this might not happin today
no time today for testing will try again on one of my days off
Hey Rob...Just a reminder if you can get your girl to help you out. It would be rather interesting for the record your recordings of this shoot out...stir va stir+.
Us propeller heads just cant get enough of this stuff~
I will record...its been very hecktive with my work hours this week.going to try and do a run again today.
I hope to have the Plus (I have the STi-R) sometime this year, but my setup will be slightly different than Rob's.
vids posted up!
where is this video hiding? I cant seem to find it :/
updated
*** I found it***

It would be interesting to see if the Euro STIR + is more sensitive then the North American version... Im wondering if the added software features (code) on the NA version creates a slight bottleneck to the cpu(embedded chip) thus slowing down the unit or reaction time etc ?
Thinking about how less is better...consider how "rdr" off feature makes a big difference with this unit.
I have 08 model and sent it in for ramp up fix when it first came out. Anyone know if there is an update to get 09 like k band performance? My k band range and detection is pretty bad...

Seriously...V1...i don't know if any of you had the pleasure of seeing the most recent southpark... But, v1 could you please give me a courtesy spit b4 you f#@* me in the ...Quote:

a very long time.im getting rid of my v1's.my 3.826,my 1.7 and if i can find my other one in my room. there looking for new owner's.
For those interested, I have performed an extensive examination of both detectors on a multi-state 2000+ mile trip. I'll have a write up coming along with a bunch of video documentation as well.
Be aware that the manufacturing variance is not negligible. We did a comparison test with 3 different STI-R (different age), in the same mounting position (clear view of the road) against a stationary radar source (34,3 GHz, empty road) and we were surprised about the difference in sensitivity.
What did you observe? Over what periods of age were the three units?Quote:

When we did some testing to find the optimum position against photo radar, we also discovered that two STI-R behaves completely different on the same position. For example we placed two new STI-R on the same position and discovered a difference in range of 50-70m (at a total range of 300m).
