Worth getting a rev. 3.813?

[byteme29]

Just wanted to get some opinions on whether it is worth getting a rev 3.813 for about $200. I know the upgrade from V will cost about $180. I don't want to spend more than $200 on it and if I was, I would be better off buying it new with the lasted firmware. I would primarily want it for K and KA band highway. What do you guys think? thanks.

If they don't use POP in your area, 3.813 may actually be better than the "latest and greatest". Compare old GOL tests to see, but 3.813 had the same K and slightly better Ka -- except no POP. It's also less detectable by Spectre, although still not stealth. I just upgraded from 3.826 to 3.872, and it cost about $175 ($139 upgrade plus shipping both ways).

If anything buy it for 200, get it tuned up $40 dollars and sell it for $450.

X2, the 3.813 will probably be ghost free as well.
