    Default Ordered a V1

    Well finally had some time today, ordered up a V1. I decided to call the 800 number rather than the web based checkout.

    Called, and got Mike.V's pre-recorded message. Was on hold for 2 minutes, a few seconds in-between Mike.V's voice would come on and say, oh boy, this is embarassing, let me see if I can page the manager.

    It was funny. Then someone answered the phone, no name given so I have no idea who I talked to but it was guy.

    I said I wanted to order a V1, and that went right to the visa/mc question. I had to ask if there was any returned 30 day versions for sale, he checked and said he had one, so now it's on it's way.

    I wish he offered 2nd day air cause I'd like to get it so I can start fiddling with it, no matter, from Ohio to NH shouldn't take that long UPS.

    One thing though I was really close to getting the STI-R after all that I've read on it, but it's performance on getting the fastest I/O bursts made me hold off on it, that, and finding a "authorized retailer" aside from radarbusters (which is already out of stock) was proving to be difficult.

    We'll see how it does on the mean streets of NH lol.

    Just for curiousity, how much for the returned unit?

    As for I/O bursts you will not beat the V1, it will not miss anything in range.

    I think it was $350. I have to email them for a tracking number so I know when to be home otherwise I won't be there to sign for it. Funny cause no email address was asked for at checkout.

    I'm sure the unit is completely trashed with no warranty what so ever. (sarcasm)

    I'd take the extra $50 bucks for a unit that might have been used for 30 days.

    Typically these units are ones returned in the trial period, they are inspected and if anything is scratched they will replace the part, so basically good as new.

    I am surprised they didn't have more returned units, wait a few weeks for the Christmas returns.

    I'm sure they used it for 30 days and sent it back when it looks like a xmas tree from going off so much!!!
