Default Re: Beltronics STI Driver or Valentine V1

If your going to get a used V1, look for one with firmware version 3.812-.819, as those models are the least visible to the spectre radar detector detector......~400' vs ~1100 for the later models. State police do have some spectres btw.

Sti is a good detector and is invisble to the spectre but lags in performance on some radar bands when compared to the V1.

Hope this helps
Thanks. I appreciate the info.
