The 980 was always my favorite. I only received 1 ticket and that was from laser while using it for 5 years. After I bought an Rx-65 I sent the 980 back to Bel and they tuned it up for me and added a louder speaker and a new power cord. I keep it in my glove box as a backup and use it with the convertible, since the volume is a bit louder than the STI and RX-65 (and its the only vehicle without the external bel speaker).
On Ka band it is very very close to the RX-65 and not too far from the STi. Its looks are aging but its been a very good detector. When bel offered to take it as a trade in on the newer detectors, I just could not bear part with it. |
