I have to tell you, this sounds very shady to me. The customer support person I spoke to was great. He said that he was aware of the problem and the fix for it has been out for the last 5 months. I told him that people were complaining about new ones purchased this week. He said that by default it comes with a "slow to full alert beep". The CSR then said that 5 months or so ago, they received many calls asking for Bels traditional style audio ramp up so the programmers added the ability for the change back to the old style ramp up. I asked 3 times to confirm he knew exactly what I was talking about and he assured me that he understood. I've never owned another Beltronics detector so I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. He also said that they would flash my STi with the newest code which they have recently tweaked to provide better detection across the Ka frequencies, especially 33.8. I was suprised he mentioned and talked in depth on the 33.8 problems. I am week 3307 which was supposedly fixed by that time, but I always like newer. |
