I received my Sti-R a few days ago. I was messing with it last night and will be installing tonight. Pics to Follow.

I am a bit disappointed about the build quality. Over all it is not bad, but for what it costs I guess I expected a bit more. My biggest complaint is the cheap buttons for the volume, mute and mode. It looks and feels like a kids toy. You can still make out the marks where they removed pieces to clean up the plastic from the injection molding. It feels cheap when you press the buttons - Not really what I expected. If it significantly beats other detectors on Ka then I guess I do not care, but on a high end car the buttons will not blend well.

Anyways there is an additional feature in the manual that I have not seen on the Bels before. There is an option to shut off the junk radar detector filtering. I can only assume that this will increase range. I only have a K band gun and my LA, so I'll shoot it tonight and see if it alerts to stealth mode unlike my regular Sti.
