I got all my detectors from Bel directly (except V1). I send them back once a year to be re-tuned (even the 980). There is a specific Tech I talk to and he takes care of my concerns. Both of my units were "hand picked" by him (at least that is what he said, could be a load of BS)
I am confident that this one is working fine and the distances are fairly good on Ka band.
This is my 2nd return of the Sti - The first one falsed on K band once I started it up. 2rd was sent back for the 33.8 fix. This regular Sti beats my Rx-65, 980 and my older V1 on Ka each and every time, but not by much.
Sti-R has been better on K and Stalker Ka the majority of the time. I have most Ka bands disabled now. The Tech I spoke to said under certain circimstances K and Ka reception on the Sti - R could be significantly better than the STI-R - especially with junk detector filtering off. Also there are some off axis K alerts I get just on the remote, but at the same time nothing on the STi.
To what testing are you referring - Multinova in other countries? I have seen few direct tests against Ka bands used in the USA - Do you know where I can find them?
