How does it compare to Beltronics STI Magnum? And if it's so great, how come it's so much cheaper than Magnum?

kuzmin.cathis is not even close. The sti magnum is so much better with range. it is the leader right now in all radar detectors in range. this is still an ok budget radar detector.

Skibike01I am looking to get another radar detector. Quite intrigued by this one, though reading your previous comment, I am also now very interested by the STI Magnum.
I'm currently using a V1 (just have it upgraded recently to the latest spec). Any thought on how STI Magnum compares to V1?

nelsonNot sure about V1 but STI Magnum is amazing. My friend owns one and he drove across USA from Toronto to Florida a few times, and it saved him so much stress, money and time.. He says STI Magnum was on all the time, sometimes it gave false positives (not too frequently) but never false negatives. He says it's hard to count how many times he would drive 160 kmh, the device would go off, he would drop the speed, and a few kilometers down the road, yep, here they are. Back to 160. And he never had any issues with cops for using the device. As far as we know, is pretty much completely undetectable. Let's just say that my friend didn't mind paying a little extra for the address security and quality. There is no way this plastic device is as invisible as STI Magnum in it's metal case.

nelsonSti is the Record holder for long distance but does not have the false alarm blocking if the v1. It is the best by far for highway driving where the v1 is amazing for around town. Check out vortex radar on YouTube he is amazing on reviews. Also check out rdform it has info on all radar detectors.
