You don't have any idea what you are talking about. The Bel STi does not have a rear facing radar antenna, it only has 2 forward facing radar antennas (one for X band and the other for K and Ka band.) Valentine Research has the patent on multiple radar detecting antennas facing opposite directions with arrows so every other detector lacks a rear radar antenna and arrows to "locate" radar.
But what do I know, I only have internal pictures of the Bel STi and Bel makes no mention on their website of this imaginary rear radar antenna that you think is inside of the Bel STi.
Please show me where the rear radar antenna is located inside the Bel STi in this picture. There is a rear laser port but that is nothing special and laser is not the same thing as radar.
You also claim that any detector can detect radar from the rear because radar bounces and will hit the antenna anyway. Let's examine the last rear radar detection test that was done in the year 2000. Their is a reason that the Valentine One can detect Ka band radar from the rear that is over 2.5 miles away while every other brand struggles to detect it .5 miles away. Ka band is the band most widely used by police so it is extremely important to excel in this area.
