Is my Beltronics radar detector broken ?

Hey All,

I am an issue with my Beltronic radar detector and I would like to find out if any of you have seen the same problem and have a fix for it.

The model is Bel 950. I have been using it for more than 2 years. The problem started right after the manufacture warranty expired (about a year ago) . ARGH !!!

If I leave the radar detector running for a while and cycle the power, it will keep beeping and display error message, "calibration error". If I let it cool down for a while (10-15 minuites) and turn in on again, it will work just fine.
The problem will also occur if I park the car under the sun for about 10 minutes and the temperature inside the car goes up more than 90F.

I have emailed Beltronics customer service and they asked me to send in the radar detector for service which would cost me $75 or more ... I don't want to spend that kind of $$$ since I only got it for around $200.

Any info, help or comments on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Cheers !!!
