"AU/NZ Tuned" Radar Detectors - Real or Marketing hype

[StealthMan]

That image posted by "Winterbrew" is of the Escort REDLINE "International Model".
Here is the link to the USA Escort REDLINE model "Owner's Manual".
http://www.escortradar.com/pdf/RedLineManual.pdf
Note Page 13: Overview Of Preferences, RADAR: X, K, Ka, POP.
No K "segmentation" or Ka "segmentation".
No "MTRCD", No "MTRCT", No "STRK".

Unless the Escort REDLINE (corporate webpage) is not up-to-date, it is clear that the "International" REDLINE sold in Au-NZ is different (and superior) to the USA Escort REDLINE.

Over to you 'winterbrew"; what have you been drinking?

Yes, prior to the 2015 Intl Pro-A Redline that I have, all AU/NZ Pro-A's had exactly the same features as the USA mode, just a 'Pro-A' sticker on the RD and box, some of the settings such as X band and POP already turned off and a hefty price tag

Mine's got a build date of around April 2015, and was in the first batch that arrived here. Therefore, probably anything sold here as a Pro-A before that, is just a re-badges US unit

Also it wouldn't be the first time passing off a Bel STi Driver as a tuned for AU/NZ Bel Sti XR (not all the pics work in the first link anymore) ;

I just got a redline a week ago, paid the hefty price tag, and it comes with the K and Ka band segmentation among other things, will post a picture of the quick reference card later today.
Will go google it or look through this forum, but could someone tell me what do the following mean, these were all switched off.
RDR:
MTRCD:
MTRCT:
STRK:

Just figured out what the first 3 are
RDR: When switched on prevents interference from other radar detectors, recommended off, but may give more false alerts.
MTRCD and CT are the new frequency shifting cameras currently operational in some parts of AU.

STRK still a mystery

Strk is a Russian fmcw radar.
Similar to the MRCT.
