Did I do Something Wrong?

[TQUILL]

I have noticed that on real threats the STi-R alerts first most of the time, but on doe openers and other false threats the V1 does better.

I presume as mentioned above this is due to the filtering in the STi-R.

Not in highway mode though right? Are you talking about autoscan I assume?

No in highway mode.

Ah, I didn't know the Sti-r filtered anything in highway mode.

I am assuming it does, since it seems to pick up less false threats than the V1 but still picks up real threats as fast or faster than the V1.

Thanks guys for the feedback and real life experience. Looks like all is well. Just need some real radar to test.

It most certainly filters K and Ka band in Highway mode. The RDR settings set to off remove some filtering for Ka related to junk detectors.

There needs to be another setting where ALL (or mostly all) filtering is removed.

Should the STi-r alert readily to a Bushnell k band shot, ie the STi-r shouldn't filter the Bushnell, right?

I test fired a few times and its hit or miss when I fire the Bushnell within the car. I'm really wondering if there is something wrong with K band. No Ka hits yet to judge.

were you doing the bushnell as quick trigger? or holding the trigger down?
if i do quick trigger with my bushnell, the STI - R picks it up 1/5 times. the v1 gets it pretty much every time. so that's normal. belscort was never top dog at I/O shots.

and are you saying it NEVER picks it up? or ocasionally

[thx1138]

I hold the bushnell trigger for like 3-5 seconds and I cannot get the Sti-r to alert unless I get out of the car and move the bushnell closer to the front of the car. If I'm parked in the garage I sometimes get an alert if I aim it forward and the signal hits the wall and bounces toward the receiver.

I would expect it to alert easily to the bushnell no matter which way I aim it given the proximity of the radar source to the receiver.

Update: I pulled the receiver out this afternoon, got an RA number and sent it back for a new receiver. Hopefully the 2nd unit will be right.
