    Default Periodic Laser Alerts on STi-R, but not on V1 or LI Quad??

    Today I had four separate laser alerts on the STi-R, but my V1 and the LIQuads remained silent. Visual scans all around each time revealed no hiddien LEO's that I could see. What would cause that, and whatever it is- why isn't it setting off the other sensors??

    I've had this setup installed and running since early February, and this is the first time I've had this kind of falsing. And, the Ka performance of this STi-R is awesome -- I had a couple saves this week that was impressive as heck. Sorry I didn't have my camera onboard at the time.

    What was the sun doing at this time?

    Seriously was the sun rising or setting, sometimes this will cause this.



    Another thing: If the Sti-R is hardwired, check your connection, Belscorts have long been know to alert to laser when their connections are sub-par. It is possible it has started to corrode or wiggle loose...


    Try taking both the positive/negative off of it, cleaning them up if they need it, and putting them back in.

    Near an airport by any chance?

    Bright sunshine at the time, but I got the alerts both into and away from the sun.

    I'll check the connections this weekend, that's an idea.

    I <was> in the vicinity of McChord AFB.... are there sources there? Why would they not set off the LI or V1?

    Thanks for the ideas, I'll keep monitoring its performance.

    It could possibly be airport LIDAR used for tracking micro-burst wind patterns. It's used to help prevent aircraft accidents. I was on a United Airline flight taking off from Denver and at the last moment Air Traffic Control warned the aircraft of the microburst; so it aborted the takeoff--what an experience.

    My STi-R alerts to newer Chrysler 300's for some reason. Scares the crap out of you.

    x2, the STi-R goes nuts on Laser Cruise Control, it always alerts FIRST. Then as I approach the oncoming vehicle, about 1 - 5 seconds later I'll get a blinder hit, but sometimes I won't get a blinder hit at all. It's scary how good the laser detection is on STi-R

    Yeah, I guess so. Of course, it still seems like the blinders or LI should be as / nearly as sensitive as the STi-R

    I have noticed the same thing with my STi-R in the past. once I was all by myself no other cars around (so no laser CC to set it off) I chocked it up to the sun. the V1 never went off
