so i got my Magnum back and went out for a ride with both units on
my Magnum kills my STiR plus by a long shot
gets a good 5 second head start before my STiR even sees treat
do you guys think there is a problem with my STiR ?

I would find a sitting Leo or a door opener (K band) and check each unit one at a time and then both together, then with different settings (segment and RDR off). Did you have problems before? The Sti remote should out perform the Mag.. If the remote head is in a bad spot (or pointing down or not straight), that could be part of the problem. If you can the remove the remote head and stick it up high and then check there to see if it is a low location problem....(each Rd may alarm first due to the location and freq, can vary at times)...
STi is low in my grill
and i did pass some Leos thats why i was supper pissed that magnum got the hit first
magnum stater at 1 bar and kept going up
and Sti picked up at 4 bars
It has always amazed me that detectors like the magnum don't eat the sti-r for lunch regularly seeing that the sti-r is mounted down low in the grill and many many times should see a radar signal a whole lot later no matter their better sensitivity.
sincerely yours,
very confused Rd user. :D
so what is RDS TSR & POP for
i got them all off and magnum still kills it
and just went by 2 leos both parked side by side with ka on
both parallel to me and RD only picked them up as i was passing them
no warning i did see the cops before my RD did
also what if i aim the RD in my grill slightly up would that help at all
or will i just be reading the sky
Sorry, I don't own a STIr. RDS- Radar Detector Segmenting? No clue?......RDR- radar detector rejection....TSR- traffic sensor rejection.....POP- MPH POP 33.8 or k band.....Antenna should be level/and forward straight, never downward.......The antenna should not be hid deep in the grill for it needs to see somewhat.......It maybe your settings. You have to segment for great performance. The Mag may perform about the same with the STIr+ (not segmented) according to test that I've seen.......There are some threads/post on setting the unit. Do you have a manual?......If the STIr+ alarm started at 4 bars is telling me that you have a filter on or your antenna is blocked by the mounting location....
only thing blocking my antenna is my grill
can you recommend some settings for both units
or a link to the setup tread please
Perhaps the officer(s) were shooting in the same direction you were traveling (away from you).. Some radar units are also harder to detect than others.Quote:
