Over Hill Test Results

^^ That made the tests even more controlled then. Neat to know that.

Good test guys.

X2 Thanks guys for the time to run all these units and share the data. Curious why the 34.7 runs with the V1 had so much variation. Also is the STI Driver the Sti-r or a windshield mount? Looks like the CI owns 34.7 with straight ahead sensitivity. How did you get such precision on your mileage readings?

I was wondering if anyone has done any controlled quick trigger testing, especially on Ka.
Hint--Hint---wanna run another test?

MEM-TEK was right.... I hate addictions. Since I was a co runner of this test its only fair I answer some questions.

STI Driver was a winshield unit date code 2508. Never sent in for ramp-up fix.

34.7 Look closely at all the V1 runs, DJ's and Mine. On his runs where his scored .4x in distance his V1 was able to see over the hill. My V1 never did scoring .2x etc .
The Ci saw over the hill each run, as did the STI, and DJ's V1 on 2 runs, but all other units didnt see over it, alerting at .2x closer to the crest of the hill.

Dj used a handheld gps unit to measure the alert distance with such precision.

Yeah, no idea. That's why we did a 4th run, to try to figure out WTF, but it didn't help. The results are what they are. I'm not smart enough to know why the results happen like they do.

I used a Garmin 60CSx. Here's a picture of the display from my long ass bike ride the other day.

Figure on the V995 being exactly representative of an X50. That should make you quite happy.

Keep in mind that I did do a very small tweak to DJ's V1 to give its forward antenna a bit more bias. It was the least I could do since he let me borrow it for so long for testing purposes and since he gave me permission to fully disassemble it in order to take photos of its design and construction. I will NOT disclose, publicly or privately, exactly what I did. Yet also keep in mind that the tweak resulted in a relatively minor change in overall performance. In other words, most of the performance difference is due to firmware versions.
