Ka 34.7 delay. Is this normal?

[seejay1120]

What features? AutoVolume has proven useless against my stereo But automatic nature of TrueLock proved itself the other day when a LEO was sitting at an area that had been struck by lightning. The leo was smack in the middle of a locked out area running K band, which was being locked out.

While on the topic of TrueLock, what does the difference in frequency for a K band to notify in an area under TrueLock?

CJR238's post shows the band "channels":

This topic was hot when the 9500i first came out. IIRC, the RD will alert on any signal NOT in a Truelocked "channel".

It's not really an issue of how far away the frequency is. I believe the last time the Professor checked this, the lockouts were done in blocks of 30 MHz. This may or not be the same now, since this was checked on a 9500i, not a 9500ix and there has also been a 9500i firmware update since this was checked what seems like a couple of years ago now. So, if the LEO is within the same 30 MHz wide block and you are inside the lockout radius, there will be no audible alert on the 9500, only a spinning satellite icon.

Auto volume works best at 2 bars (if you didn’t try that) and especially with a remote speaker. Speed trap alerts that saved me 2 times, RLC's, Auto noX (love it in NYC), Voice announcing so you don’t need to look at the unit when changing a setting...

Check out my sticky in my sig, but K band is broken into ~8 30MHz blocks.

LEO's run around 24.150 so any falses that are locked out that run lower than ~24.134 and higher than ~24.165 you will be alerted if a LEO is running radar at that same spot. If the false is also 24.150 it will be locked out. However TrueLock/AutoLearn also relies ona LEO's radar strength. A LEO's radar will be received much farther than any false, and because it usually alerts only when its real you will be cautious when getting an alert near a locked out area.

AutoLearn added a few additional features as well that are also in my sticky.

That clears up a lot thank you!

We have no speed cameras or red light cameras yet here in Syracuse. If they ever come, I'm ready. I do have a few manual speed traps set up so I won't be caught off guard if I'm speeding really fast.

Yeah thats what the NY State Troopers use.

So say the LEO was parked there looking for speeders. Would that delay of alert cost me?

Most of the troopers actually still use the Stalker Dual - Which is almost as deadly. Only newer cars and mostly SUVs ust the DSR.

What kind of car do you have and what kind of windshield?

So I had another encounter with a NY State Trooper cruiser today....

I was coming down a slight slope approaching an intersection when I get a Ka band alert. So I see in front of me a NY State Trooper. The antenna mounted behind the rear window looked just like the one the Stalker DSR uses. The vehicle looked brand new, with the all new LED flashing lights and all that stuff, so I would guess they are using the latest in Stalker technology.

So I'm in point blank range with the rear antenna, only one other car approaching beside me. The signal strength at point blank range fluctuated from one bar for a few seconds, back up to full or almost full for a second or so, and would diminish back to one bar. There would also be times when the meter didn't detect the signal at point blank. I eventually moved into the right lane as he stayed in the left. For a couple miles, no signal was detected at just a hundred or so feet away. After a few more miles of no detected signal, I suddenly got a full alert, which diminished to one bar for another half mile until I turned into my neighborhood. Throughout this entire experience, we were in motion going the same direction.

I wish I took a video of this, but county law prohibits the use of a cell phone for any function whatsoever . My iPhone would've been perfect for this.

I can include more details.

Sounds like he was using I/O or QT.

Don't know if this has anything to do with your experience, but my old 8500 x50 would sometimes fail to alert at all if I pointed the antenna from my KR10 SP Radar directly at it! If I pointed the KR10 antenna in the opposite direction I would then get a full alert. My conclusion was that it is possible to overdrive the input of some Radar Detectors with an extremely strong signal.

This is also why i don’t like Q/T tests done 4" from the RD.
