650 miles driven with Ka gaurd off ....Its not worth it !

[kkoshko]

I drove only about 50 miles to my brothers house on i96 in Michigan, and it falsed the whole way...i was slamming on my breaks every i don't know 3 miles. Really annoying. Verdict= keep ka gaurd ON! The only sucky part is all my leos run 35.5

so how would ka guard off compare to RDR off on an STI-R? Everyone praises STI-R QT performance with RDR off but does it yield the same KA falsing as V1 like that?

With Ka band segmentation on the STI-R Plus you can block out small segments of Ka band, like 33.6, where almost all the Cobra falses are. At the same time, you can leave RDR off and still get the good QT response. So no, you will not get the same Ka falsing that you will get on the V1 with Ka guard off.

At least with the Guard off, it is a great learning tool to teach one how to find sources (lol). With 16 years usage, a weak Ka just lifts my foot off of the gas. If your in a metro area or in a lot of traffic, leave the Guard on. But the problem is that one will miss the 1 LED alarms and far off somtimes like the Redline reports. Example 3 hours ago, Ka Guard on, over the hill C/O alarm started at 2-3 LEDs. If I had the Guard off, 1 LED alarm about 5 seconds sooner plus an off axis killer nose, that is why GOL tested the 3.872 V1 with the Guard off, it performs......

Im scared that the guard will filter out a weak KA or confuse it for a crap rd. To me the mute button has became my best friend. I think if anyone gets a KA alert they slow down automatically.
