Filter mode

Whats the purpose of having these 3 filter modes. Not positive but I remember seeing that the different modes don't affect performance. So whats the point of having these different modes. I have it at just Filter since I don't get many false alerts on my commute.

Prevents the detector from cursing out other detectors with their LO leakage i.e. Crapras and other high leakage detectors.

It filters out pulse-based transmissions that are unlikely to be police radar. The lowest filter settings rejects signals longer than POP but shorter than 100ms or so, while the highest one rejects signals up to 400ms I believe. These are too short to be IO or quick triggered police radar but can be caused by sweeping LO's of detectors.

Whistler gives you the option to turn these filters on and off, while some competitors have default filters upwards of 1000ms that cannot be disabled.
