Does an SE interfere with an M4

[Michael B]

Whith both units sweeping and placed horn to horn they needed to be more than 12ft apart to not cause any interference during normal operation.

With both units sweeping and placed side by side they needed to be 4ft apart to not notice any occasional interference during normal operation.

Again, this was with 1 sample of an M4 and 2 samples of an SE.
If your M4 or SE is more or less sensitive than mine, your results may differ.

One think to note, it you pressed the menu button on the SE, the unit will stop sweeping and cause the M4 to alert in the neighborhood of 35.45 even at the distances noted above because it stops sweeping.

The M4 does not stop sweeping when enterning the menu mode so it does not create the issue to the SE that the SE creates to the M4 during the menu function.

Thanks MIke ! Im curious how the m3 does with the SE. I wonder how V1 Does with a SE. i can send you my V1 sometime.

Will post sometime next week when I have time to check.

Thanks Mike It would be interesting to see M3 vs M3 as well

At times, I have noticed that K-band suffers on the V1 and so I have refrained from running them together. Although I don't recall they were exactly 4 feet apart (like Mike determined with the M4s).

This is great info, though, and I can use this new knowledge when out in LA, next week.

One thing to consider, though, is that at 4 feet, with some windshields the curvature will tend to point them to the sides a little bit, potentially giving each one a slightly different point of view.

I really love that Mike is willing to actually invest time into this as I don't believe there have been any previous lab analytical looks at this (at least with public disclosures).

I too would be interested to see how other combinations work out.

This is groundbreaking work as far as I am concerned. Hopefully he will be able to try different combos. This is scientific work at it's best.

I am glad we can agree on something. It's been a while for that.

It is actually hard to believe that it has taken so long for such tests (publicly disclosed, that is). Mike is da man.

Certainly goes to show that we are capable of much more working with one another, as opposed to working against each other.

In all honesty, I do not know why other manufactureres do not take a more open approach to sharing information with this community. The truth is often not nearly as bad as the myths that have been established.

Thanks for sharing this Michael.
