Previously my dual setup had been JTG against the Truspeed but CM only with PT's on lights with the DE. The TX is very impressive.
    Which DE? DETC or Speedlidar?

    I JTG Speedlidar without an issue on my setup. The main difference between my setup and yours is that my TX is mounted 21.5" above the ground. Yours is much higher.

    I've been chatting with various experts and I think it's safe to say that TX heads should AT LEAST be 24" off the ground.

    I will be replacing my grill with a carbon fiber grill that doesn't have the fucking three pointed star. Should make the install much easier.

    Given my results we don't believe it's an issue of receiving the signal, but the tx must be fucking around with the rx with unwanted reflections.

    It doesn't explain why I can JTG the Speedlidar though.

    The perks of the tags have helped in the past. They have got me off more than once I'm sure but its all in ones run of luck.
    I don't run them anymore. These days you don't want anything that helps certain people to remember you.

    My TX is 25" off the ground. Tested JTG against Dragon full size (2017) and Truspeed SX.

    Dragoneye full size (speedlidar) was not an issue for me. JTG for everything. The challenge is not with that gun.

    so Tom saying this, we still should mount the TX sensor at least 20inch off the ground still correct?.. And we now want the TX in line with the RX sensors?.. Just trying to understand this better. And are you suggesting a second tx sensor for certain applications now?
    thx Tom

    TX does not have to be in line, separation is actually preferred with TX being higher in most cases. Minimum of 20" is still required if someone wants to use the TX. No one needs more than one TX sensor on any end of a vehicle.

    ok so just for clarification purposes, if i have my tx sensor mounted higher than my RX sensors, i want no more than 30 inches from outside rx to middle tx to outside rx?.

    30 inches is stretching it a bit. TX sensor higher is good.

    @angrypenguin. I agree with you so don't take this as an argument. Sometimes on these forums my grammar gets folks hair up even if I sugar coat it.

    I knew when I ordered my TX for the rear I would be rolling the dice but what the heck I have this spare RX left over from the front TX install so.....

    Anyways in reflecting on all the encounters I can remember since 2004 or 5 (can't remember) when I installed my Lidatek LE30 Dual jammers and measuring on maps my best guess for an average distance is about 1000feet. I do get targeted regularly here in town in two places both 1800 feet. From what I gather 1000 feet is on the short side but in the city its probably not so much.

    Anyways............. Right Wrong or indifferent with the dragon's beam width specified at 2.5 ft. (30 inches) @1000 feet the picture below is a close representation of what I can hope NOT for eh? And if he is not using a tripod, rifle stock, or laying across his hood (LOL) I may get lucky.

    We will be testing Next Week.
