    GA Testing Group/RALETC LIDAR Testing - 11/9

    so we had our regular GA testing meet today and some of the guys from RALETC came down from NJ as well - YellowCab, Tom/BRD and SLO-STI made the trip and brought some of their toys as well. thanks again to them for taking their time to make the flight down and joining us. it was good to meet them as well as to see old faces and meet some other new guys as well. and of course, get some great testing done with the latest guns.

    YellowCab did most of the shooting. we also had a drop-in appearance from RedAlert who brought his old Stalker v1 and tore some people up.

    overall we found some install issues:
    - Nick had his rear jammers facing skyward during the first gun test. he realigned them and you can see all further tests were solid. he also had the LF jammer head toed out, which caused PTs on the LF headlight.
    - I had my rear jammers facing down a couple of degrees. this was mostly problematic at the end of the course where the road goes back uphill and the angle between the shooter and the car increases and that's where the PTs were happening on the tougher guns. I couldn't fix this today, but will be shortly.
    - 64pvolvo1800 had rear head alignment issues as well that were evident throughout.

    as far as guns go, ALP had no problem with the DET #5 or the Compact, outside of install issues.

    the Tru SX was really showing it's strength, as usual, chewing through even the best installs at one point or another. even an install like Hussein's that was rock solid on the DET #5 had a hard time. the main points of issue were where the road has dips, bumps or changes elevation. there's a lot of that on this course and with the 400pps rate of the SX, it only takes an opening of milliseconds for it to get a reading. this is certainly going to be a very dangerous gun to watch for in the wild.

    the PT distances are listed. where there's only one listed, there was only a PT at that specific distance.

    Looks like some vehicles did not get tested on all guns? Was the test done in gun-order as shown? Looks tidy on the right, but bloody red on the left, SX, DET 5.

    Would also be nice to see the vehicle types for each...

    Not everyone was able to stick around for all guns and not everyone was there on time for the first guns.

    Yes. The DET and Truspeed SX tore up some installs

    ALP Quad 2F/2R
    Itronics ITB HD100 SP 1F/1R

    At first glance, I am curious why Nick's rear is solid w/ the Tru SX, not w/ the DET #5, and for me it is opposite.

    Edit: Nevermind, forgot about the alignment.

    I only tested against a few guns and then stepped out of line to tweak my rears. They were taped only and had sagged badly. Retest was w taped fresh but I'm going to add the brackets too. May even go triple on the rear.

    ALso, I think Shifter has Trader listed wrong. I am pretty sure he was running an ALP 3 Head. 2 in the front and one in the Rear which is why his rear performed so bad.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Shifter had me listed as K40, which is wrong. I am running old blinder M47 in front and Blinder M27 on the rear. I did not run new gun because I know my old unit will not even detect these new guns.

    If the list is being updated for accuracy, mine should show as ALP quad.

    Thanks to Tom and Yellowcab for coming down. I enjoyed meeting both of them and picking their brains. Thanks to Shifter and GASpeed also. VERY Big Thanks to CRM for the help with the sensor realignment on the rear.
