View Full Version : Trouble with Suppress

Two weeks ago I added a NetRadar antenna to my system, and I've been having trouble getting GPS radar suppression working effectively. I typically drive the same route to work daily, and this one particular stretch is rife with random radar sources (primarily K-band person detection radar (http://www.xwalk.com/pages/smartwalk-xm-motion-sensor.htm) at crosswalks). Even after using TeachSuppress 6+ times on this stretch, my system still alerts for the same sources. Manually tapping the 'suppress' button doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect either. Attaching a video of my drive today-- the system does seem to be registering the sources when TeachSuppress is on (note the tons of pins already on the map), but the alerts keep coming regardless (all the additional pins/alerts being logged as I go)

Any thoughts on how to fix? Is it possible to tune my settings so each suppression pin has a larger diameter mute area, and/or to mute for a wider range of frequencies?

Did you originally have a different radar antenna? If so you will need to start from scratch and wipe out all old data.

I originally had the STIR antenna, which stopped working after 3 years. I need to manually clear the suppression database before I can suppress alerts with the new antenna? It's not a surprise that radar sources need to be re-learned with the new antenna, but it seems like an odd implementation decision that suppression wouldn't work at all until the old records are completely purged.

With the new BT app there was a complete rewrite of the antenna code and new code with the introduction of multiple antennas needs to store which antenna is seeing what. I would uninstall the app and re-install without updating so you start off fresh. Once you build the database run a Backup DB to wipe out the old backed up version stored on the backup server.

Ok, thanks. I'll follow your instructions and let you know how it goes.

So I'm still having a ton of trouble with GPS suppression. I've taught my ALP every radar source to and from work on a daily basis (either by activating TeachSuppress or manually tapping the 'suppress' button) for the last several months, I've purged and rebuilt the database several times, and still getting TONS of falses. Sadly I've had to resort to muting the entire app. Any suggestions or assistance you can provide is much appreciated

Here's a video I took today that illustrates the issue. You can see from the map all of the times I've already tried to suppress these sources to no avail

I've also tried switching GPS source back and forth from ALP to Mobile. That has not helped either.

Is your ALP up to date and the app as well? With all the latest updates I dont have any issues.
