Hello from the Netherlands

Hi welcome from Australia, i believe when u put the rd antenna behind plastic, some work better than others thats due to what the plastic is made from some have metals in the mixture when being made beter to have a clear view, or find out what type of plastic, also a we have an international sec http://radarandlaserforum.com/forumd...-International , and in the Australian sec there we have an interest in the stealth SS3 ,system, and would also like any info on the Stinger, models and performance

Welcome from Down under

I believe the reason some ppl prefer the antenna to be high, like at top of WS [Windshield], is b/c they believe if it is mounted low or in the grille, the metal body of the car in Front of you could block the radar signal if it is mounted low.

Both of my RD's are mounted at the top of my WS,one on Driver's side,the other on Passenger side.

The stinger products are from a local dutch company. They are excellent, but very steep price.
The top modell is the stinger vip, for 2300 euro.

Their laser product is not very good, but the intergration is nice.

I used a stinger dsi, still to be found on the web page. But it has lots of problems with false alerts, and it does not detect the multiradar cd until you passed it (my one and only speeding ticket for 3 km to fast) was with one.

We need hidden installs so it has to be relatively low in the front of the car. Than you can go real low and hope the radar signals go below the cars in front of you. Or it is just below the headlights and you need to have signal bounced from objects etc,

I dont use one , this opinion comes from a friend in Ireland , Corkguykev , he found a noticeable
improvment in distance detection .

I have read about the Multiradar cd somewhere on the www,all I know is that it's very low-power output.Maybe it is only radiating the radar signal Forward as the cars pass by it.
Are you using a RD now ?

Have used radar detection since a number of years, last one Stinger DSi.
Also had a AL9 installed.

For my new car, VW Golf GTi pp (mk7) i have ordered a ALP and a Bel sti-r Plus M. (The new stinger is €1000 more expensive than the Bel)

Came to visit this forum as there is lots of info on the ALP to be found.

Do you have any test equipment?
