Saw a post on another forum from a new ALP user.
Looks like he has the Stir + integration.
He doesn't have bluetooth yet, and is concerned about the different sounds. Not sure about Ka band, as he hasn't heard it yet. Thinks he knows K band based on an encounter, and has seperated 2 seperate laser sounds for 5 different guns.
He was asking if there is posted somewhere, a breakdown of the different sounds. Might be a good idea to post somewhere if it has not yet been done.
We can work on getting something put together but Radar & Laser Alerts are pretty obvious since Laser will scream at you and Radar on the other hand will ramp up very nicely going from slow beeps to faster to really fast and almost a solid tone when right on top of the source. Shame the other forum refuses to Allow the AntiLaser Distributor to answer questions on the site but that is their own doing. Hopefully the member will find his way here or even contact us directly and we will have answers for him.Quote:

Since we have no access to that other forum we cant answer that member but if someone wants to share this KA Alert with them go for it. Below is a regular KA alert for users with the standard ALP w/No Bluetooth & No HiFi Module:Quote:

Hello
The biggest mistake in my opinion was to change the original sound from ALG9 when detecting Lidar.

This sound should be restored for hand held lidar. Please Antilaser do it for old users and also for this that want to use it with STi-R+ connection. It can't be missed with any other sound . . . . I hope you understand me and will change it, at least for EU firmware.

To me , both the present and the old one (Youthan) , are not enough ear grapping.
If i had to vote , i will cast it for one like the Li ...you cant miss it...tough shorter.
In fact , on my first alert : i missed it ...it is like a baby bee ...

Change volume to 5 or get the Hifi when it comes out or use ALP Connect. There are several options to choose from. Want to scare the shit out of yourself use the mute wire to a relay and add an air horn in the car. The options are really unlimited.
Unfortunately, ALP Connect is not an option for those of us who are Android users, not to mention that it doesn't work IN ADDITION TO the normal control module.Quote:

some where in the alp thread, brd will know better how to find it,is a usb push button switch, that allows you the option to quickly change over if you forget ur phone or if the batt goes flat, great little addition

Can anybody say under what circumstances 'error sensitive lidar' can happen. What ALP is detecting in with that sound ?
I think the gun statistics list certain guns as "error sensitive", i.e. guns prone to throwing jam codes. I think DALA is one of them.
Thanks. I was thinking that it is for some interferences, if you have it enabled. Now I can distinguish interference from Lidar on ALG9, if I want to know about it. If not I will hear only a real Lidar.Quote:

What exactly is a "laser scanner" alert? I got hit with that from the rear, when stopped at a traffic signal on city streets.
This one, with yellow LEDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE0EmtyP5Z0#t=86
Poliscan I would be thinking.Quote:

but over the past few months I have only noticed I get these falses if I drive in from the south and I don't get the false if I drive into the shop the opposite way ...I have noticed some IR cameras installed or is it some sort of camera that reads plates
They use those in the US? In California? My ALP started screaming at me with that alert, and I've driven down this road several times since installing the ALP and have never heard that before.Quote:

Strange thing is, I'm in California. I don't think they even use those here, but I've heard that the ALP almost never has false alarms.
Could be Camea IR camera false (Czech camera). On ALP Connect you get a specific camera based alert (happened twice at night with a motorbike with a bright light behind me). I'd also logged 2 Camea alerts in my stats on the release firmware version. Not sure why an AU region CPU alerts to Camea, which is only used in the Czech Republic. ?Quote:

Youthan
It's possible to disable CAMEA and Poliscan by using USB key and alpupdate web site. Also there is some improvements in poliscan detection in new firmware (this is what I found at alpupdate.com)
"4. Poliscan False Rejection user selectable option added. IMPORTANT: Feature does NOT work with ALG9 sensors."
Regarding sounds...
For s$@&s and giggles, I tried my LI tester against the ALP to see what a LIDAR alert sounded like. All of the simulated guns sounded like a low pitched buzz-buzz with the exception of the PL2/Laser Atlanta, which was more high-pitched. Is this OK?
Look at post # 9 for the basic sounds.Quote:
