    Not only does TX have additional transmitters it enables the regular two sensors to both become receivers when necessary to offer you double the receiving capability giving you much greater coverage. You really want a receiver within 24" of every target area on your vehicle. When using only 2 sensors only one sensor can receive giving one side of your car a disadvantage being far away from that receiver.
    Just learned something new - thank you. I've spent all morning reading up on how this system works so was not aware of this info until now. Thanks

    I could have sworn both still receive when they're hit but I can easily test that as I have a laser jammer tester. I can always just point it to one receiver to trigger the system, and then point it to the other I guess. Anyways, not a big deal

    I'm really looking forward to RALETCs testing results. ALP dual heads already show pretty good results as per their testing against VPRs. Would be very interesting to see them compare a traditional two head front setup vs two heads + tx.

    The reality is that being an attentive driver + using WAZE, I'm already turning my ALPs into receive only 90%+ or more before I get hit with LIDAR. And only about 10% of the hits are with VPR guns.

    If there's a drastic improvement between using two ALP heads up front vs two ALP heads + a tx, then absolutely worth the investment. I guess it's hurry up and wait then

    PS - I can definitely see the point of using two heads + a tx on a car like a F150 or something, but on a smaller sedan, that's a pretty tough value proposition, but to each their own!
