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.

Thanks. I don't know if this is a warranted concern (just thinking out loud), but considering I drive a small-med size sedan and there are issues that we're working through, I'm interested to see how bigger cars, let alone trucks, are dealing with this issue. Thankfully it's cheap for me to buy a used grill off of Kijiji so I plan to hack the heck out of this thing to find the ideal placement and then I'll install it on a new used grill so it looks better
And interesting that you mentioned "pair of tx sensors" in your OP. Wasn't that an idea I was going for on the other forum?![]()

I have an Infiniti Q50S with 2 RX mounted below the plate and 1 TX at the top of the grill. Tested with Alex at KMPH and was JTG against his newest DE and Truspeed SX, CM and headlights / fog-lights. Previously my dual setup had been JTG against the Truspeed but CM only with PT's on lights with the DE. The TX is very impressive.
Which DE? DETC or Speedlidar?
I JTG Speedlidar without an issue on my setup. The main difference between my setup and yours is that my TX is mounted 21.5" above the ground. Yours is much higher.
I've been chatting with various experts and I think it's safe to say that TX heads should AT LEAST be 24" off the ground.
I will be replacing my grill with a carbon fiber grill that doesn't have the fucking three pointed star. Should make the install much easier.
Given my results we don't believe it's an issue of receiving the signal, but the tx must be fucking around with the rx with unwanted reflections.
It doesn't explain why I can JTG the Speedlidar though.
