AL Priority Radar Package (ALP RG Module + Beltronics Sti-R Plus) BEE III

[BestRadarDetectors]

I installed it in my car and find it very chatty. It gives warning sooner than my bel magnum did. I had to disable x band. I will need to turn it back on in NJ. On my 3 mile ride to work I was getting 8 alerts.

You can quiet it down with TSR ON just like the Redline but it will slow down its reactivity. Once it gets Auto Mute it will be much more bearable and once GPS antenna is connected you can have it ignore both radar and laser alerts under a preset speed.

This lagging issue, is that gonna be addressed?

Yep A lag for sure, and thats not a good thing

I have never seen a long lag like this and you can see that from any of the videos I posted. Slight delay but nothing like in your video. One thing I did notice is that you have the Sti-R Plus antenna facing forward and the Redline antenna is in the rear. Try turning the Sti-R Plus antenna facing away from you because you might be over driving the antenna being so close and aiming directly into the horn.

ST was firing the gun away from the RD with his body in the way.
Shouldn't matter about over driving anyway.
Moment the LO + RF loop is excited, doesn't matter if its 0db or -150db, will have the same reaction in the software on the RD.
I say the lag is between the BT device and the software.

Fire gun ---- rd figures out that it was hit, sends data to bt mod, bt then sends a packet to the mobile, the software then needs to understand what its being told and load up the correct alert.
To be honest, I say the lag is in the BT to software stage.
You have 3 cpus with ALP, the sti cpu, the bt cpu and then phones vs the 1 cpu in the redline.
Naturally there will be some lag but 2.4 seconds is a bit too long IMO.

Maybe we need a Android version to come out...

Thanks for your comments! The STI-R radar antenna is somewhat slower to react then V1, you can make it faster by disabling all Ka segments except the one you need. RDR/TSR OFF is also a Must to reduce delay.
If you have a Bel STIR control unit you can test your STI-R antenna with it and it should have almost the same delay (Bands & filters setup the same off course) as over the ALPConnect.

The main goal of the small test was to see how they all preformed on a sorta level playing ground, with no tweaks.
Yes, next time they wont be placed as close together as there was a small bit of chatter between the RD's, also I will enable segmentation and the other features and compare again. K is the only band used in my area that I live so as long as it preforms well on that band, I'm a happy man.

One question that I have about the STI-R+ Head, it has a IR receiver in it, is this in anyway communicated to the ALP CPU as it would help determine it final mounting location on my car.
Thanks

No, The Laser Receiver in the Sti-R Plus is not used.

Yes PLEASE redo your test and put the Sti-R into combat mode 2-5-8- X/RDR/TSR OFF please and see if you still have that delay when shooting KA---Thanks!!!
