Newest firmware K band Gatso24 issues

[BestRadarDetectors]

I'm fairly certain WB, I factory reset my ALP then reapplied my settings with the file attached to this>
Setup.txt


I couldn't upload it as an alp file.. Rename it to Setup.alp then check it with the ALP update site, they are the exact settings I am running.

Setup file is not a text file. Its an .alp file. When saving the file try to save it directly to your USB drive. Some computers since the file might already exist from previous downloads it will save it and rename it. Saving the file directly to a clean USB Drive will prevent that issue. I also suggest you keep the file on the USB Drive so when you perform future updates the file will re-load at each update.

Tom,
If you read the bottom of that post it does say you need to rename it to Setup.alp, I switched the extension to .txt because you have vbulletin configured to only accept jpg, gif, txt etc all the usual attachments and nothing non standard, it is actually a ALP setup file if you download it rename it accordingly and upload it to alpupdate.

Its very strange.
Just spoke to ST and he mentioned that his Redflex detection is horrible as well now.

This issue has now made ALP useless against about 80% of all photoradar world wide
Or 100% of PhotoRadar used in Australia.

Tom?
ALP Rep???

Going to drive down the coast tonight and do another run.
Will have the Redline running as well for reference.

And this is why now I keep 2 CPU's. One with latest firmware & One with previously known working FW. If the STIR has been handicapped, to reduce falses, it might need to go back to what it was or have a MAX sensitivity mode with no filter in ALPconnect

Well since updating to the newest firmware, K band detection of Gatso24 has dropped considerably.

I thought maybe something was wrong with my setup but Dragons just confirmed it with his STI-R on ALP.

I am just uploading the video now, but normally we get about a 300 to 700m detection.
Last night and today we has only gotten about 50m...
I started to notice a change the day after I installed the new firmware.
Cameras I normally got 500m warning dropped right down which I chalked off to weather.
Then a few days back, a mobile van I normally get 300-400m off of, didn't alert until almost on top of it.
Last night, had a very close call with a van that was running K.
I was lucky because he left his hazard lights on which saved my arse...

Any suggestions on fixing this?
Is there going to be a fix?

Or option 3, I still have a copy of the last firmware, can I downgrade back to that?
Edit: Cant downgrade :/

This is really concerning...


Old firmware detection range:
This video has the same camera in it as the one that I only have 50m warning with last night.


Now this is the same camera as the one tested last night by Dragons and I (as you can see the old firmware had decent range)

Note the range and detection

This video has the failure, you will see 1 really close call, I was lucky I noticed the van on the side of the road, otherwise that would have been a $150 fine.
The second and third cameras are the same bridge ones as above, the only difference is firmware.


Dragons is uploading his video now to back this up.

Tom, ALP rep, what can we do to fix this as it seems to only affect Gatso detection...
K band falses seem to be going off in their usual spots.

I've also noticed that Poliscan alerts from the toll point are delayed as well...
Don't fully trust my setup now considering I almost got a speeding fine by the changes...

all i can hear is disco music

how come no one over the water, had any probs

[dinkydi]

just had a shitty thought, hope i'm wrong, but us ozzies always seem to get the shit, if it,s not happening in the States

Just drove down to the coast and tested. Redline detected at 300m. Alp was again 50m or so. Did a few runs. Same issue.

Sounds like there is a problem,guys.AFAIK we do not have Gatsos in the USA & only a couple of States have the Poliscan radar.I do not have "married" set-ups like you do between AL-P laser & radar detection combined.Nor do I use Blue Tooth,either...I prefer to keep things simple & separate just for the reasons you all are now confronted with.
What a P.I.T.A. !

Nothing was changed with radar. When you do a firmware update you will also need to reload your setup file or all settings will go to Default, Try reloading your setup file with all your band segmentation settings, Etc. I keep my setup file on the USB Drive I use to update my firmware so when updated it automatically reloads my settings.
