V1 Integration with the ALP

[Vortex]

Looking at the R/G module, it looks like we can only do a STiR or V1, but not both at the same time since they share the same port. I'm thinking about adding a 9500ci head eventually, but if I do that, will I not be able to integrate with the V1 down the line?

Not without switching the cables aroind. Remember we are those crazy enthusiasts that run multiple detectors and jammers.

I thought of another new feature that ALP already offers on the STIR that would be nice on the V1. Segmented K band.

heh that's totally cool to support just one at a time. I'm just thinking of the evolution of my own install and what to buy.

That would be cool. I dunno if that could be done currently since it'd probably be simply an interface with ESP and the V1 would still have its own brains and sweeping methodology.

That is correct it would have to basically mute segments that were not active automatically. Very similar to the StiR integration.

Oh that's how it's done? I figured it was actually adjusting the sweep given that K band segmentation actually is available with the native remote M3 packages. At the end of the day, it's all the same though. With the V1, they certainly could mute the segments, but the alerts would still show up on the V1 screen just like it does with YaV1. We'd get audio muting, but not visual muting.

Sti-R integration does not Mute the segments, The hardware is not sweeping those segments if you turn off certain segments. The ALP is not doing anything differently than the Sti-R Plus or 9500CI would do on their own except passing the alerts when there is one. With the standard V1C when setting sweeps doesn't it do the same thing?

Muting segments is indeed different than not scanning the segments in the first place. The Max band segmentation on Ka, back when it was still available during initial FCC testing, would scan everything and mute what's not needed while Ka segmentation on both the M3 and V1's would actually not scan the frequencies in the first place, hence the performance boost.

I stand corrected. I didn't know that stir was able to segment K band.

It is mostly used in the International versions of the Sti-R Plus but the features were available in the US heads as well.
