    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?

    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.

    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.
