Explanation of "Radar filter thresholds"?

[BestRadarDetectors]

Can someone clarify what the "Radar filter thresholds" do?



In this screenshot, the defaults are 3 (yellow) and 5 (red), for example.

1 is full alert, 10 is no alert, says the pop-up bubble.

Just what does this mean? If set to 1, does that mean the radar unit will alert at the slightest signal? Would 10 mean it won't alert unless the signal has maxed out to full?

The ALP gives you custom city filters and you can adjust the sensitivity of the antenna to reduce unwanted false alerts in the city. I personally run in Highway which would be equivalent to running with all filters off but you can play around with the sliders to find a sensitivity that you are comfortable with. You can choose 2 filters (Red & Yellow) and each give you an option for separate X & K sensitivity for each band.
