Benefits to running the Stinger would be that you'd get arrows, kinda like the V1, but in an integrated setup, but this requires a pricey purchase of a second antenna, which alone costs more than the entire STiR+ system, CPU and all.

    The frequency display issue should be resolved once the AL Display comes out (but to my knowledge, there is not even an estimated date for its release). That's my only complaint about the integrated RD system at the moment; I intend to buy the AL Display when it comes out.
    Thanks for the advice awj223. As I really do not drive extremely fast very often, an ALP Quad w/HiFi & GPS system, along with a full STiR+ system will most likely be what I have installed in my second car. Here in NJ, LEOs still use K-band units, I believe, as well as Ka-band units. I also drive thru Delaware, to Maryland. I do not presently use a smart phone app, nor will I in the future. No matter how good the Stinger system may prove to be in the future, the thought of dropping 5K on that system, plus installation, does not make sense for my driving style. I wish, as you and many others also do, that the display for the ALP system was presently available. I do realize that ALP has more important things to do at the present time and that the ALP display will, hopefully, be available in the future. As the control units for the ALP and the STiR+ will be custom/flush installed in a rectangular storage bin, with a closing cover, in my car's center console area, as will the ALP display (when available), I wish I knew the approximate measurements of the proposed ALP display, in order to place the ALP and STiR+ control units in such a way that there will be appropriate room for the ALP display unit. I'll just have to do the best I can now, and make modifications when the ALP display becomes available in the future. Anyway, Thanks again for your thoughts on the matter.
