    I just pulled a tape along the contour of the front and it was 25 1/2" between the sensor. It looked like 24 3/4" actually between the inside edges of both sensors. If you think that's the problem I can move them closer together or if it would be better buy another sensor. The rear sensors are only 20" apart and I had the same results with pt's.Name:  DSC_0080.jpg

    I'm more conservative than most b/c I understand from the Shooters perspective just how dangerous the D.E.T. Lidars are...especially the very tight laser beam from the "Compact" model. I prefer spacings to be in a tighter window of 18-22". Those outboard TLs on a 'Vette are easy pickin's.

    I was getting the same IPTs on the Rear of member "jibiki's" White 'Vette at the most recent NJ Meet. We were all sooo burned-out from the 99 degree heat & extreme humidity I never got a chance to take a good look at his install to find what was wrong.

    Let me know if you find out. The sensors are 20" apart and I know he was shooting the tail lights.

    I measure center-of-bubble to center-of-bubble b/c the receiving function is the more critical function in this case.
    That makes you close to 27" & a primary factor I believe.

    It's around 26 1/4" on the front and 23 1/2 on the back. The bubble is inboard on the front and outboard on the rear. Does it matter how they are oriented? Thanks.

    Bubble orientation generally doesn't matter, the net effect is basically the 1 inch difference in bubble to bubble distance. The bubble is where the receiver is.

    How old is the system? Was it purchased new from us?

    Were are you located? Are you running current firmware? We're you in Unlimited Jamming? Can't tell you how many systems we test with LID at 4 seconds and of course at 5+ seconds it's IPT.
