    So here is a great explanation of RDR from the other forum: Also POP is not used by anyone and is not a form of radar enforcement thats legal. You want to keep the option set to MAX under your Stalker laser settings

    RDR- When RDR is activated (default is on) two or more consecutive sweeps of Ka band are required before setting off an alert. This allows to confirm if the initial alert is real or a false alert and if it should be suppressed. With RDR off it will trigger an alert on the 1st detection, no filtering at all.

    We know turning off RDR will increase the range by quite a bit. However you will get falsing, especially from other RD's, so this is where you will want to Segment Ka to eliminate sweeping specific parts of the Ka Bandwidth were false signals reside but no real radar exists, like below 33.7 (ka1). Segmenting other portions of Ka will also help increase range/response, though RDR is the main feature increasing range/response.

    The most popular radar bands used are 34.7 Ka 35.5 Ka & 33.8 Ka, so those segments you will not want to leave off (turn on 2/5/8).

    Thanks guys for your help. I enabled X and K band to make sure my STiR+ receiver was working and it did trigger at a Safeway grocery market. So, that's a good thing. I guess there are not that many Ka band false triggers. I set it up to what you suggested for the Ka radar segments.

    One last question. You mentioned to set the Stalker to MAX sessions. In the description it gives, it says may provide a Jam signal with Stalker guns. Is this if you dont JTK in enough time? if so, is 4 sec still good enough or you need to kill it earlier so that they don't get the Jam signal?

    It mostly effected older guns anyway and should not be a big concern. You can also get a Jam code if aiming at a telephone pole so its not unusual to see one. I would set it at 4 seconds and if you are in a situation where you can kill even quicker just press any button on the controller during the alert to kill it immediately.
