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.

Tom, With your answer above in mind, I am about to have an ALP Quad w/HiFi and GPS installed in my second car. (First car had ALP Quad w/HiFi and GPS, along with a full STiR Plus system installed). I need to make a decision as to whether I will have a separate complete STiR Plus system installed, or have an Escort 9500ci antenna, or an STiR Plus antenna, installed as a part of the new ALP Quad system. I will not be using a smart phone. I am aware of the features I will not have by installing a 9500ci or STiR Plus antenna on the ALP system.

Do you have a recommendation ? What system/systems do you have in your personal car ?

Thanks in advance !

I use Sti-R Integration in both my cars but false alerts dont bother me. If false alerts are a nuisance and you want to ignore them you need to go full Sti-R Plus at this time.
