Explanation of "Radar filter thresholds"?

[radargeek]

If you want GPS lockouts or frequency display, I'd recommend getting a full STiR+ or 9500ci system (or a windshield mount RD) installed.

The only real advantage to integrating with ALP is to consolidate alerts and to display everything on one display (if you were going to use the smartphone app).

I use the integrated STiR+ system, but I don't get falses despite not having GPS due to only running one Ka segment. If I had to run K band frequently, I'd go with the full STiR+ for GPS lockouts or the Stinger (the latter would assume that I don't mind paying almost $5k for the RD system and being a guinea pig for testing what's basically a work in progress). 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.

Hi, I in nj too and commute to NY (gsp from ocean county) after driving a year and not gotten any K and X band from Leo's I turned them off, if you have had any K or X band please let me know. I believe those bands are rarely rarely used, (RD band use in other forums are old data) I see new police cars all over they don"t use the old cars with old systems. If you have been hit from a leo with K or X please let me know.
Thanks

Are you kidding? K band is all over NJ and you will still also see X Band.

I was saying from experience that I have not seen K or X band comming from a leo, I did get plenty K and X bands alerts but never from a leo (only once in a local area in hudson valley NY I was alerted K band and then I saw a leo in a gas station which still does not confirm it was from the leo since there was an auto door near him). It may just be my area and route I travel which is mostly big highways like the GSP (route 9 sometimes), ny 440, I 278 in NY, FDR, west side highway, LIE (sometimes), these are patrolled by highway patrol with newer cars, maybe there are some small townships in NJ still using old cruisers with K and X band. where and how long ago have you seen K and X band coming from A leo?

Several times a week. You cant not turn off K band in NJ. You will get nailed. I am in Jackson and I see a real X Band hit at least 1-2 times a month still on 195/295 but see plenty of K band on the GSP and Turnpike. You need to turn it back on before you get a not so pleasant surprise.
