only the signal strength of the two highest priority threats are displayed. Laser is the
highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between
the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are being detected.
Expert FR
Expert FR meter mode (FR = Front and Rear signal strengths) simultaneously tracks up to
four radar alerts displaying each alert’s band along with a bar graph of their front and
rear signal strengths. When using this meter mode the rear signal strength bar graph is
always the opposite color of the selected display color. In the above image, a Ka band,
two K bands, and an X band signal are being detected. The X band alert is grey to show
that it is a locked out false alert. For more information about locking out false alerts see
the GPS Filtering/TrueLock section. Expert FR meter mode can help you spot a change in
your normal driving environment (e.g., a traffic radar unit being operated in an area
where there are normally other signals present).
