histler has two new exciting features that will assist
the driving enthusiast to further identify threats from
l
aser and Ka band radar guns.
Ka RSID (Ka Radar Signal IDentifier)
Identify the difference between the likelihood of a Ka
threat vs. the likelihood of a Ka false from another
s
ource (possible radar detector). The Ka RSID
f
eature will educate you to the common Ka speed
radar guns by displaying the nominal police radar
f
r
equencies of 33.8GHz / 34.0GHz / 34.3GHz /
3
4.7GHz / 35.5GHz. The Ka alerts that do not fall into
the common Ka speed radar windows will be re
por
ted
o
nly as Ka.
Note: T
his product is not a frequency counter. The
unit will categorize the received Ka signal and select
t
he appropriate information. Treat every Ka alert with
c
aution.
LSID (Laser Signal IDentifier)
Identify the Laser gun’s pulse rate or PPS (Pulses Per
Second) that is transmitted by the speed laser gun.
LSID may also be used to identify other forms of laser
sources such as LACC (Laser Assisted Cr
uise Contr
ol)
systems found in some high end vehicles.
If the Laser PPS information displayed is due to
another source such as local airports or LACC, LSID
allows you to Lock Out this rate fr
om giving you the
continuous audio alert during this and any new
encounter of the same rate. To Lock Out a PPS, pr
ess
the Quiet button during the Laser alert. This will
place an
* on the screen beside the PPS rate and
Lock Out this signature ID. Any new encounter with
the same Laser Signatur
e ID will provide the display
information and two quick beeps.
Note: Common Laser PPS rates used in the USA are
100 / 125 / 130 / 200 / 238 / 380Hz. Other Laser PPS
rates used outside the USA include 600Hz.
Caution: Do not lock out a PPS rate if it is close to
known speed laser guns.
