To use the ExpertMeter instead of the standard bar graph meter, you must select it (MeterEXP) in
Preferences.
ExpertMeter simultaneously tracks up to eight radar signals: two Ka-band, two K-band, and four X-band
signals. The ExpertMeter is actually a miniature spectrum analyzer. It shows what band each signal is, its
relative frequency within the band, and its signal strength. ExpertMeter 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).
KA|| K|| X||||
Above is the ExpertMeter display if SmartRadar was detecting two strong Ka-band, two strong K-band,
and four strong X-band signals.
As you can see, there are vertical lines after each band designator. Each line shows a signal being
detected. The height of each line shows the relative signal strength. On very weak signals, there will not
be a vertical line at all. The position of the line shows the relative frequency of the signal within the
band.
The band designators (X, K, Ka) will stay on the display for a few seconds after the signal has passed. This
allows you to see what the unit detected, even on very brief signals. However, the vertical lines
representing individual signals constantly change (several times a second) to give you a continuous view
of the signal strength of all radar signals present.
Note: If you use ExpertMeter, the brief signal shown in the power-on sequence when you turn on your
SmartRadar device will also be in ExpertMeter: an "X" with a single vertical line.
SpecDisplay
The SpecDisplay option is also designed for the advanced detector user. In this mode, it will display the
actual numeric radar frequency being received. To use SpecDisplay instead of the standard bar graph
meter, you must select it (MeterSPC) in Preferences.
K 24.150
Display shows a K-band signal at 24.150 GhZ.
Ka 34.700
Display shows a Ka-band signal at 34.700 GhZ.
X 10.525
Display shows an X-band signal at 10.525 GhZ.
Note: Even long-time detector users will require a significant amount of time to get familiar with this
new level of information.
SHIFTER ZR4 Laser-Shifting System (optional, sold separately)
Our optional SHIFTER ZR4 laser-shifting system is the most advanced defense against targeting laser
guns. It includes three (two front, one rear) highly sensitive laser transceivers that detect laser signals
and transmit back a pulsed signal to "shift" or confuse the targeting laser gun.
