3.4 Strongest Signal Mode

All radars track the strongest signal, an essential function of tracking
history The radar defaults to the strongest signal-tracking mode and
will stay in this mode until you press the FAST button In Strongest
Signal tracking mode, the radar displays the speed of the vehicle with
the strongest return signal, which is often the closest car This speed
appears in the left window

3.5 Faster Mode

The advanced signal processing algorithms in the Genesis-VPD
simultaneously track multiple vehicles In Faster mode, the Genesis-
VPD takes the strongest return signal and uses it as a reference
level It then looks at the return signal levels from all other vehicles
going faster than the strongest vehicle and compares them to that
reference level It will display the speed of the vehicle that is moving
faster than the strongest signal and is the next strongest target In
multiple target situations, the next strongest target going faster than
the strongest is often closest to the strongest vehicle The FAST icon is
displayed when in faster mode
The vehicle going 123 km/h is the next strongest
target going faster than the strongest
There are two diferent Faster target modes: Faster-Toggle mode and
Faster-Hold mode
