ThreatDisplay
Beltronics’s exclusive ThreatDisplay option
is an advanced display for experienced
detector users. Please use the RX45 for a
few weeks to get fully familiar with its
other features before using ThreatDisplay.
To use the ThreatDisplay instead of the
standard bar graph signal strength meter,
you must select Meter THT in the RX45’s
Preferences (see pages 8-12).
ThreatDisplay simultaneously tracks
multiple radar signals. It shows you detailed
information on multiple radar signals and
their signal strength.
ThreatDisplay can help you spot a
change in your normal driving
environment; for example, a traffic radar
unit being operated in an area where there
are normally other signals present.
A few more examples will help you
better see how the ThreatDisplay works.
K9 X1
Here Threat Display shows a strong
K-band signal, and a weak X-band
signal.
Ka1 X9
Here Threat Display shows a weak
Ka-band signal, and a strong X-band
signal.
ThreatDisplay Details
The band designators (X, K, Ku, 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 numeric values,
representing signal strength, continuously
change (several times a second) to give you
a continuous view of the signal strength of
all radar signals present.
TechDisplay
The RX45’s TechDisplay option is also
designed for the advanced detector user. In
this mode, it will display the actual numeric
radar frequency being received
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 a 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.
The ThreatDisplay is actually a
miniature spectrum analyzer. It shows what
band each signal is, and its signal strength.
Ka9 X2
Above is the ThreatDisplay if the RX45
was detecting a strong Ka-band and a
weak X-band signal.
As you can see, there are numeric
values (1-9) after each band designator.
Each number shows a relative signal
strength for each signal being detected.
