Section 8--Interference
8.3
NOTE: The Eagle II has special software algorithms that
allow the radar to correct a combined reading. If
the user suspects that the radar is displaying a
combined speed, entering and exiting the Hold
Mode quickly should correct the combined
reading.
4. Intermittent readings caused by pointing the antenna at
the indicating unit (scanning) should not be a concern to
the trained operator. Proper mounting of the antenna on
a dash mount will eliminate this problem. In addition,
these readings would not satisfy all the requirements of
proper tracking history.
5. If the power supply voltage drops below the minimum
operating voltage, the Eagle II will not display any new
speed-readings until the low voltage condition is no
longer exists. "Lo" will be displayed in the TARGET
window.
6. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) exists when there
are strong RF transmitting stations in the immediate area
of the radar unit, such as the patrol vehicle's transmitting
radio, high power radio or television stations. Potential
false target sources of interference will be detected by
the Eagle II and the TARGET window will display "rFi"
until the source of interference is eliminated. Antennas
labeled “DCM” are specially designed to virtually
eliminate external forms of RFI and it is unlikely that
“rFi” will ever be displayed while using these antennas.
