Check for electrical influences.
Place radar in stationary mode,
unsquelch audio and listen for
interferences in audio.
Strong fan interference will

information on the fan
interference filter.
NOTE: Use of the shielded
auxiliary power cable may
eliminate the vehicle's electrical
noise problems.
Remove unit from service if
above tests fail.

targets traveling at or near the
same speed.
Verify the range control is
properly set.
Target vehicle may be out of
range of radar.
Verify there are no obstructions
between the radar and the target.
Moving mode - verify proper
patrol speed is being displayed.
