So I’m wondering those with a lab radar what position do you find best to get consistent readings with a supp on? It doesn’t seem as bad when I’ve used a dpt in the past from memory?

Never had an issue with mine other than alignment every now and then. I have the mic but mine works with suppressed centerfires without it. I have a 22 that is super quiet and that triggers with the mic.
Might have an issue with your mic or the jack point?
Is it triggering on each shot but giving error message?
I was using mine this morning and noticed if I shifted it while armed it triggerd and gave error message.

I had an issue with the last mic sent it back and got a new tested one. Didn’t have any error messages at all this time just wouldn’t pick up anything suppressed. I might have a talk to Fraser and send the whole thing to him for a look see

Do you shoot with unit beside or forward of the muzzle? I can send you my mic to see if it is the mic if you want?

Normally beside and just behind. Tried it everywhere this morning. Thanks for the offer mate but it’ll be right. The mic was working fine with a dpt supp last time. I’ve just found it really fussy the th A-tec. I might just put a few rounds past it with the supp off next time first.

Give it a try in doppler detection mode.

I did think about that this morning. Will give it a go next time. Thanks.

This from the manual -
Doppler : Uses the Signal returned from the projectile to
Trigger the unit: (Use of this mode should be considered
with large projectiles travelling at slow speed only). Do not
use this mode for Firearms, it will affect the precision of the
measurements.

So although it may function and give velocity it may not be accurate. Although I have heard of users just running in doppler all the time and being happy with the results.
