[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1401107, member: 4191"] I received additional information and advice on the best setup and use of the LabRadar from LabRadar contact/rep. One of my concerns was is my unit functioning properly. With this information from the company rep, I believe mine is fine. I'll just need to be more careful on placement of the muzzles with the lower decibel levels from the 22LR and other low muzzle report firearms. Here's what I asked, followed by the company response, FYI and use: Question #1) Could you tell me if the distance from muzzle setting (6", 12", 18") has any affect on the triggering of the radar when the firearm is discharged? Or is this setting only provided to improve the accuracy of the recorded bullet velocity - based on the distance the unit is positioned from the muzzle? [B]It uses this setting to let it know what angle you are entering the radar beam at and how long it takes the sound to travel from your muzzle to the LabRadar, among other things, but as long as you have it inputted correctly you will get accurate results. If you are closer it will trigger more easily but with larger muzzle blast being so close that it is causing the radar to shake is a bad thing. With your 22LR and other similar bullets you will want to be close since there is barely any muzzle blast.[/B] Question #2) With the trigger level settings, 1 is the most sensitive setting, correct? Is that the best setting to improve the odds of triggering when shooting 22LR, 22WMR, reduced MV loads from my .223, and pistols/revolvers? [B]Trigger Level 1 is the most sensitive. For the calibers you have listed above have it on trigger level one with a 6” projectile offset. If you expect velocity below 1600fps put it in handgun velocity range, if it is above choose rifle.
