Almost sounds to me like we need to be able to keep all three receiver sensors and add the TX above or below F2 with the splitter version TX. Will this not work? Please advise.
    Can an expert advise my statement above in bold please. Thanks.

    If you're driving a small or std. automobile, 2 RX & 1 TX will provide exc. protection provided you abide by the proper install specifications !

    Remember before the TX head was available only one head was used for receiving in a conventional 3 head setup. When you replace F2 with a TX, you are now making F1 and F3 RXs. This gives you additional receive capabilities as well as improved TX capabilities.

    Having said that it is important to stick with the specifications provided in order to avoid other technical challenges. I don't want to divulge any additional details in public, but the end result will be PTs at CM and other locations depending on the conditions. Please follow the specifications as the install is slightly different from a conventional install for a very valid reason.

    How was one head being used as a rx when we can trigger F1, F2, and F3 with the remote tester?

    So now your saying when using the new TX head that the F1 and F3 are no longer a tx, just rx?

    What about protection for a large SUV? What setup for it using the new TX?

    Only against Dragoneyes. This has been talked about on the forums.

    That could make some sense. When all 3 heads were the same, there was probably good temporal phase control of the wavefront from the identical laser diodes. The new TX head diodes may have different characteristics for risetime and fall time, and they definitely have wider horizontal and vertical dispersion. In a situation like that, and given that the Tx/Rx heads need to be closer to the TX sensor, it makes sense the TX is the sole blaster and the original heads are just used for listening.

    When a head is listening, it cannot be used for transmission. The light from the transmit diodes would be picked up by the receive diodes as the front lens acts like a light pipe. So they have to be interlaced. If the variable pulse rate guns change frequencies or waveforms during the receiver blanking periods, that could screw things up. By having physically separate Rx and Tx, you can listen all the time.

    How do we protect the front or rear of a large SUV with the new TX head? Is this a future upgrade for these vehicles?

    If you already have a triple sensor system up front you would just replace the center RX with the new TX, (making sure you have the latest firmware) do a reset and configure and you should be good.
