Default NetRadar K Band filtering issues

I know some of you are having good experience with the ALP NetRadar so I want some advice.

This is an example clip of my problem.

Setup:
Front and rear netradar antennae
I have filtered out the falses from door openers on this stretch of road on previous drives
I am running it in City Red with K Filter on (i.e. a lot of filtering and low sensitivity)

Issue:
I am getting this long K Band false. It's not obvious whats generating it. The City Red and K Filter should be removing any falses.

Is the issue my settings or is the NetRadar false filtering not very good?

The only thing that could generate a signal that strong for that sustained time period would be a BSD signal from another car(Acura/Volvo/Etc). Problem is, I didn't see anything close enough to the front of the car to cause that. Is it only happening on the Front Radar or Rear as well?

That's precisely my issue with it.

If you look at the cars I passed none of them are cars which should trigger the NetRadar with the K Filter on. Also I was told that City Red mode should also exclude most BSD.

I do sometimes get rear alerts but on this clip it was all front radar. I thought it might be the camry but it stopped alerting the moment I turned right.

That's could be it.

But the NetRadar is supposed to be able to filter out the Mazda. Or at least I thought it could. They claim it can filter everything except GM SUVs. So either the product isn't delivering or something is wrong

I'm banned from that site for frequent vocal complaints about my NetRadar and allegedly leaking info about the fact ALP-USA gave me a 30% discount on my NetRadar (possibly matching their wholesale price). They are heavily in ALPs pocket over there so you can get slammed for anything that could be construed as a complaint about the product.

It's getting tough to get clear and unbiased evaluations these days.
