hey guys/girls

i got a Beltronics Vector LR that i received of a mate for free as he said it wasn’t working last time he checked. i found a power connection for it and turned it on, and as my mate said, it comes with a error.. it starts of normal and comes up with the normal start up display but after about 5-10 seconds of being on it comes up with . " ?LO1 CAL" i asked some of my friends and one said it may be a calibration error.

Does anyone know what this error is or what " ?LO1 CAL" stands for. also does anyone know whether this problem is fixable and if so an approx. price.

Thanks any help appreciated niran

I found that powering it on from cold it worked fine, if it was in the sun for too long it would start giving me that error. Lucky for me it was still within it's 3 year warranty and I took it to a supplier and repairer and they actually replaced it (and with a newer model), place was called Neltronics in Subi.

OK.. here's the story...

"LO CAL" (or "MARKERS" or "PLL LCK") is a fault code describing some kind of error has occured during a calibration test. BELTRONICS are keeping their software to themselves to avoid Chinese manufacturers from reverse engineering their products and whacking on the software... smart hey! :)

To repair this issue we would hopefully have a replacement board here in stock... we simply open up your faulty unit... put in the refurbished board... set up the menu and bands and away you go. The faulty board is then shipped to BELTRONICS to be refurbished and reflashed with new software.

The software repair is $95.

In WA cops use:

Multanova (not multinova!!!) which is a Ka band radar signal... low output so hard to detect

Patrol cars which use a K band radar signal... strong power so easy to detect... BUT... remember not every car is equiped and if they are, they might not be turned on

Sgt Plod himself uses a hand held laser signal... very strong, very fast, very accurate, VERY NARROW so damn hard to detect unless its fired right at your detector at which point they probably have you anyway.

That concludes todays lesson kiddies... now you can all go home, except Ossie... come here for a touching!

$95 to repair? What about warranty ;)
i got a Beltronics Vector LR that i received of a mate for free as he said it wasn’t working last time he checked.

Need I say more!!!

Plus the fact that a Vector LR came out around 9-10 years ago with a 1 year warranty.

Pulp, what unit do you have?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
