That might be half my problem, the radar patterns I have to setup to get
compliant detection increase the chance of false radar train detection
(in combination with the false pulse detection). Reducing this false
pulse detection has been the biggest help. If I tinker too much with the
radar patterns I can't get compliant detection.

I haven't tried other hardware because I'm working on an existing
hardware platform where I have to use SR5 (mainly for the high Tx power
etc). But makes sense that the SR5 is making this whole process more
difficult...

Thanks for all the help.
