Likely different technology, but also perhaps different guidelines for tuning the sensors.
IMHO The people that make coments that you can't adjust these things are: 1] never tried to adjust one to actully see if it can work or not and 2] are under the mistaken belief that they work differently then what they do. Which is to say the adjustment is more like a squelch on a radio, it should be set just high enough to remove backgrond noise and not so high only those broadcasting right next to you come through.
