Can someone please tell me the difference of JTG and JTK? I sort of understand the jam to gun... The ALP would fire, jamming the cop's laser gun all the way to his location. Easy enough... BUT what is a Jam To Kill? And how exactly do I do that? Can I always do this? Thanks in advance, I'm really trying to clear this up..

JTK is simple: As soon as you are hit and the ALP alarms, slow down to the speed limit (or close enough over that you won't get a ticket) and hit either button on the control set, or tap the car icon on the app if using ALP Connect. This will immediately stop jamming, allowing the LEO to get your (hopefully legal) speed. Depending on your "After LID timeout" setting, the ALP will either go into detection-only mode (DLI) until the LEO stops shooting and then to a 60 second parking-only "warm-up" cycle, or directly to the 60 second parking-only warm-up. After 60 seconds, hopefully you're out of harm's way and the ALP goes back into defense mode.
It's best to aim for 2 seconds or less of jamming time, though that takes practice. Newbies will probably have a 3-4 second JTK the first time, depending on how often you get hit.
The idea of course is to not let the LEO realize they were just jammed. The faster the JTK, the less likely they'll be suspicious.

Something that ALP offers is the use of the timer on the ALP (set to say 3 or 4 seconds) so that it will automatically stop jamming if you don't get to it fast enough.
