Rob, I better see you tomorrow! I need a man hug!
PM will go out around 10 PM tonight.
I have a few updates from today. I spoke to Ivan on the phone and we went through several checks to ensure everything was setup correctly. We followed the procedure exactly as described in the document I posted here on RALF. Ivan had asked us to do a test drive down the road to ensure everything was responding without error. We performed the test first with the heads level during the alignment test the LI's were seeing cross talk. We then angled the heads up about 3 degrees. We ran the test again. This time no issues were reported on the road. (Video to follow tomorrow when I get home - in airport now). We then proceeded to test the first DragonEye Compact. We encountered little success. When then tried the other DragonEye Compact and it was met with even worse results. At this point, we decided to go back and re-test some of the other big issues we had with the other guns during the test on the previous day as it was apparent that 8.18 was still in need of work.
The Truspeed SX. All I can say is WOW this gun was a surprise. We had noticed several high PTs on the other jammers yesterday, but it wasn't cause for alarm until the ALP had an IPT against it. When the ALP was IPT'd we stopped testing. (This was a mistake as we later discovered). Had we tested further we would have discovered that the next run may have been fine as it was when we tested against the ALP the following day. We did run the Truspeed S against the ALP on the day of the test and it was JTG so the question was why did the LI and others have better performance when they were all alerting to Truspeed S? It became clear when I scoped both devices. There was a discrete difference in them which it appears after further testing EVERYONE missed (this will be clear in the user testing). I won't discuss here obviously because it's public. But it will probably become clear what is happening when the official results are posted on the RALETC site. LTI has started down the path of no return so expect more from them in future releases.
All in all we had 2 excellent days of testing with very enlightening results. All of the jammers performed had their own specific guns they need to address with future updates. As far as LI, RALETC will continue to work with them on these updates in hopes we can finally get these issues resolved for the LI fans. Thanks to all those who participated in the event and I'm looking forward to the next one. We will have results posted on RALETC in the coming days. We have to review the results from the LIVE blog and the recorded results on paper. Keep an eye out for those soon....
I'm uploading dash cam footage of what seemed like the vpr of the tsx at work. My v1 alerted, paused, alerted, paused, alerted in a somewhat uniform rhythm. I'll let you guys decide if it means anything.
Interesting. Bear in mind the V1 has a max pulse rate it alerts to that's lower than the TSS's pulse rate, so a start-stop pattern, or a pattern where it skips every other pulse or something could cause the V1 to alert in a fashion such as this.
The V1 is inconsistent at alerting to the TSS for the same reason.

I knew something was up right away on this run, the next run against the same gun I had a constant v1 alert, no breaks.
Lol just realized you can hear my confusion at the end, totally puzzled.
LTI says it's the same as the TSs , but it also does crash mapping? I am wondering if there's much more to it than that: " The TruSpeed Sx not only sports the same features as the TruSpeed S, it has the addition of a built-in tilt sensor, giving this laser the ability to measure both horizontal and vertical distance for crash scene mapping."
