[FURIOUS] ALP is only jamming when signal is detected

That may not sound like an illogical thing, but I would expect that once a threat is detected, that it would send out that jamming signal for 4 seconds (or as configured).

I would NOT expect it to stop and start as I release and pull the trigger of my prolaser.

Or, to put it another way, I would not expect "Pro Mode" to also apply to the laser.

"By enabling Pro Mode, when laser interference is detected LED will blink only while you are being targeted."

It's just common sense. Just because you've lost direct sight of the IR signal, doesn't mean it's still not crawling around the front of your car.

Latest firmware (as of 2 days ago) Australian Edition. setup.alp attached, please LMK if you need anything else. If this is SOP, I'll go back to using my LE-10. That gave me 5 seconds, but at least it was a solid 5 seconds.

That's not the way ALP works.
Its a smart jammer and only jams when required to the set seconds.
Its better that way :)

Also you would be surprised how much lidar spreads at a distance, not to mention the ALP kick ass receivers

you in Australia?

The ALP is a smart jammer not a brute force jammer. It works much differently than the LE10. The ALP is much more sensitive than the LE10. If the alp doesn't detect a LIDAR signal, it isn't there. Now if you are shooting your own car from less than 100 feet away it is possible to shoot your car without the alp picking up the signal, but LE will shoot you at much greater distances, and the size of the beam of the LIDAR gun will be much larger and easier to detect. The ALP gives you much more protection than the LE10 ever did.

As others have already said these are SMART jammers and will only Jam when needed. If nothing is coming at you then there is no need to send something back. I would put the ALP up against your LE-10 any day.

What ^^^ they said, also you could turn pro mode off and the alp will then jam for time duration set or until you jtk.

I thought Pro Mode was only for Radar.
So is it best to turn it off for best peace of mind detection?

Turning off pro mode just makes the jammer continue ALERTING for a few seconds after the shooting ends. It doesn't cause jamming pulses to be sent when none are being received from the gun.

Smart jammers have to synchronize their jamming pulses to the gun's pulses in order to jam properly. As a result, it has to receive pulses in order to respond to them. Plus it extends the life of the laser diode, and reduces the chances of throwing a jam code on the gun.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up. I'd thought it continued on in the lid time frame except for unlimited.

'' and reduces the chances of throwing a jam code on the gun. ''

which is a quite important feature , hard to appreciate since we have no feed back ,
unless the cop runs after you even after a quick Jtk ...then the fun ends there.

Not to mention if the lidar gun trigger is pulsed and the jammer didn't start and restart it would result in an instant punch through because the timing would be off.
