    Fire , the thing is this system is not like a refrigirator\tv\radio , there is a brain in it (firmware) and those people
    need bread on their table so they keep a decent living .

    In fact the prices went down compare to the Al g-8 which was $ 900 for a dual a few years ago + shipping
    cost of $ 150 directly from Croatia.

    Name me a product that will make you save $ and trouble ...well unless you abide by psl all the time .

    You could start a rent-a-jam , you install the Alp and collect based on the saves : Pay-Per-Save ...
    you will become rich in no time

    Tom, save your breath and don't engage the troll. You have a great product and being manufactured overseas puts you at a disadvantage to the dollar from the world market at the start.
    Introductory prices to gain market share make sense but they cannot last forever or the vendor will not last long.
    The cost of everything goes up and this is no different.
    It costs money to afford bad habits and this is a great bad habit to afford. If you can't run with the big dogs then stay on the porch as they say, fire.

    Thank you Tom.

    The thing is if you can't afford CMs, you can't afford a ticket. So, drive the speed limit until you can afford it.

    Make a quality product with great CS and sell it at a profit is the name of the game. There will always be people that won't buy it. Those people will never be your customer and there's no need to pander to them.

    The problem with these counter measures is life expectancy. They are becoming obsolete faster & faster. Anyone that paid $900 for Blinder or LI system a year ago is S.O.L

    They also bought a product that had already been out for several years.

    well that sucks but I understand why. I was going to wait till over the winter or next spring to upgrade so it looks like I will need to save up a bit more.

    Personally, I want to see products evolve and progress. Could you imagine still having a product that still uses a serial port...... Oh wait.

    Seems to be the nature of the beast. Lidar guns are evolving and so jammers need to as well.

    Fortunately if you run a set of jammers for a while, they will pay for themselves. Plus you get the peace of mind that you can't put a price on.

    In an ideal world, you'd buy a set of jammers once and they'll be upgraded forever for free so you always have current protection and cool features being added.

    It is a PITA to switch systems, the financial costs, having to rewire everything, redo control switches, learn new menus and buttons, have different sized heads which would suck for people who've cut their grills, and so on. Ideally we could use the same system forever.

    I'm not that familiar with Antilaser, but even they have released new systems over time too.

    Who knows what's coming down the line in terms of necessary updates, but I'm sure we've all got our fingers crossed hoping that the ALP's will stay up to date as long as humanly possible so we don't have to keep switching systems.
