    Any way to determine last gun I was tagged with?

    Would like to know what gun I got tagged with today. No options other than the basic ALP installed.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    I can't get past step 3. Is this still the valid instructions? When I press NEXT 7 times then press ENTER, the LED does not turn white. Stays yellow. (When I hit Next, the LED turns white but I can't complete the steps to make the ALP create the file. Anyone record a How to [/B]Download Statistics Video for Dummies yet[/B]?.)

    To Get the Stats:

    1.Connect USB flash drive to the USB port in AL Control Box, or in USB extension cable,
    2.Enter Yellow Menu by long press of MENU button,
    3.Press NEXT 7 times then press ENTER (you will enter Service Code sub-menu and LED will turn white),
    4.Now Press NEXT 2 times then press ENTER and wait for sound sequence to finish,
    5.Again Press NEXT 2 times then press ENTER and wait for sound sequence to finish,
    6.Once more press NEXT 2 times then press ENTER.
    7.AL system will store your present settings and use statistics to USB flash drive by creating a file named Setup.alp. If file storing was successful the system will alert you with a short blue LED light. The AL system will exit yellow menu after a few seconds of being inactive.
    8.Connect this USB flash drive to your computer.
    9.Click Browse and find the Setup.alp file on your USB memory drive and press Upload.

    NEXT = Menu, ENTER = Power. Make sure that you wait for it to stop beeping before you press the next sequence of buttons.

    X2 Maybe you are not waiting for the confirmations to stop. Never had a unit that stats did not work.

    Thanks for helping out guys. Giving up for the night before I tear something up. No telling what settings I may have changed trying to get this to work.

    Maybe the process should be either simplified, or just automatic: plug in a USB drive and the ALP automatically copies a statistics file to it, anytime you plug one in.

    Seems like an awful lot of button presses.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    Making it completely automatic is annoying. People will be complaining that they plugged a USB drive into their ALP and the ALP deleted their old stats file. The instructions, though, need to be clear that you need to wait for the ALP to stop beeping. The problem is you hit NEXT a bunch of times, then hit ENTER, and the ALP first pauses for 1-2 seconds, then emits more beeps, then stops again. During that initial pause, it's easy to go ahead and start hitting NEXT again (this is what happened to me the first time I tried to pull a stats file). To some people, a 1-2 second pause means that the sound sequence is finished. If they just programmed the ALP to keep beeping throughout that time, it would solve the problem. Most people won't push more buttons on a device that's still actively beeping.

    The system is complicated at first time , till one practices the sequence many times.

    The good point about this sinuous way is you get a real good protection if cops
    try to search your system to incriminate\find proof against you.

    I know it is a mostly improbable scenario ...but better be safe than sorry.

    I use 4 usb keys with color coding for each function.
