I said I would stop complaining so this is it.
    Pro Mode was always with a buzzer sound which changed depending on the strength of the incoming signal. The buzzer sound changes and you can hear if you are the target or just picking up scatter verse a direct hit. You are just used to using ALP Connect and the Ext. LED with ALP Connect in pro mode still only illuminates when you are targeted.

    If you are the direct target even in Pro-Mode it will give you the name of the gun if they stay on you. The Buzzer only kicks in if they re-pull the trigger or sweep away and come back to you.

    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.

    That too. I'm not really annoyed by it because it's not a change from what I experienced with the standard control set...the one exception being that I cannot hear if I am being targeted or picking up scatter for the first 3.5 seconds, because the announcement is being made instead, and would have to watch the LED. But I'm not sure just how you would do both. Well, I can think of one way: you have a buzzing sound ONLY when you start getting shot, and up until the point where you JTK or you stop being targeted for 3 seconds or so. And THEN you have it announce what you were hit by once the threat is over. But, I think that would just confuse people.

    The problem is how the buzzer sounds or if the system is jamming all the guns?

    I would not mind if it were setup like this. I want to know what I was hit by but first and foremost, I want to know I am being hit and quickly.

    I would suggest only one swoop of alert then gun id .

    Even best , if ever possible , be able to make our own voicepack ...or eventually
    an ultra-short voicepack.
    I was able to have the siren + gun id within 1 second ...
    but this system was unable to hammer all guns

    OK
    I'm a little confused
    Does the Voice Alert not indicate you are being targeted? Or do you need to hear the buzzer?
    Also, when does the auto-off count down start?
    At the beginning of the voice alert or the buzzer?
    Screw this LOL stuff. If they don't find it humorous on their own, then let 'em take it seriously.

    Yes.. You can be the target under any alert. Most users should not be using PRO Mode unless you are an experienced user.

    Pro Mode was originally a diagnostic tool for us and it greatly helps with troubleshooting PT's and we would video tape from the car and gun side and compare details to analyze PT's.

    AL released it to give enthusiats some advanced tools so they could understand with sounds and live LED views how strong a signal is.

    I suggest that unless you are an experienced users that you do not use pro mode. Regardless of the mode any alert from the ALP you need to take very seriously.

    The voice alert/siren indicates you're being targeted. If you're in Pro mode and are still being targeted after the voice alert finishes, then you'll hear the buzz, but hopefully you've JTKed before then.

    The auto-off count down starts at the beginning of the alert. Remember, you'll start hearing noise of some sort (beeps from regular control set or sirens from the hi-fi) as soon as the ALP starts seeing pulses from the gun and has started jamming. So that's when you need to react. When the speaker squawks, it's time to act!
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    IDK guys, Maybe its that im easily satisfied but im happy with it, All that matters to me is that i can A jam all the guns out there and B is that i can hear it....... I have both and that make me a happy camper..
    Oh and what has already been said, If you JTK then you will almost never get past the gun ID, Unless your hit from way out and your doing 100 in like a 30 LoL then you will need more time to slow down. But really if your going that speed you getting tagged for something.
