[FURIOUS] ALP is only jamming when signal is detected

[radargeek]

I completely understand the concern of jtg and possible consequences, but if a ticket is ever received because lid timed out, the jammer has not done it's primary job, actually it's only job.

If you can't drop your speed in 4 seconds after an alert (ok, give it a couple more if on a fast motorcycle), you have bigger problems than needing unlimited jamming. 9 seconds is way too long, that's as bad as a JTG, and many times you'll have passed the cop before then anyway.

The 60 second timer shouldn't be an issue either (though IMHO I think it should be adjustable, I prefer 30 seconds), since once you've slowed and JTKed you'll presumably wait until you're out of the danger zone before speeding up again, with or without jammers. It's great to have all this built into the ALP already, so it just happens (well, ideally you'd hit the button to kill). With other jammers you have to shut them off completely or (in the case of the HP-905) switch to receive mode and then remember to switch it back on after you've passed the threat. With the ALP, you slow, hit one button, drive past and in 60 seconds you're protected again.

Unlimited mode is intended for testing, not for use in the wild. If you do use it, you have to make sure you JTK *every* time. Even if you set a LID time of say 4 seconds, it's still best to JTK manually since in most encounters you should be able to slow & kill in under 3 seconds.

I even developed a device that adds a similar auto-kill feature to my LI. I can JTK with a button push like with the ALP, and I even have it wired to the brake so it can kill the LI automatically after releasing the brakes during a jam. And it also turns the LI back on after 30 seconds (or whatever time I set it to). If/when I upgrade to ALP I won't need this device anymore.
