I realize Tom/BRD will not be available for the next few days, but I am posting the following in order to see if anyone can shed some light and/or explanations regarding the anomalies I encountered after upgrading the two ALP systems on my cars this past weekend.

I am not attributing either of the anomalies to the recent firmware upgrades. It is just that I observed them after performing the firmware upgrades and testing the two ALP systems with an AL Pocket Laser Tester. I used the ALP Pocket Laser Tester to verify continuity of each of the five sensors connected, to each of the two ALP systems, when receiving each of the nine pre-programmed LIDAR frequencies. I also check to verify that the correct audio and visual (LED) alerts are correctly provided by each of the two ALP systems, depending upon which Configuration (A/B/C) I have selected.

ANOMALY 1. When pre-programmed frequency 4 (TraffiPatrol XR) is selected, and transmitted toward each of the 10 total sensors on the two ALP systems, there is no alert from either of the ALP systems.

My question regarding this anomaly: Is TraffiPatrol XR used in the USA? If "Yes", it appears that my ALP Pocket Laser Tester may not be emitting/transmitting the correct TraffiPatrol XR LIDAR signal. If the ALP Pocket Laser Tester is emitting/transmitting the correct TraffiPatrol XR signal, the ALP systems are not alerting to the TraffiPatrol XR signals.

ANOMALY 2. When pre-programmed frequency 9 (DragonEye Compact) is selected, and transmitted toward each of the 10 total sensors on the two systems, which are in the Pro Mode selection, there is a difference in the alert provided by the ALP systems, depending upon which sensor is being tested.

For example, transmitting toward the Driver's Side Front Sensor, or the Passenger Side Front Sensor, or the Driver's Side Rear Sensor, the system alert is: Whoop, Whoop, DragonEye Ahead/Behind, then the buzzer-like sound for the duration of the test. This appears to be the normal programmed alert.

However, when pre-programmed frequency 9 (DragonEye Compact) is selected, and transmitted toward the Front Center Sensor, or the Passenger Side Rear Sensor, on either car, the system alert is Whoop, Whoop, DragonEye Ahead/Behind, BUT there is NO buzzer-like sound, there is an extremely fast Whoo, Whoo, Whoo, Whoo, for the duration of the test. The Whoo Whoo emitted by each ALP system after the type LIDAR gun signal received is announced, is not the full Whoop Whoop, it is truncated and repeats extremely fast.

When I tested my first car and the anomaly of not receiving the buzzer-like sound when the Front Center Sensor and the Passenger's Side Rear Sensor took place, I thought that maybe there was something going wrong with those two sensors. But, after testing my second car and obtaining the same results as my first car, it has me very curious and interested as to why the difference in alerts is taking place with the Front Center Sensors, and the Driver's Side Rear Sensors.

I performed the above tests numerous times, on two separate days, with the exact same results.

Can anyone provide a reason for the difference in the alerts emitted by the systems when the Front Center Sensors or the Driver's Side Rear Sensors are tested versus the alerts emitted when the other six sensors are tested using the ALP Pocket Laser Tester pre-programmed frequency 9 (DragonEye Compact) ???

FYI: During private testing sessions with RedRocket, using a modified testing procedure, both cars were JTG/JFG.

If no one can provide an answer, I will call Tom/BRD's attention to this post when he returns.

Thanks in advance !
