In those 9 seconds you're basically on top of the LEO (okay, not really, because you've slowed down a bit). But it's super suspicious AND for any shots 800' away and less it's likely a JTG anyway. Unfortunately, 9 seconds JTK time makes it a real pain to test your jammers if you're cruising along at 25-30 mph on a 1000' long course. I don't see what removing the unlimited LID time would do as it won't prevent people who aren't knowledgeable from JTG in the vast majority of cases, except maybe in really long, 1500-2000' shots, and even then, it won't do anything to remove the suspicion associated with not being able to get a reading for a full 9 seconds.

    How about including either a booklet, or a URL, in red, on the invoice for every ALP system that educates people on proper usage? Limiting the LID time is never a substitute for proper education.
    Its not about them not being educated... There are a select few that think its fun to do it and no education is going to change these peoples attitudes towards it.
