    Default JTK in Banned States / Provinces

    Just trying to get an idea of how long everyone will JTK when jamming a LEO in a banned province or state. I usually don't ever go past 3 secs.

    Personally, (yes, I know they're LEGAL where I reside) I would slow down as quickly as possible without making it obvious, then shut off the jammer. 4-5 seconds max, depending on how fast you're going.

    The shorter the better

    Even when going psl it is wise to kill ...why let them learn about
    O divine art of subtlety and secrecy!
    Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible;
    and hence hold the enemy's fate in our hands.

    Always the minimum time needed to discreetly get down to a legal speed and kill the jammer.

    I haven't had an actual encounter with my LI yet but I expect with my JTK-1 autokill device and my average over-PSL speed that I can JTK in 3-4 seconds tops. Not enough to raise an eyebrow.

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    I think that one problem is that so many people try to get all sneaky about where they mount their kill switch. Consequently, extra seconds are taken to locate it and flip it when hit.

    I travel in banned areas all the time. I just slow, and kill when I get within 5 of the PSL. Never had a problem or a second look.
