WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
I was about 15-20 MPH over PSL. V1 went off, then a couple seconds later the LI notified me that Ultralyte 20-20 was painting me. Slowed to about 5 over PSL. The CT Statie was off to the side of the road, probably pinging me at about 500 feet. I was in the #1 lane, he was in the hard shoulder. Fairly off axis.. The front heads are still mounted vertically.
CT was swarming with staties in Silver Explorers. Only saw one marked PI.
Were you able to shut the jammers off and allow the LEO to get a reading?
It was way too quick. By the time I saw him, heard the V1 go off, slow down and wait for the LI to let me know it was jamming, I was already past him.Quote:

I was honestly surprised that he picked me up. I was catty-corner behind a pickup in the #2 lane, and a truck had just passed the LEO in the #3. I saw the LEO when the truck passed, and when I started passing the pickup; he quickly acquired me. By then I was already on the brakes and the V1 went off simultaneously. Then the LI a couple seconds afterward notifying me it was jamming.Quote:

Now that I look back, it was probably less than 500 ft. 3 Lanes of traffic ~36 feet across. At an angle, it's probably 51 feet across. The time it took me to see him and for him to paint me, traveling over 65 MPH.. It had to have been 300 feet or so.
Next time you will be more prepared to react to a close range shot. I suggest honking the horn, sticking a one finger salute out the sunroof & tossing your Starbucks coffee out the window at the patrol car. That should draw any attention away from the JTG.:D
Do you have your front heads mounted horizontally behind the grill work? (I think it was your install I was noticing that?)
They were vertical @ the time. I'm in the process of putting them horizontal now.Quote:

Sounds like my first encounter.
Short distance encounters are tough with not JTG, my first encounter lasted 3-4 seconds at about 400 ft and the source was at 35-40 degrees angle.........shooting in between trees.......:rolleyes:
I was like: "geez, where did u get your training at"..........
Honestly, the guy caught me by surprise (which I suppose is a good thing for him)Quote:

Ya, Oh crap mode is normal if you're not used to it.Quote:

Keep your cool and take whatever action is needed.
