[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1642695, member: 104268"] [SIZE=14px][/SIZE] The app can certainly be frustrating, but something to note is that it doesn't need to be connected to collect data. Only for arming and changing strings/settings. I set the armed time to the maximum 300 seconds, which minimizes the "blue light" problem. I arm it, shoot my string, and don't touch the phone again until I need to make a new string. Another quirk that causes connection problems is if the phone goes to sleep while the unit is armed (orange light), then the unit goes unarmed (blue light), then you wake the phone back up. This causes it to stop responding. You can mitigate this by keeping the phone and chrony in the same state. In other words, when you finish a string, immediately disarm the chrony with the phone. That way if the phone goes to sleep, when it wakes up, the chrony is still in the same state as when the phone was awake last. Regarding the blast shaking things out of alignment, I suggest pushing the muzzle even further past the unit. I've had no problems with triggering or tracking, with the muzzle as far as six inches in front of the unit. Sorry it's so frustrating for you. I'm so used to the quirks now, that I don't really think about them much anymore. It sure would be nice if the manufacturers address them, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Perhaps another radar based solution will come along soon, and perhaps the competition will startle LabRadar enough for them to actually address these problems.
