[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1392072, member: 4191"] Turns out there are a lot of LabRadar owners that don't know how to start a new series, shy of powering down and back up again. So here's how. Press and hold the "arm" button for 2-3 seconds. Have had my LabRadar out 2 more times. A cluster of frustration the first time out due to operator error. Was trying to capture some 357Mag revolver reload velocities. So I brought along my .22 pistol so I could verify the LabRadar was functioning before firing the 357Mag. Fired 7 rounds with the .22LR. No readings. Tried different positions. Nothing. Tried the 357Mag, thinking the louder report might trigger and record. Nope. Gave up and headed home to study the instruction manual further. Head back out the next day after reviewing the instruction manual. Unit records some reduced loads from my .223 AR. Try the revolver and nothing. Well, I finally remember there's a different setting for pistols (slower bullets). Switch to that setting and then it does record the 357Mag bullet velocities. Turns out you have to be as smart or smarter than the instruction manual. Not fair!:mad: A lot of frustration due to operator error. Beyond that fiasco, I also had more difficulty triggering the unit and capturing shot velocities compared to my first successful use. First use I caught bullet velocity all the way out to 75yds. Even the smaller diameter .22WMR and .223 AR bullets. This time the radar had more trouble tracking out to 75yds. But all in all, it worked pretty well. Not too much to complain about. I will again comment that there are some operational nuances that will likely be reduced with addition experience. Battery power seems solved with the use if the USB power supply.;) [/QUOTE]
