LabRadar Chrono - Multiple LabRadar users on the firing line at once?

[mac86951]

Aloha Len,

After reading the email it states its not really the sound that we hear that activates the unit, but rather the sound/pressure that hits the side of the unit. This may have been asked but I'm thinking a muzzlebrake may be an issue with this. Especially one with only side ports like a QD brake and similar, Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I had already asked this question myself and their answer was as follows:

only on the BIG bore, 338, 50 BMG,

Here is what we have been telling people.

It will work with your muzzle brake on it, but if it has a very heavy muzzle blast such as a 338, 50 BMG, you must protect the unit from the blast. In that case we suggest a barrier of some type. If you are laying prone, use some sand bags. if you are shooting off a bench place the radar underneath the bench. You can experiment also by placing the muzzle farther to either side (up to 18"). Moving the muzzle forward of the unit or slightly behind may also help. The main thing is to protect the unit from being rocked by the blast.

Just to combine a couple of questions then; when the guy next to me is shooting with a brake? Also interested in silencer/handgun performance. I'll look forward to range results.

Will it work downrange, say out to 1000 yds.?

Have any units actually been sold to consumers?

LOL really? If there were some of these in consumers hands there be talk about them somewhere on various forums wouldn't you think?

Only ones I know of that were released were demo units. Other than that it's been a wait game just like last year.

Maybe the thread starter will chime in with something. I applied for a dealership myself but never heard back from them on becoming a dealer.

I was just making sure I didn't miss anything

Seems like these will never come available. Back when first news of this came out I registered on their website with my email. Said for notifications and updates/first chance to order. Haven't received a single email

I agree my guess is they wanted to take pre orders to see if there was enough interest to produce them. If there pre orders didn't hit a certain number then my guess is they will kill the project. I'm sure they have sell so many to offset R&D and production costs to make a profit.

True, but I saw Midway has them "coming soon". I'm guessing they hit an FCC reg issue, and/or an economy of scale expecting mass volumes as you say. Problem is if the first 1000 units cost $1000 each until the bugs and manf. Can be vetted, who would buy one?

Their marketing/customer service is lacking badly. Just leave everyone in the dark about what is going on/updates

I pre-ordered one, in March. I was not one of the lucky few that received their units last month. It seems like only certain people received theirs.

I've been told July now - if they fail to produce, I'll take my money back, wish them well, and that'll be the end of it. I think JamesTN is on the money regarding their pre-ordering system. My guess is the units they shipped, were shipped depending on how much interest the end user could generate from reviewing.
