Source: mylabradar.com (verified 2026-08-11). LabRadar's current site (mylabradar.com) still lists the original unit alongside the LX. Velocity range (65-3,900 fps), ±0.1% accuracy, 6x AA / USB power options, and 5-distance extrapolation confirmed via American Rifleman's original review; operating temperature (-10 to 40 C) and total packaged weight (5 lb 11.2 oz = 91.2 oz, unit plus stand and external power supply) sourced from the same review, so weight_oz reflects the packaged figure rather than bare-unit weight, which was not separately published. The device connects to its companion app via a self-hosted Wi-Fi network, not Bluetooth.
