    Default Activate pop mode on x50

    I recently purchased an 8500 x50 and i'm still confused on how to activate pop mode. If anyone can help a newbie out that would be great.

    Thx,

    Hold down both buttons on top until "PROGRAM" appears in the display. Then push the left button repeatedly until the display reads BandsDFT (or BandsMOD). Press the right button until POP OFF reads in the display. Press the Mute button (on the front of the unit). It should change to POP ON. Wait 10 seconds for "COMPLETE" to appear.

    Repeat these steps to turn POP off.

    It's nine clicks of the left button BTW. I can turn K on and off as needed without even taking my eyes off the road

    Just an FYI if you didnt know..

    Enabling POP will increase your chances in receiving more false alerts !

    I kinda like the occasional false, except when its laser then I usualy **** myself no matter what.

    Anytime my x50 goes off it seems to make me more aware of my surroundings cause I'm always looking around, so I think soem falses are good

    Default agree

    I agree xxbillay with the falses thing to a certain degree. I know when my 795 falses on laser, it lets me know it is still working.
