    Default True Lock I AM CONFUSED

    Ok for the last few days I am having to lock out the same false spots. Is this because of "drifting"? I am not having to lock out EVERY one that I have already locked out but about 50% of them. It is becoming annoying
    RIP Duncan my BELOVED black lab son 8/7/99-3/23/11. I will miss you DEARLY.

    same thing here. I've had to do it a few times as well.

    I believe it is due to drifting. When I drove by a known false (while in Spec mode) I would note which freq that location had. Before doing any lockouts I drove by that location every day for a week and noticed two to three different frequencies (differences of 2 to 3 thousandths). I had to lock out each signal when it came back up. So every difference is picked up by the 9500i, IMO.

    I agree. I was tired of hitting mute 70 times a week as I went to and from work.

    The 9500i seems like the answer. Unless GOL comes back with really horrendous results I plan on keeping it. My take is there is a bit of a learning curve with this unit since it is like no other. But, if the range is not there than I will go back to the V1 or an X50 again.

    Even if the range is slightly worse than x50/v1, I'd still take this unit over those two, because constantly having to lunge at the mute button drives me nuts.

    Oh, I agree. I'll take slightly worse, but not a lot worse.

    Well that does seem to support the theory that "Radardetectors1" has a faulty unit that blocks out the whole band...
