Does the 9500i have a tutorial mode like the Bel RX65?

Just curious, does it have it? I've tried playing around with it but it seems like it doesn't have it?

The RX-65 has a tutorial mode? I wasn't aware of that and it isn't mentioned in its manual. I briefly owned a RX-65 but sold it towards getting my 9500i. I have seen display model RX-65s (and even have one now) which were specially programmed to display a continuously cycling tutorial about the RX-65's features and modes of operation. Internally the display model merely consisted of the main circuit board which was populated only with the display, the main programmable CPU and just the additional electronics needed by the CPU. There was no radar horn, no local oscillator board, or the remainder of the electronics.

But to fully answer your question, the 9500i does not have a tutorial mode -- or at least I haven't found out how to access any built-in tutorial mode. A tutorial mode is not mentioned in the 9500i's manual either.

If you hold down the volume and the brightness button while powering on the rx65 or the vector 995, you'll get the tutorial mode. I haven't figured out how to do so with the 9500i

Neat! I didn't know that.

I think the question should be "what do you mean by tutorial" the RX-65 actually gives you a lecture on how radar works and how the RX-65 different settings work?
Or is it just showing you what features can be changed?

[rose1]

I guess it's the lecture mode where it alerts to all the bands including laser, then it goes to the SWS voices and just keeps repeating itself.

if thats the case the 9500I does have it, its just not verbal. when first turned on it will display/alert alert to all the bands including laser, it will also tell you what default features are on or off.

[rose1]

no, thats not it. Thats just the power on sequence. I'm going to record the vector 995 doing it and post it on youtube

put it on H mode, turn off SWS and POP and you are set to go. When it beeps you slow down
