It is still good for city use (quiet) but I think I am going to stick with my old Bel RX65 for Highway use. I may try a 9500i Blue in the future and see if it is any better.
you are right and i hate it as well. perhaps this is the new way of looking at low-powered fast moving closing ka band radar but i sometimes feel like the 9500i is simply slow to alert of the threat and is just playing catch-up.
give me the long range and put me back into the 1-1-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-4-4-5-6-7-8-8-9-10-10-10-10-10 like my v1 and i'm happy again. with gps lockout, i'll trade for the better sensitivity.
p.s. sometimes i wonder how true this is. i have approached stationary k-band false alerts and it does the same thing.
