My 9500ix

[BlinderGuy]

I started using my 9500ix yesterday and I am not sure if it is working properly or not...It is very silent when it comes to falses....The only real encounter I have had was on HWY33 in Lakeland tonight..I was heading north and the Leo was heading south...There was a slight curve and with a few cars in front of me and I only got about 1500 ft alert before I saw the LEO coming at me...It was 35.5 Ka..Does that sound normal..The curve was only about a 10- 20 degree curve I am guessing.

Was your 9500ix in Auto mode? Ka 35.5 is pretty hard to pick up

Well 35.5 is hard to detect and the curve sure doesnt help at all. Do you have ver 1.1 ? i cant say for sure but once i upgraded to 1.1 on my ix the range seemed like it was really bad for ka. I took my ix back to best buy and got a new ix now it seems to be fine. Im running ver 1.0 now (i tihnk) . i wouldnt think the software with the ix would have anything to do with it but you never know. Im staying at 1.0 as it seems to work fine this way. But i have had some really short range with my ix with ka. At frist i thought it might be i/o on. But after couple of weeks it kept doing the same thing. (short range with ka) If you never get long range with your ix with ka you might wanna send it in to escort and have them look at it.

How do I check version?

[Obsidian]

You can't check the version on the 9500ix.

That sucks!!! Even at my Dealer price it isn't worth crap with that kind of detection.

You cant check the version their is know way of doing this unless you just upgrade to version 1.1 then you know you have 1.1 I think i got a ix with 1.0because the sales guy at best buy said the ix i got has be sitting their since the frist of 2009. and ink 1.1 just came out not to long ago. But ever since igot a new ix it has been a little better with ka. Again not 100% sure here but once i did get a new ix it seemed like it had better range. I just got a v1 and i like the range better on this and my v1 doesnt flase much more then my ix with gps off

The date code is 4208 so it was built in 2008..So it should be 1.0 then...Can I update the database without changing to 1.1

when I had my 9500i I had a crappy encounter on 33.8gh and sold it on Ebay a day later. My 9500IX has weak sensitivity and the fact that it cost me $500 does not make me really happy. I am SO CLOSE to selling her on Ebay it is not even funny. As far as 35.5gh even my mighty V1 struggle on this ban. The ONLY RD's that have done well on this band have been my grand daddy remotes (STI R 9500CI)
