    Default I'm starting to have doubts in Autolock (as currently implemented)

    I've only gone through the learning phase twice and this is now the 3rd time with a new 2nd 9500ix.

    The AutoLock is locking out WAY WAY too fast.

    This is after a fresh reset.

    I drive into a new town at like 3PM and get 1 False.
    I stop at the house for 1 hr or so and then we go to the market.

    Drive through town again and I get the false again.
    Returning back to house (approx 15minutes later) I get the false again.

    And Ding-Dong it locked it out.

    From first occrance to lockout like within 1.5 hr's.

    And might not even be worse case, the time between 2 and 3rd event was like 15 minutes !!!

    That is way way too soon. I always thought it would be like a minimum of 12hr's before it would register another occurance (i.e. the next DAY !!!).

    I think the GPS absolutely works and even automatic can work.

    But users need to be able set their own minimum time between events, number of events to lockout and number of misses to unlock. And perhaps width of frequency range locked out, Oh and radius.

    The current parameters seem a bit risky. Well very risky. And totally not needed to work effectively. What are they thinking?

    They (Escort) are thinking nothing is wrong. We have tried to tell them that Autolearn has problems that need to be fixed.

    It's not an exact science. Turn auto learn off and manually lock out the areas you want....

    Well that doesn't solve the possibility of it locking out a real LEO, but it would solve the problem he was complaining about.

    Do they associate a lock out with a specific frequency? That might help fix the accidental leo lock out when manually locking locations out.

    No. I thought that was the case at first but it is not. If you lock out a K band false, then you will not receive a signal if a LEO is running K band in the locked out area. That is also why manual lock out doesn't work either.
