Does activating the "POP" mode on 9500ix

[toshiba]

slow down any performance of the unit itself??

[Unkind]

POP mode on the Belscorts certainly does improve the response time to 33.8 Ka..........but appears to be a boat anchor for response times on all other bands, including K-Band which is the "other" POP freqency!

This seems to be the general consensus and has been backed up by testing IIRC.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna disable my pop mode then on my 9500ix

Man, I have learn so much since I join this site. I think that I will disable pop on mine ix also.

I run the ix as well. Havnt turned pop on since i bought it. Its already slow enough scanning without band segmentation, no reason to slow it down more with stuff like POP, SWS, or TSR.

So will TSR slow it down also, do I need to turn that off?

TSR filters for K band drones that shoot intermittently (which makes it hard for truelock to lock out) that some states put on their highways. If your state uses these drones and you encounter them and they drive you crazy, leave it on. If your state doesnt or you can handle the noise, leave it off. It reduces K band sensitivity, and additional filtering always = slower scanning.

SWS slow's down my detector? Interesting, any tests ever done in relation to this?

I might turn it off and see if it come up. Thanks

I would imagine so. Every time your detector 'sees' a K band signal (which SWS uses) its going to have to check it to see if it is a threat or an SWS message before alerting.
