Highway or Auto
Which mode is better and most used by everyone? i'm trying to decide which to use. Thank you so much!
I have mine set on Auto. I tested it out on Highway for a few days but damn thing would go off at every intersection. Maybe it's because I live in an urban area :P
I have mine on Highway.
City low x setting can't go wrong! Does not affect K or Ka band! :POriginally Posted by Mayur
U worried about X band for some reason?
If you're out in the country or do a lot of highway driving, highway is the way to go (it's also the mode I leave mine in, despite my urban lifestyle). If you usually drive on side streets with lots of commercial development (read: automatic door openers), you might want to flip into auto mode.
If you live in a place where X-band is not used (and you know this for a fact), turning X off on your detector can eliminate most of those openers.
I never use auto delay's the response time!
Leo's will often (most of the time) sit behind X-band speed signs when the city leaves them on (the LEO's run K-band)... the LEO's must think that because the X band is constant-on and the K band is instant on... the RD user will get the normal "your speed is" X band false.U worried about X band for some reason?
It really is a good idea by the LEO's, they just dont understand that on new RD's you have multi-threat displays.
So when I see that the X-band signs are on... I always slow down, so for those facts I keep my X band on highest alert... since the X is so much easier to detect then K is... especially constant-on X vs instant-on K.

after using the v1
i use highway on the 8500
If you run the x50 in city low X without multiple threat display on the x50 even if picking up x band will override to k or ka band if leo's are running it in instant or constant on!Leo's will often (most of the time) sit behind X-band speed signs when the city leaves them on (the LEO's run K-band)... the LEO's must think that because the X band is constant-on and the K band is instant on... the RD user will get the normal "your speed is" X band false.U worried about X band for some reason?

Only time the multi threat display comes in handy is when there are multiple signal's of the same band, single or multiple threat's of K or KA really doesn't matter too me cause either way I'm slowing down!
Even if the LEO is hiding behind a x band speed sign running instant on K band with the x50 set to city low x you'll weed out the annoying falses and have plenty of time to respond to the k band threat! A while back in a small near by town Sumner Wa I ran into the same situation a local LEO hiding behind a x band speed wagon and the x50 gave me 3+ miles of warning & he was shooting instant on!
Why deal with all the falses when you don't need too!
