My Whistler SE Rd has arrived and........
I got my Whistler 78SE today and not even 6 miles to work on the outskirts of the city i get 2 Ka9 falses. LOL..settings were Ka max and Filter and POP off. I'm going to test the SE with my "HOT" Pro 78 Rev C platform. I have had no radar encounters yet. However with all my other Whistler units i can false a 34.0,34.7,35.5,34.9 on the SE :D mostly in the menu modes.

Yea, you go anywhere near the city and you'll get Ka falses every couple of minutes. Don't forget to turn Ka RSID on. Usually, a Ka false doesn't display a RSID on the Whistler.

Try Filter 1 or 2 and see what happens.

Glad to hear that you finally got your SE. I hope it meets your expectations.

It usually took a few seconds before my 690se would display a RSID for a LEO. Typically I would see a quick Ka 1-2 strength alert with no RSID. A few seconds later the alert would come back with an RSID and would ramp up as I approached the source.
You can prob ignore the Ka 8 or 9 alerts with no RSID. However, I'd pay attention to the Ka 1-2 strength alerts as those would usually turn into something.

If the different filters do not solve yout brief Ka9 issues, try taking it out of MaxID mode and select the RSID option and go back to standard Filter.
From there you can increase to Filter 1 or 2 if necessary.
If there is no difference in the amount of falses you receive between MaxID and RSID, you may as well run MaxID and get the added Ka sensitivity.
If RSID solves your Ka9 falses, they you need to decide if you want to tolerate the issue in MaxID mode to gain the extra sensitivity, otherwise run in the RSID mode and your performance will be similar to a Pro78 Rev C but you will retain the RSID function that the Pro78 does not have.
Re: My Whistler SE Rd has arrived and........
I actually don't mind the Ka9 falses. It keeps me aware my RD is detecting something and working properly. I drove around for 2 hours last night around the city looking for some 35.5Ka. The SE was very quiet even in Filter mode Ka max. I will be leaving for New Mexico on a 600 mile trip in a few hours and running video so stay tuned sunday night for SE video posts.

One day a while back in the big city i was getting more than usual Ka falses and tried this because my 695nonSE didn't Ka false in this area previously. It definitely seemed to help. I left Filter in its default mode.
Would be great if this could be incorporated by using the 'City' button instead of the hassle of going into the menu. Maybe the Filter settings could also be incorporated by using the City button by increasing the settings to City4 with City4 being the most filtered/reduced sensitivity.
One possible matrix:
City - stays same, (X, K, Ka Filter settings per menu)
City1 - reduced X band only
City2 - reduced X band, Ka max=off, Filter (unless XK ID issue is fixed leave Xband on but reduced sensitivity)
City3 - reduced X band, Ka max=off, Filter1
City4 - reduced X band, Ka max=off, Filter2
Highway - stays same and resets all settings per menu
