Thanks, as I noted in my first post it's Escort Passport 2-3 years old. Yes I have TSR function in the menu disabled and will turn it on :-)

I'm in South Jacksonville, FL area and 90% of time I'm getting false alarms in K band 24.1-24.2 Ghz. I mean I have to push the mute button every minute!
Do we have any new road devices or car...

Never had a problem with the rain sensor on 300C and LS460 (8500 X50 and Redline detectors).

Are you sure it is Ka band and not K? The frequency you listed is in the K band spectrum not the Ka spectrum.[/QUOTE]

Yes you are right it's K

Most of our shopping malls have quite strong false alarm source in K band around 24.15 Ghz. What device is emmiting this?

But isn't this cruise control laser-based?

There is no such thing as "new RX330", it's RX350 for the last few years.
Would it be safe to assume that we are talking about the "adaptive cruise control" feature or is it something else?

I use the Redline on my LS460 - absolutely perfect match!

Speed cameras? You probably live on another planets. I see the lasers on tripods once every few months :-)
BTW according to the manual "POP" within the bands selection is off. Who keeps it on?

What can I say?
The sensitivity is incredible to the point it's almost useless to know that the radar is a few miles ahead of you :-)
Another nice feature is auto dim wich 8500 lacked.
Bottom...

Got a REDLINE - will report later :-)

:-)

So I guess the answer is: keep your 8500 X50 for now? :-)

Is it worth getting rid of 8500 X50 and getting 9500i in Norhtern FL?
There are no complicated speed traps or cams here so I don't even mention the 9500ix.
I'd say that sensitivity would be my...

It was the road shoulder, not cop's shoulder :-)
So the 8500X50 is not capable of catching laser?

I was doing 60 in the 45 zone, two lane traffic, I'm in the left lane. I was just following the guy in the right lane about 2-3 cars ahead of me doing the same 60 - he got pulled over. The cop had a...

Well, the radar-detector went into SELF-CAL and SERVICE REQUIRED loop and then to OH for service as a result.
No chance to get something decent for cheap.

X50 is fine! Got one for myself about a month ago, can't be any happier.

Rev: 5 no errors so far :)
The power cord has a mute button on it.

Thank you! The reason I'm a little bit concerned about the 9500 is my old Uniden GPSRD. Uniden uses the same idea of storing the coordinates of a specific signal and then muting the alert from the...

The guy offers 7 day return policy, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

However I would appreciate any tips on what to check first!

Thank you guys!
I've got a used blue X50 on ebay for $160. Will give it a try and post a full report.

I'm in FL Jacksonville - St Augustin area and deciding on bying a new 8500 X50.
I'm kinda short on money - is it worth spending more on 9500?
Also buy.com has the 8500 X50 a t a good price,...
