He bought it a week ago. Assuming it's from V1 he can still return it. I'd agree that it sounds like he would be better off with the 9500ix.
Eh, I'd rather keep the V1, already bought it, works perfectly (minus the high sensitivity which is not really an issue anymore) and I just like everything about V1 and the VR Corp. Can anyone clarify what I asked a few posts back please? Thanks guys.

Yes, (7) has to be enabled for this to work.
You don't have to use option (G) if you choose.
Option (G) kills K band on the rear antenna at all times in a logic mode, that probably should not have been written into the sticky.
Most people are afraid of this one, but I like it because it re-mutes breakthrough.
(A) mode overrides all the K band settings that you have chosen like you never set them, including (G)
Like others have said, only use logic modes for areas that you don't speed or sure K band is not a problem as there is a high probability that distance instant on shots will not be reported.
__________________ V1.7 (2.879) Front laser only 95' w/97' gut swap upgrade, 99' band LED ID upgrade. Favorite options before drones: 17bG (X-off, 4-LED K-automute, 30-sec max delay, rear K-automute, small L mode. Favorite options after drones: 17bEFG (X-off, 8-LED K-automute, 30-sec max delay, rear K-automute, large L mode. Reg vol at 1-2 o'clock, max vol in work bobtail, mute vol always min. (A) mode override for known K band LEO hot zones.
Does the first post mean that the automute K band does not work at all nor does unmute at 4 and 6 lights and the turn off rear K band unless option 7 is enabled? In "A" mode is everything you have programmed literally turned off and factory defaults are then enabled, and then once you switch to little or big "L" mode then the previously programmed modes come back? Sorry if thats confusing.
I personally think big L is too dangerous. If a LEO is using even somewhat selective I/O K band up ahead of you, you will not be notified and the first alert you get will be a full blast K band notification to pull over.

djrams80 and AirMoore , i dont want to comments your posts
neither want to enter your silly war against V1 , but if you think escort or Belsti driver better than V1
Then come to my country where K and KA band are mostly being used
and see how your favrout radars acts !!
your 9500i neither for K or KA band work good at all !!
now you will tell me for US is good what a joke !!!
when i called escort company they told me our 9500I is great for KA band and can detect it better than any radar !!
yeah great sometimes it detect KA Stationery near our house from 200 meters
some times 50 sometimes 100 and every day same thing happen !!
and also for K band !! now i would rather to go with false alaram but not having a ticket !!!
if you think your 9500ci is great is fine but dont compare it with $400 radar that if you have mind !
i would like to have false alarm rathan than dead dectore which detect from 50 meters !!!
and stop acting like boss and leader of this fourm , if i wanna buy i can buy your car and your detector company ! and trust me on t his !
you both are flooding the fourms with your silly comments and acting as very professional just becouse you own 9500ci or have friends working there !
The V1 is more sensitive than the 9500ix. However, the threats we deal with here in the US are completely different than what you deal with. The threats we see every day are all high powered. These are totally different than what you deal with. The 9500ix and STi detect these threats within a couple of seconds of the V1. The GOL 2007 radar detector tests show just this:
The place where the 9500ix kills the V1 is city useability. In the US, almost nowhere can the user turn off K band as you can. There are also lots of places where X band is still heavily used. My V1 alerts almost constantly while driving in my city, whereas the 9500ix will be almost completely silent.
I am personally not an STi fan for lots of reasons, but its city useability is much better than the V1 and its sensitivity is very close. Some that use both report that the STi will beat the V1 on a fairly regular basis in real world situations against 34.7Ka , the most popular Ka band frequency in the US.
My car is not for sale and I don't think Belscort is either, Richie Rich.

Thanks you for your replay
I dont know about US but we need something can work for every country
now i consider V1 makers are smarter than escort
they made a detector where can be useed within whole world not US Only
But even my 9500 ramp up alot near doors
same as V1 , i do agree 9500i is more silent and i like it but whats the benfits ?
I hope v1 keep the same high sensitivity with more silence then it will be 100%
but again i would rather having false alarms than having a ticket
I know your 9500ci unbeatable but that is just different animal
we talk about windshield detector which is arround $500 and be honest djrams80 V1 is one of the best !
djrams80 no hard feelings and from your replay i can feel you are a nice guy but its not good to make someone else business down just becouse he or she doesnt like that product ... if V1 doesnt suits u or doesnt suits US , it suits others or other countries
and thanks and no hard feelings and am sorry if i was rude in pervious post
I dont know about US but we need something can work for every country
I'm not too sure about this. VR will not even ship a V1 to anywhere outside of the US and if you're V1 breaks, I'm not sure what you'd have to do to get it fixed.

Escort provides products made mostly for the US market, Bel provides products made mostly for the worldwide market. They are the same company.

Neither of my 9500s alert to any door I normally see. They are all Truelocked out. In auto mode, door opener false alerts are also greatly reduced, without Truelock.

The benefits are peace and quiet, passenger comfort and if your RD only alerts to true threats, all alerts are taken more seriously, just to name a few. I tend to sort of tune out my V1 because it falses too much. The only alert I really take seriously right off the bat on my V1 is Ka band.

I would rather have both. Both my 9500ix and my 9500ci are almost completely quiet, but still detect real threats very well.

Again, agreed. I personally like my 9500ix just slightly better than my V1. But remember, I live in one of the biggest cities in the world. False alerts and RLCs are everywhere. If I lived in a small town with very few false alerts, I would surely like my V1 better. I recommend V1s to many people asking what RD to buy, because not everyone lives in an area like mine.

No sweat. No hard feelings here either.

I guess am lucky no X band in my country and I do agree it alerts me for false k band becouse of door openers
At end am lucky that no x band and you are lucky no KA 34.300 band in your city
becouse if there is am sure u will hate 9500i and sell it
and if i think of buying new RD , it will be Bel STi-R simply becouse any country
deal with multanova then he is in real threat and escort company wont do any good for him
I guess am lucky no X band in my country and I do agree it alerts me for false k band becouse of door openers
I don't have any X band where I live either, but it is an approved radar frequency for California. There is no reason why a LEO couldn't use an old X band radar gun and hand out lots of tickets to RD users that have turned off X band to avoid false alerts. Both my 9500ix and 9500ci have X band enabled with all the X band false alerts locked out. Thus, I am safe from this threat, no matter how unlikely.

Ah, but I am quite confident that my 9500ci would give me plenty of warning against this threat.

If it's as bad as you say it is against 34.3Ka, I would definitely sell my 9500ix and get something more sensitive to deal with this threat.

I think the Bel STi-R is the absolute best option for dealing with your 34.3Ka problem, with its selectable Ka band segments. Your alert distances would probably be outrageous. You would have lots of K band false alerts however, worse than your V1.

Agreed. The 9500i(x) does not appear sensitive enough to deal with these low powered Multanova threats.
