    Yes, X, K, Ka, Safety, Laser, VG2, and POP can be turned on or off individually as you wish.

    Becareful turning bands off. The only one I would feel somewhat safe turning off is x band. I have X band turn off on mine. Turning K off is getting to risky.

    Wait, wait. Somewhat misleading info there.

    You can do the following with BANDS on the Pro 83:

    Highway: All bands, full sensitivity
    City: Same, but different alerts
    City1: All bands on, reduced X-Band sensitivity
    City2: X band off, no change for K or Ka

    So you can turn X off, but not K or Ka.

    Say what? The Pro-73 doesn't support the 1793-style configuration menu that allows for individual bands to be shut off???

    Then put it in City2 Mode. That's exactly what you want.

    Default you'll

    You'll get used to x band after a while. Watch it, I hear they are using x band in some parts of Texas especially Houston.

    hey Stealth, i have a pro-73 on the way and im well expecting it to be a 150 dollar RD but does it normally always at least give a .3mi range on like Ka band. Im not expecting much, just somethign to last me until the 9500i comes at which i will most likely give the whistler to the GF or buy her the new whistler and test them both. But i figured you would know the best and be the most reliable so what can i expect?
