I think for the most part people set it to Auto. As for individual settings it depends on your area, like X band off, or POP off etc.

Am not sure if there is POP in Illinois.

The pattern I get sometimes an X (though rarely. most of the times its a K or Ka) and as I keep driving close to X (stronger on approach and later reduces in strength) and then the bel catches a K alert. Don't know what that could mean (used std mode, wished i used expert mode).

Unfortunately, I have been driving during the night, when I noticed them, and they happen near construction zones or near a light beside or within a construction zone. beside a few gas stations. And that what confuses me.

Is it the red light or a state trooper out there or something else! I dont know.

I have also noticed while on i294, it sometimes says a red light cam, and feel it may be due to the exits that leads to a red light or a portion where there is a cam below the highway and that's part of the normal city.

But I guess since most of Illinois doesnt have X, AutoScanNoX is fine in most areas with tech or expert signal strength.

Suggestions?

I think you answered your own Q, if X is not used then AutoscanNox. As for POP most people turn it off regardless of the unit.

As for K falses, I would do this: Turn on Tech display and see the freq, typically when you pass the same falses over and over the freq will be just about the same, if it is after a few times you pass it lock it out.
