what's the difference on rx65

[clay143]

I am wondering what the difference is between city, autoscan, and highway modes on the rx65. I know that the city mode is more prominent in filtering, but why autoscan and highway?

[Malibumaxx]

Highway - reports every single radar source
Autoscan - proprietary software figures out if your on a highway or in a city and adjusts sensitivity accordingly
City - low sensitivity (also there are different version under program)

on city you can also turn X band off...

I have an RX-65 S7
In STD city-mode, weak X-band signals are shown on the display but there is no audio untill a strength threshold is met. Reminiscent of K-band AutoMute on a V-1.

So how accurate is Autoscan?

i've always kept mine in autoscan, works quite nice.

autoscan pairs up x and k band signals. if it detects two k or x band signals at the same time it assumes that they are coming from city sources (ie two stores next to each other in a shopping plaza) and ignores them.

Highway mode for best performance.

On the pair thing for sources. Most auto door openers have a pair of guns, one for people coming in, on for people going out. I think Mike B said that Whistler also looks for pairs, so it's probably something most of the makers do.

Autoscan on the Rx65 only does X band pair filtering
