Hi everyone. I was looking at the settings on my RX-65 and I have the following settings set up. I just wanted to get an opinion on how it should be set up so it has the best performance. I live in New York State, but I sometimes drive in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Display: Threat
Always on Highway Mode
City Mode (not commonly used): LoX
X: On
K: On
Ka: USA
POP: On
Ku: On
Laser: On
SWS: Off

Ku is not used in North America. POP is not a legitimate way to obtain a persons speed. Even from the manual, POP is only supposed to be used as an estimate tool, or something in that regard.

You still want to know if the LEO ''POPs'' 10 cars in front of you. If you are the first car he POPs, puts it in normal mode and Instant Own you, it won't help too much. OR if you don't have POP enabled and the very first alert you have is an Instant Ownage, it would still wreck your day


On another note, if you don't have 33.8ghz in your area, turn it off. If you do, I would personally turn it on but that's just me

Ku is used in this country, but it isn't for police radar. I decided to turn it off after doing a test. My neighbor has a low mounted DirecTV satellite dish and I used all 3 of my detectors to see what band signal might be around it in case I get interference if I get falses on the road near satellite dishes. I waved it in the line of sight of the dish and even put it between the LNBs and the dish until it alerted. The Cobra said X, the Whistler said Ka 34.3 or 34.0 and the Beltronics said Ku 13.456 (no Ka even in threat mode). There was no voice for the Ku and they used a generic beep that is used for other tones.
