Poor range X50?

[TheTexan]

ok thanks for the info..i just bought a x50 and thinking about gettin rid of it..i barely see speed traps in the city..and if i see a cop driving by his radar is off..and i keep on getting false alarms on the stupid store doors..

go into programming on the x50 and turn off x-band and pop if they arent used in your area and you will be suprised at how that quiets things up in the city... The x50 is the perfect detector for mixed city highway use, great range and great filtering, and program it into Expert Meter that will also help you get to know your area and sniff out cops hiding under a false alarm. You could also think about programming the standard tones on if you dont need the extra volume of the Loud ones, they are significantly less pulse raising than the Loud ones.

yep that's normal, on one occasion that happened to me too except it was K-band and the leo was sitting behind a small truck, other times you get good range

First off your users manual will tell you how to do that.... also to second what he said Ka has never been a false in my area eithier... I do get some falses but not near enough to make me get rid of the X50. I gladly take the falses because it has saved my ass more times than i can count. I take long trips fairly often.

im mostly gettin K as falses

Yea thats those doors at kroger... I get those too sometimes. I dont see it as that big a deal though but like he said just learn to turn the volume down but loud enough to hear it. also the Smart cord alows you to quickly mute it when its a flase. The little cigarete lighter that I have I bought a thing that splits into three slots and mounted it right there at my leg so its easy to mute fast. K band flases from Kroger or your local Hardware store is something that just comes with any detector that you buy. You learn where the falses are though and know that they are coming before they even show up. I DID see a cop hiding under a false just like that other user said earlier though... thats where expert mode came in handy. I saw 2 K band threats when all other countless times I had only saw 1. Something tricky here..... and BAM there he was in the dam* parking lot clocking people driving down the road. Good ol' expert mode saved my behind! I am not sure if he was doing that on purpose or not.... he probably had no clue there was another K band right there but you never know!?!? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

As much as I hate this, Super Markets and others are moving into the K band spectrum for their automatic door motion sensors. Back in the day all of these were X and City Mode on your detector could filter all that out. Turning off X band could also help ( if your area doesn't use X band Radar). On occasion my X50 will false to K as well but you learn where the False spots are and also use the Expert Mode to sniff out the smart cops that want to hide under the cloak of a known falsing location. The X50 is a fine unit, I wouldn't get rid of it. Trust me, it will pay itself back once it saves your @@@ one time.

I would keep the X50
I would turn on Expert Mode

Hope this helps

Expert mode is a must on the X50
