Which to use Auto mode or switch??

[JettaGLI]

WE had this argument before... and the manual isn't too clear.
I have tried all the modes, and NONE of them seem to have effected k/ka/laser detection, no matter what mode i'm in.

I'm 90% positive it's solely for xband.

I think there has to be some filtering on City mode at least. I mean what you're saying is that if I turn X off, then all three modes are identical?

I would think City would give some more filtering to at least K. Who knows thoough.

I have X off (never seen a cop in MA with X), POP off, expert mode, and switch between c/h.

City affects only X, autoscan affects only X

City simply reduces sensitivity,

autoscan breaks the wave into 32 channels, and if 4 are above a certain threshhold it will alert

So by turning X off I effectivly have three of the exact same settings? This isn't such a bad thing, I can just leave it on H all the time, or even turn any indication of what mode it is in off

Sorry I don't really get what you meant by the 32 channels, I don't know much about the actual phsyics of radar.

I've noticed that using auto filters out the pop falses from other detectors. When in Hwy mode a Cobra detector will make it POP. I found this out on my trip to OKC last week while following a car with a Cobra.

I tried this yesterday and it didn't help me any. Must only work against some models of the Cobra junk.

maybe we should start a thread that asks all Cobra owners to throw away that piece of junk and pick up one of the Big 3.

Some protection is better then no protection...

I use Autoscan in false areas and Highway every where else

I am going to say only X as well. I drove around with Auto for the longest time and switched to HWY mode. The K falses are still the same. I leave it in HWY all the time whether it be in the city or on the HWY. Get used to the K band falses, leave it in Expert mode and track em down that way!

I still had to wait almost 30 seconds before I saw the HP

You saw a TXDPS on 635?! :shock:

I never see 'em anywhere else but the tollway and George Bush
