You guys have to keep in mind that each of your test sites will differ from one another depending on the frequencies those auto door sensors are using.

I agree, but the formula on how it works is the same. So something must be wrong, because there are 3 videos and several tests I have done with different build dates and powering it down worked every time. Plus it doesn’t try to lock out after more than 1/4mi from when the icon stops spinning.Originally Posted by Azonehits

In all the tests I have done and GOL's videos we are using actual false and radar. I’m not sure about the X band transceiver module and a K band transceiver module you are using, or if that may be the reason. :?:
Once you locked out the signal you drove a few hundred feet until the spinning icon stopped then powered it down like how my video shows? Not that this should matter.
I hope by taking apart your 9500I something didn’t happen to it. :? Because there is no question in my mind from all the testing and videos that the 9500I only locks out falses 1/10-1/4 mile from when the spinning icon stops. And if you power down the 9500I once the spinning icon stops it will no longer lock out additional falses.
[Edit]
Let’s see if I can be more detailed on what my video shows:
1) You find a single false that you want to lock out.
2) You lock the signal out.
3) You drive a few hundred feet so the icon stops spinning.
4) You power down the unit.
5) You power up the unit.
4) You drive under 1000ft and there is a different false, you will get an alert.
Turning off the car should also work, but I haven’t tested this.
Sounds like you did this: and this may be your problem.
1) You find a single/false that you want to lock out.
2) You lock the signal out.
3) *******Didn’t do?*******.
4) You power down the unit while the icon is spinning.
5) You power up the unit. (9500I starts where it left off "searching" :?: )
4) You trigger your transceiver while the icon is spinning.
5) You proceed to drive, and within 1/10-1/4mi you trigger your transceiver extending the lockout additionally to over a 1/2mi and so on.
on my way home tonight I powered down my 9500I while the icon was spinning and I still got an alert less than 1000ft away.
Hi CJR,
I've embedded my responses mostly within your post, below.
My transceiver modules are the same as used in various radar gun models. Their transmission frequencies remain completely steady once they are turned on, and these frequencies are always repeatable too.
Once I locked out the signal, I drove along a route with no other radar sources to a point about 2 miles away, and then I power cycled my 9500i.
I disassembled my 9500i on an anti-static board, and I too was grounded to the anti-static board. Absolutely nothing happened, electronically, to my 9500i during disassembly or reassembly.
This afternoon I tried the your above method exactly as you have described it. Here is what I found:
For Step 1, I went to a location which has two K band automatic doors -- no X band in the area at all. I locked out these K band doors (Step 2) and then proceeded to a point around 300 feet away where the GPS icon stopped spinning (Step 3). At that point I completed Steps 4 and 5. I then proceeded to a point approximately 800 feet away where I always begin to detect the door openers from an adjacent shopping center across the road and down a small hill. I did NOT get an alert but instead got a spinning GPS icon.
I then went back to the original door openers, cleared the lockout and drove about 1 mile away, power cycled my 9500i, and then decided to perform a slightly different test after returning to the same door openers:
Steps 1 through 5 were done in the same way as above. After completing Step 5 and while still parked at the Step 5 location and with no spinning GPS icon, I first triggered my X band transmitter. I turned my X band transmitter off and then tried my K band transmitter. In both cases I merely got a spinning GPS icon instead of an alert. Why? Because I had never left the GPS cell for the lockout location even though in Step 3 the GPS icon had stopped spinning. Note that when the GPS icon stops spinning, this merely indicates that the 9500i is no longer seeing any radar to lock out, rather than indicating that you have actually left the GPS cell for the lockout location.
That basically was the test I did last night since I wanted to see if simply power cycling my 9500i while still at the lockout location would take it out of learning mode. It doesn't since you must be outside of the GPS cell for the locked out location before power cycling the 9500i in order to take it out of learning mode for that particular locked out location.
I think that this occurred because your car, when encountering the radar source which was less than 1000 feet away, actually was located in an adjacent GPS cell and your 9500i was not in learning mode for the already locked out GPS cell.
Well, there you have it! Today I confirmed once again that you must completely leave the GPS cell for a locked out location before power cycling the 9500i in order to take it out of learning mode for the GPS cell associated with the locked out location.

Interesting. ether you have a completely different TrueLock set up then the 2 I tested and the one GOL tested and what i beleve we all have, or im missing something here. :shock:
Doesn’t make any sense to me why yours is performing the way it is. :roll:
No need to explain further. I will leave it as we agree to disagree. :wink:
keep engoying your 9500I, it allways has new suprises.
