9500i question

Sounds like the 9500I would be a good choice for her. What I suggest is you drive on her regular routs and lock out what you feel is safe or obvious to lock out. Then just have her leave it in "A" mode and your good to go.

The 9500I is less "sensitive" than the V1 but that doesn’t mean the chances of getting a ticket with a V1 are any less. The 9500I is very smart when paired with a good programmer or user and the detection range is just fine.

Once the 9500I is programmed correctly you can simply tell her if it beeps slow down. Also keep it in Expert mode so if there are multiple threats she will get a verbal notification.

The 9500I is as close as we can get to a LEO detector, for now.

Otherwise go with an x50.

Hi Hockey,

Do the local police still use K band radar guns around town? If not, then your mom can use a 9500i and lock out all K band falses around town. If K band is still used around town, then the 9500i in A or C mode is amazingly quiet around town. Your mom could simply put the 9500i into either of these modes when in town and be happy. Since NJ still uses X band, your mom should be careful not to lock out any X band falses. That should be easy enough for her and since most microwave door openers now are K band units.

Thats my two cents!

Well first off your mom is not safe with just a detector anymore. It is no longer safe to speed like a BOOH. without having a Laser Jammer, a scanner and or cb with you. Your mother must know what a radar detector can and will not do. Also how police operate and the ways they can track your speed. She must understand this or she will be like most noobs and speed around thinking shes the stuff until she ends up with a laser, vascar, pacing ticket. Only to give up on detectors and bash them to others.
