1-What radar bands do the local LEO's use?
X, K, Ka
2-in the places where you want to lock out K & X falses do LEO's sit there? Occasionally
3-are the falses near traffic lights?
Yes
4- where do you live.
RI
5-how do you drive?
Safely, I'm not a speeder in my Volvo Wagon
Ok, you fall into a High/Low Risk scenario in the locations where LEO's sit and there is falses. Your area is particularly tuff because of the clustered falses. Your choices for theses areas LEO's occasionally sit are:Quote:

3-Auto mode may work well here because of the traffic lights and driving slower. So you may not need TrueLock here anyway.
Obviously all the other, and maybe even these are Low Risk scenarios that can be locked out, mainly because your a safe driver and aren’t going to go too fast in areas where traffic lights and shops are.
I have a few places i locked the c**p out of, and LEO's sit there but because of the traffic and lights i couldn’t really speed if i wanted to.
You can still fool around with trying to lock out 1 signal within 2 but it doesn’t sound like its what you want to do anyway, or that easy for you to do because of the close proximity of falses.
A note though, none of us have ever seen a real LEO actively checking for speeders get locked out after a lock out area is created. Most instances Expert mode unlocked the lock out point and alerted.
Even if a LEO’s radar is exactly the same 30MHz block you will most likely pick it up before you even get to the lock out point anyway.
I personally would lock out those areas and drive cautiously or just use Auto mode there.
Last question: you get all theses falses on the rout your driving and not only in the shopping center you’ve been driving into?
You may be able to lock them out better on the rout your driving then turning around and powering down so not to get the outher alert if you only want to lock out one.

Very good, I would be very interested to see your results with a LEO in the same areaas a lock out.Quote:

OK,I'm no 9500i expert but,if I understand this correctly....You want to separately lock-out X and K-band False alerts.
Go into program mode and disable K-band,then drive by false X-band source,Tru-Lock it and then power down 9500I.Now you'll have only false X-band source locked,w/o locking out false K-band source.
To Lock-out only one false K-band source w/o Locking false X-band source ,disable X-band ,drive by false K-band source ,True-Lock the false K-band source and power down 9500I
MEM-TEK ,djrams ,CJR238 ....will this work?
I've never tried it, but I'd think it surely would. Excellent idea!Quote:

Ah, I see what you are trying to do. Keep in mind that door openers come in pairs. There is the radar module on the outside of the door, and there is a radar module on the inside of that same door. So, no matter what, when you lock out a door opener you are actually locking out a pair of radar transmitters.
Now think about X and K band radar guns. Ideally, if they were tuned correctly when built and during subsequent calibration checks, X band guns should transmit on 10.525GHz and K band guns should transmit on 24.150GHz. This usually is the case, yet is far from always being the case. Indeed, police X and K radar guns legally can transmit on anything between 10.500 to 10.550 on X band and on anything between 24.050 to 24.250 on K band. But most of the time police X and K band radar guns transmit on frequencies which are pretty close to 10.525 or 24.150.
So, it is rather pointless to worry about avoiding locking out any 10.525 or 24.150 signals from door openers. Much more important is to only lock out door openers if you are at least 200 feet from them so that the 9500i sees much lower signal intensities from the door openers and therefore sets the small 1/10 mile lockout radius. This, more than anything is key to Truelock working successfully at filtering out those door openers yet alerting to any X or K band radar you encounter once you are more than 1/10 mile from the lockout location of if you encounter strong police radar while you are within the lockout location.
good idea, My only concern is when X or K is turned off is that its not really off its just suppressing the alert and it may still lock it out. But its certainly worth a test.Quote:
