    Is that not what you meant?
    Not shure what your trying to do but. Did the 9500I see the other false after or during lock out? What are you trying to do? If your trying to only lock the 1 X band out make sure the 9500I doesn’t see the K false at any time before or during locking out the X. Than immediately drive at least 1/10mi with no alert away, you can then power it down or drive back.

    trying to lock out 1 signal at a time to avoid any possibility of a legit signal.
    It saw the other false AFTER the lockout was confirmed. I can't drive 1/10 of a mile away from the first location without hitting another false in the area. Thats why I want to do one at a time.

    Then you have to properly power the unit down after locking out the first signal, not unplug the unit.

    I can read that instruction later then...I don't have the book with me.

    Press and hold the power button until she says powering down, like this:

    Got it, makes sense what you’re trying to do. If the falses are too close together to get at least a 1/10mi of no alert after locking out it may be very difficult to do what you want it to do. The 1/10mi of no alert after the false ends is key and powering down correctly.

    So essentially you have a rout you drive that has an X & K false very close to each other and you only want to lock out the X.
    Well as i see it there is 2 choices because the falses are clustered together.

    1- your going to here the K false even if you lock out the X, so you could just not lock out that spot since you hearing a false anyway.

    2- Even if you locked out the X and not the K your going to drive slow there anyway because the local LEO's use K band, so just lock both. You probably never see them there anyway.

    I will quote a statement from my thread that should be followed ether way you decide to go:
    If you decide to lockout a false in a High Risk area to mute the alert you should still drive through the area with caution if you suspect any chance you could have locked out police radar. The same rules would apply if you were using any non GPS capable detector and instead pressed your mute button in false area. Simply treat the spinning satellite icon in your display as a silent alert and proceed with your own discretion and best judgment.

    so you dont agree with DJ that powering it down after the first will solve the problem?

    It may, and should. However every scenario can be slightly different. The ~1/10mi-500ft of no alert after the last false ends seems to be key, then powering down if you wish. Even if your sitting directly in front of the false (which I still don’t suggest) it requires the 1/10mi of no alert and that’s why driving into shopping centers to lock out falses is not a good idea unless you want to lock out the hole shopping center.

    I would want both these two sources (Walgreens & OfficeMax) locked out (X and K) but I'm afraid that it may lock other legit X's and K's out...

    no?

    If there is not a LEO there running radar when the lockout occurs, then he will not be locked out. I think you need to reread CJR's stickie:
