Ramp-Up

[RadarKid]

Mine works quite well with latest firmware update. Picked up a CHP running constant on from about 2 miles distant. I could watch it ramp up well in traffic. Seemed on so long until I saw him pass but bar graph kept increasing. Didn't know there were so many bars.

Once I finally spotted him and he passed going the opposite way, it rapidly dropped down linearly in fashion for about one block.

you must've got a better download of than the rest of us.
run an original X50, or a V1 for a week and tell me the 9500i ramp up doesnt SUCKNUTS. It goes from about 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-8-10
Calling it "Linear rampup" is being very generous.
If I'm not mistaken CJ is one that likes it...he wants a full alert as quick as possible...others like myself (hate that) and prefer to always have an accurate idea of where the threat is at any given time. Probably why I appreciate the arrows of the V1 as well.

You should have owned the first few 9500i units. It was ONLY 1 or 10 and nothing in between.

Plus, XM Radio wouldn't work around them either. That was a hardware fix.

For me, ramp-up is fine on my updated 9500i to 95001x and on my newer 95001x as well (Yes. I have 2).

X2.

The old 1-1 to 10-10 ramp up I loved.

The new more linear ramp up I don't care for much 1-2-3-6-8-10. It can also be erratic with short distance alerts, varying up and down.

I find Escort ramp-ups tend to love to peg when normally a human interpreting a linear ramp-up would "freak out", such as in off-axis or over-the-hill or IO encounters where the signal strength suddenly jumps.

It almost feels to me as if it's an intentional "feature" of Escort detectors to immediately peg the alert in this case when a linear ramp-up detector would just portray the sudden spike for what it is.

On my X50 M4 there were several times while doing around-the-corner runs in my neighborhood against a speed sign where significantly before the killzone the detector jumped 1-2-3-10-10. shutting off the detector and powering it back up gave a 3-4 ramp up again.


I doubt it's a bug in the sense that it is to be "fixed", but it does need to be "fixed" or selectable to revert to a more representative ramp-up behavior.

Is there really that much of a difference in rampup from i to ix?

Yes, it was horrendous to all but me, night and day.
It literally went 1-1-1-1-10-10-10 every time. At least now when you get a 1mi or more alert with the updated "I" & "ix" it ramps up somewhat slowly.

yeah..that was BEFORE the update though.
As of now, I have the same ramp up that a 9500ix does. And its not impressive.
