9500 ix day 4

True, but you are excessively aggressive about putting down a feature that obviously works, just not how you expected it to work. And calling it TrueCrock and your sig doesn't help ether. Plus calling me out is unnecessary.

No, obviously something caused you to have several problems with TrueLock, and it wasn't you or the LEO. TrueLock works according to its environment not however it feels like. Some averments are the same same are not.

I have a video showing 1/4 mile lock outs, but i am sure the area was much different than yours.

you should get paid by Escort to sugarcoat the failure of TrueLock. You never seem to tire regardless of the evidence out forth. It's actually funny

Right now I am using my 9500ix for performance mostly. I don't feel comfortable locking out falses manually or with TL turned on just yet. This technology is a good idea but needs some more time to develop before I will trust it 100%

exactly. Good for you

According to Escort, TrueLock does not actively block police radar and it works brilliantly as advertised. I guess they failed to mention that you have to use CJR238's small but helpful 3,592 word essay on the proper way to use flawed technology so that you don't get fu**ed.

As for the GPS Truelock capability, do you really think that a premier radar detector manufacturer would release not just one but several high-end radar detectors with Truelock that would actively block police radar and expect to stay in business long? I can tell you from personal experience that Truelock works brilliantly as advertised.

So true...

Too bad that IMO there is no way to "fix" TrueLock. It works the only way it could. Even minor improvements wont improve the ability to know radar from radar.

its also to bad no radar detector manufacturer can really just make a plug in and go RD. They all require some effort and understanding to make them work properly for the individuals needs.

Its not sugarcoating, its trying to make something work that is inconsistent depending on environment.
Its not like i claim it works in every scenario, or believe its perfect with no flaws. I admit the positives and negatives, there is no reason to state the known and obvious problems that are already in my sticky and known. I try to give positive alternatives to make it possibly work for some that want to try. Negativity never gets anyone anywhere.

I just firmly feel it can be made to work for anyone who looks outside the box and is willing to make adjustments in there driving. But I also know some people cant or wont except that.

If TrueLock locked out all bands completely (even KA) it wouldn't bother me that much. I have the strong preference for a quiet RD, and i would never ever speed in those areas. Because its fiscally impossible, un safe and i would know not to. Plus I always have the option of turning TrueLock off if i do decide to speed.
Pretty simple to me. But im also excessively positive about everything, and always like to make things work.

Ah. A glass half full kind of guy.
It's a great quality to have if you can keep it.

Not easy, I found allot of people despise it and misunderstand it.

Not I.
I just happen to be in the middle of the two sides.....and occasionally lean towards the pessimistic side out of safety/security. i.e. - it's hard to be burned in life if you look at, acknowledge, and accept the worst case scenario as a very real possibility.

I do point out advantages to things just as hard as I bash things that are considered failures to me. Hey...I'm pretty hard on myself.

I do know how you feel.

The first time I encountered a real K band threat at a TrueLock location and got a alert that went to spinning icon 1/4mi from the lock out i was disappointed to say the least. Plus the negativity about TrueLock in the beginning was so aggressively negative I am surprised I didn't hate it too. I just didn't see why people went way out of there way to make it sound like There was no way it could, or would ever work for anyone.
They actually said it locked out the whole K band, witch we know is not true now.
So I decided to do some extensive testing on 3 different 9500I's. I was able to do allot of testing on locking out a real K band threats at many TrueLock locations a few dozen times in different areas. I was always alerted in some way before it lock it out, or it was an area difficult to speed.
It actually did much better than what we were lead to believe at the time, but if it was a bad lock out location the options were limited, and that's where the Risk Scenarios came from.

Enough of my rambling, stupid TrueLock is going to ruin my life. I never get any work done trying to explain it.
