Escort 9500i Late Alert and No Alert HELP ASAP

[nsx479hp]

RD = Radar Detector

I personally think you need to do a lot more reading around here. It's my opinion that you're out buying all these countermeasures, without even understanding what they do, or what you are fighting. You first need to have a basic understanding of radar and laser, as in how each works, before you can understand how to defend against each.

I have been doing a little research here and there on how they work with the later models. I also have been using an old early 90's Cobra X and K band radar for 4 years now. That was passed down to me along time ago from a familer member that claims it doesn't work. I figured out that it does work only against X and K bands with plenty of false alerts.

Right... I understand where u coming from. There is a saying that people say "You got to know the system to beat the system". I would like to know in how to use all laser and radar with hands on experience. And then know learn how to defend against radar and laser. I have seen how one particular radar works monitoring 4 cars 1. coming toward you 2. the 2nd to the fastest car in front 3. the fast car in front 4. the car behind. I think its called Spector(misspelled) i could be wrong. I know I can't purchase the radar and laser systems the LEO are using. No one is going to teach me how to the systems unless I join the LEO. The only thing I can do is to read and get my hands on a RD and Laser for hands on experience. Believe me if I was losing money I would not be doing this. At the end I think its going to cost me at least maybe $1500 for a good complete system. "But yet its still not ticket proof and never will" I just had to mention that part cuz I don't want people to think I'm some kinda speed irresponsible driver that is careless.

Correct. The majority of radar you will probably see is Ka band, which that RD you were using does not detect.

That video you saw was of the Stalker, which is by far the most popular radar system out there. In that guy's videos, he demonstates the "hold" mode. That's what you encountered when you got the short alert. When in "hold" mode, there is no radar transmission, therefore nothing for your 9500i to detect.

You most certainly can purchase radar and laser equipment. There are lots of us here that own police speed measurement devices, including myself. In fact, there are lots of us here that get together sometimes and test our countermeasures against the exact speed measurement instruments used by the police.

This is exactly my point. It my opinion(and don't take offense), that you are just trying to throw money at this and hope it makes the police go away. That's not the way it works. There are many here that have successful police countermeasure setups that work just fine, for about $600. There are other crazy obsessed f**kers like me that have about $4000 setups in their car, but that's another story. While having the best equipment does help, the understanding of how police use their tools is much more important.

Makes that car double retarded!

[mrcllusb]

UGLY!

But it works maybe?

[djrams80]

But it works maybe?

Never said they weren't effective and useful. I know they are. But I just can't bring myself to install that total eyesore on my baby.
