escort 9500ix truelock got me a ticket

[BLKCMY00]

i think it's time to turn off our "TrueLock" for now.. before Escort come up with the fix.

i can't risk any tickets.

I remember watching the video Escort put out comparing the 9500 to other RDs which just happened to be a V1, what a bunch of garbage...the guy reminded me of a used car sales men...thats when i decided not to buy one.

I guess autolearn will remain an enigma to all of us. can i make this assumption that V1>9500ix?

I have been thinking.....the next Escort video for the 9500ix....the perfect spokesman.....the "Sham Wow" guy

... He says i was sittting in a parking lot to your left about a 1 mile down the road. When i clocked you going 55 in a 35. I then asked how he got my speed and he said radar. I then asked what type of radar he was using he said it was k band c/o and i was just sitting their waiting for someone to speed by me. So i got all my papper work for the officer and i was sitting their and then i noticed my gps icon spinning. It was still locking out this radar even know i wasnt in a known lockout area. So i turned the gps off and unplugged my ix and plugged it back in. Now it goes crazy alerting me k band with the leo sitting behind me writing me my ticket...

Just doesn't sound right to me. And it's not even 4/1

I agree. I've never heard a LEO refer to radar as C/O or I/O, like we do. We still have not seen a copy of the ticket. Also, the 9500ix should have alerted the second blackbeltrk turned off his GPS. He shouldn't have had to power cycle his 9500ix, unless the reason it wasn't alerting was smartmute and not TrueLock. The other thing I find wierd is that blackbeltrk's second post ever is about TrueLock getting him a ticket. That just seems odd.

I love my 9500ix and am going to let this one lockout slide but I am going make a big deal if this happens again anytime soon. Seems like everyone is starting to have 9500 problems all at once.

I Only turn on my V1 K-band because someone claim a ticket with the autolearn. To see if it's true, I decided to turn K-band on my V1 to run side by side comparision. Its true the 9500CI did lock out a leo all this time and i didnt know it.

Truelock can't be fixed it can be improved but never be perfect, the reason i don't trust trulock is because I have seen a cop running 24.169 the same frequency a door opener along the highway is so even with expert meter it's still the same frequency to the hundreth. I still like running my 9500ix it's very quiet and sensitive with autosensitivity and all the cops run top of the line stalker ad mph ka bands so I don't worry about trulock in my city and allways prooceed with caution on other cities that do use k band.

I agree 100%.

Although I think that Escort can improve the "resolution" of the detector to allow for even tighter "segmentation," as well as make additional improvements such as a "strength-of-signal" over-ride or give additional discrimination of the number of signals present, I think that, in the end, it's still going to be a level of risk, as with *ANY* form of filtering.

It'll never be perfect.

But for city-folk like me, who require at least *some* protection, and furthermore tremendously appreciate the peace-and-quiet that this detector can bring, in terms of the everyday commute, the 9500-series does have a place, and I think that as long as Escort strives to really and earnestly IMPROVE the product, it'll still have its share of the detector/countermeasures market.

My lock-outs are all along my commute routes - all in what would be "High Risk" areas, by CJR's classification. Yes, I've seen genuine enforcement signals locked-out, via a TrueLock in that location from previous. I've never been ticketed - because, in using my 9500i in such a "High Risk" area, I simply understand the risks associated, and change my driving habits accordingly.

The few times when I've *really* had to speed along the routes? I simply reached up and turned off the GPS, and also flicked the setting over to "Highway."

My 9500i, so far, as not surprised me one bit in its performance - good or bad. I see it simply as the next evolution of the 8500x50.

I'm a V1 fanatic and I'll be he first one to say that this statement is unfair. The correct statement would be:

Filtering: Me > Circuitry

The 9500ix is still a very sensitive detector that offers a cam database. Just because Truelock is being called into question does NOT mean that it is now worthless or untrustworthy.
