    I stick with Expert Meter on my X50. I prefer being able to track multiple signals visually; and I haven't had much enjoyment with the frequency display or the big-bar-of-blue display.

    Well I don't have my 8500 yet, but I think when it arrives, I will start out using it on SpecDisplay for a week or 2, and the Expert Mode for a week or 2 in order to see which one I like better. If I need to I will just switch back and forth.

    I switched to expert meter after about 2 weeks with the 9500ix. I got used to it quickly, and now use it 100% of the time. As CJR says... It's fun to hear Multiple Frequencies Detected!!

    O ya got to love it.

    I'm trying to get Escort to add a SpecExpert mode display. Looks like they may do something in this direction at some point. Most likely like speed alert on the 9500ix.

    I like Spec mode better than Expert.

    That would be perfect... It would be everything you need without touching the unit...

    Today, I was approaching a Wal-greens and got strong dual K alerts that probably would have over powered the weak Ka that was coming from an approaching LEO.
    It was my understanding that even a very weak Ka signal will always outrank a strong K band signal on threat mode. That's been my experience anyway.

    That said, I find threat mode more convenient than expert mode because I end up muting it a lot for falses when I have passengers. With the bigger bars I can keep an eye on it to make sure I don't come across an actual K band threat right after muting out a walgreens or a speed sign.

    Escort's always done Laser > Ka > K > X; and tiebreakers amongst the band categories are broken by the strongest signal strength.
