Real threat with partial TrueLock interference

[nyjason13]

So I was driving through town when I came across a 24.172 K band alert. I slowed down and kept driving. However, there is a drug store that is TrueLocked out a little bit up the road. So I guess the frequency of the LEO fell into the range of the TrueLock frequency of the door of the store. (The store wasn't even in view of me yet, though.) But shortly after, the alert came back and gave me a full alert. I guess within that period the frequency fell into the TrueLock and blocked it out It came back though. Would've been better if it didnt get partially locked out.

I have to say though, it was VERY good distance to pick up in my opinion. I'd say well over 1/3 mile around a bend. He was way far around the bend in motion approaching me at almost a 90 degree angle. Can't argue with that, especially from a 9500ix.

Most of the time 9500ix is decent on off-axis radar hits however, when you get your V1, you will notice a difference between the two (the V1 having a considerable advantage) except for 35.5 GHz Ka. When I tested my 3.812 vs my 9500ix, the V1 had as much as 20% advantage on around the bend and over the hill K and that's vs my Bushnell which is a lower power gun, therefore harder to detect.

The 9500ix has great on axis detection but sometimes you can get screwed by tunnel vision. This was the case one day vs severe off axis 34.7 Ka while cresting a steep hill.

Had that same exact problem before... wonder what thats all about

It's called M4.

If I wasn't broke, I'd have a V1 by now

I am in a similar situation but I'm thinking of going to an ix from a V1.

Yes the M4 design has tunnel vision for off axis falses, but with real immanent threats it has no problems from my experience.

If the threat is ahead of you but off axis the 9500 responds with enough warning. Its when its not a immanent threat where the radar is more than 35 degrees off axis is when the alert distance isn’t so good. But there it doesn’t mater in most cases because the LEO is ether not monitoring speed or if he is his read out is going to show you much slower than you are.

sounds like TrueLock did well with a difficult situation, and is a great example of why a quiet RD is so important and to pay attention to every alert the 9500ix gives.

This situation is not the reason I sold my 9500ix. In fact, I was impressed.

I just think I'd prefer the more verbose nature of the V1.

You sold your 9500ix? How did you have the above encounter with out one?

I sold it yesterday. The encounter happened last week
