    Default k band lockout

    thought ide share what happened the day using the 9500ci. First off' i had some issue with the control module's volume button having to be pushed extremely hard for it to function.
    Sent it in for repair, but guesse what, of course , it got lost along the way. Wether at Escort or in the mail who knows , having no tracking info i'm sh*t out of luck. My fault i know,but i'de say something was fishy. Talking to a customer service person at Escort with a somewhat sarcastic attitude in the way he talked to me, did me no good. But this is another issue.

    Moving on, still using the 9500ci without anyway to control it , i was driving along with a leo , with constant on k band on in his cruiser one car ahead of me.
    I ended up following him for about 3 or 4 miles, and wouldn't you know it, through one of my locked out areas,a large strip mall/plaza that has several k band falses locked out, and sure enough it silenced his k band as we went through this area.

    This is quite unnerving as i travel this route alot, and my chances of encountering this leo in this area again are good. When i get my new $80.00 contro,l i can tell you i will be unlocking all curently locked out location and starting over, using it very sparingly,if at all, manualy.

    sorry about the control module loss, that sucks.

    Yes this can happen, in my sticky below is a good reference as to what TrueLock is doing and how to use it in Low/High Risk areas.
    You can still utilize this feature, but like you said you may want to use it manually and sparingly.
