9500i Ka band detection! WOW...

[BLACKODDY]

So to confirm, escorts do not have a ramp up similar to a v1? Or it varies from case to case?

See for yourself:

Thanks for sharing. V1 detected the K band way before that stop sign...

Yep, the V1 averages about a 15% advantage on K band over the 9500ix from my testing. That means slightly better range and noticeably more falsing.

is there any way that the rampup can be fixed? is there a software upgrade / firmware upgrade to fix this? its very frustrating when it seems like you are being hit with full blast I/O all of a sudden. I bought mine from bestbuy about a month ago so its probably an old firmware version with crappy rampup. what do you think?

We've begged and begged but as usual Escort refuses to acknowledge the problem.

Wow, im surprised at how similar the ramp ups were. Even the V1 stuttered a bit, not as bad as the 9500I but still. I guess the ramp up isn’t as bad as we thought. Just ramps up to full faster.

In areas that are more dense with traffic & buildings the ramp up can be more sporadic. But then again it’s not the end of the world having a ramp up like that on a GPS enabled RD.

They fail to acknowledge alot of problems (Truelock, QT, etc.)

There is a USB update, but how much better is the question.

I did the Firmware upgrade on a 9500i and it made the thing useable.
Having been spoiled with over a decade of V-1 'partnership' the original-issue 9500i seemed psychotic. K-band response was inconsistant and the ramping issue unbelievably annoying.
The upgrade also made it possible to MarkLocation during an alert. TrueLock is still useless on K-band. QT is not much of an issue for us, as a rural ambush is generally LIDAR.

My S7 X50 (Escort product) has good ramp up. If the V1's ramp up is a 10 the S7's is an 8 or 9 for sure.

My M4 9500ix is a 5 or 6.

That 9500i is terribly bouncy on your windshield.
