you have highway, city, or auto

Auto is used to dectect if you on the freeway or city with out toggle.

Just wondering how a non gps unit knows the distiction of the two and adjusts.

By learning, I mean mean loking for a mem-tek type answer. How do these things work?

The older and non-gps units filter pairs of X-band signals.

Auto mode works very well on the Redline ... much better than City mode on the 8500 X50 S7 IMO. It's particularly good on the highway if you have many K alerts off to the side of the freeways like we do here.

I was in a shopping center parking lot recently, and noticed my Redline did not alert K at all even though there was a known K door opener about 100 feet away and slightly off to the side. As soon as I changed the mode to highway it alerted. Pretty good filtering. That said, it's no 9500ix by a long shot. It's still noisy on K ... but in highway mode it's almost as bad as a V1 with POP on.

I use Auto almost exclusively unless I'm in the mountains or canyons. As far as AutoNoX, I have X band turned off so no use for that mode.

Exactly! So Auto in today's non GPS Escorts filter by seeing pairs of X & K band signals with a slight delay no mater the speed. Doesn't really know city from Highway.

And my guess is with GPS enabled RD's it will filter X & k band under 50mph, and only X band 51mph and above.
