Yes you are correct it will. Two examples of this are right around where I live and drive. One is at the local PD. They seem to always have a car w/ KA running. My 9500ix has it locked out. Another is an office on our tollways. There is a really good chance of them having a car setting w/ its radar on but no one in it. It takes 3 passes w/ the same signal in the same location to lock out a signal. If you pass by the same location 2 times and it doesn't see it then the signal is unlocked. This autolockout can be tuned on/off though. You can tell its locking a signal out by the spinning GPS icon.

It only locks out a small portion of the band so if its a door then you still pickup the cop if he is there the next day.

There are some parts of this post that are incorrect. First off, the 9500ix does not lockout any Ka band. Secondly, Escort won't tell us what the unlock criteria is, but it's definitely not two passes and it's unlocked.

Sorry about that. I learned something new about my ix.

got the detector today and it has a blue display not red but it says 9500i didn't ask him if he got the upgrade but does this mean that he did?

We made the 9500i with a blue display also. The top of the case shows the model number; 9500i or 9500ix.

The upgrade to the 9500ix is well worth the money in my opinion just for autolearn (and unlearn which is probably more important). Also added is the ability to use the Defender database of red light and speed cameras and popular speed traps.
