    Everyone's mentioned x band falsing uses verizon phones, I'm assuming this must be something to do with how CDMA works and/or the frequencies used for the phones. I suspect sprint pcs phones probably false as well. X band sucks, I don't know why any law enforcement office would even use X band -- 1) all detectors detect it, it's not like cops know you're turning x band off deliberately, and what the hell would be the point of catching the small percentage of drivers that have X band turned off? and
    2) it sucks, much better equipment is available.

    I leave x band turned off, it's as worthless as S-band

    Default xband

    xband (or any band, for that matter) is only as good as the operator. xband can be pretty deadly, too. just ask the folks in states that have xband still.

    I'm in NJ and have to leave on X-band. I've always had Moto phones and Bel/Escort detectors with no interference whatsoever.

    North Carolina's State Troopers normally run Ka, but they also run X band, the K55 units.

    New Jersey, Ohio, and North Carolina are the three big X band states on the East coast. If you travel in these states I suggest you ditch your cell phone and leave X band enabled.
