NEED A QUICK ANSWER!!

[lordhamster]

I'm from Jerzey bro.Get the escort 9500i.With X-band on on the V1 that thing won't ever shut up..X-band is tooooo widely used in NJ for everything which is why NJSP still use it..To keep drivers thinking that ,"Ahhh it's just another friggin false."

So the solution is to filter out X band tones and hope it isn't a cop?

To keep it simple: The 9500I has an un-canny ability to know what is a threat is and what isn’t. It’s like it filters out falses and notifies of LEO's.

I find the V1 hard to read.... All the lights that displays are red
led lights that are all the same color. In time you can train
yourself to recognize the tones but when you have the windows
down or stereo up you can't hear but can only see the display.

If V1 would upgrade their display to something not out of
1990, I'd say V1 all the way.

I'd recommend the 9500i

I owned a 9500i for about two weeks when they first came out. Maybe they changed, but back when I had it... it would "filter" out bands by simple lowering the threshold.

If i was moving at highway speeds, it would simply take a stronger X band signal to set it off...

If I was moving at parking lot speeds, X and K band signals were all but ignored... made for a quiet detector, but I don't think this is filtering. To me, filtering implies choosing which is a legit signal and which is not. The 9500 merely defines a threshold as far as I can tell. (GPS location lockout functions notwithstanding).

I don't think the 9500i has the ability to magically distinguish between a CVS I just passed and a weak X band instant on 2 miles down the road.

I tell ya what.If you want ur eyeballs to keep dancing between driving and the arrows because NJ is polluted with X-band get a V1.If you want to be able to drive and relax and only occasionally need to peek at your rd get the 9500I.Me i have an RX65 and travel between upstate NY and Maryland several times a year and lemme tell ya i like the piece and quiet.When my RX65 goes off,i know 99% of the time it's a real threat.That 1% is the K-band drones thru PA which is why i would go with the Escort so that you can easily see if it's more than one band it's detecting.

I have an rx-65 and a v1, I switch based on the mood I'm in. I love the display on the rx-65 and the nice automute... makes it seem less annoying. However as far as "falses" In my area near Cleveland, there is a road I drive on every day. Both detectors pick up the exact same falses at the exact same time. The only difference is the rx-65 is less annoying about it because it automutes and loses the signal quicker once I've passed the source.

The V1 gives me the advantage of knowing when I've passed the source instantly. I think in general, if I'm in my home area I know what is a false and what isn't. When i'm traveling, if i'm getting any kind of activity on the radar detector, I slow down.

If the V1 has a recent version of their firmware, you might want to consider getting that one. You could probably sell it on Ebay and make a profit. And then you could take the money and buy a brand new V1 or 9500i or whatever you want.

You better get the V1 and you can be in the V1 club. 8)

My preference is the 9500i due to its excellent all-around performance (almost as good as a V1) combined with noticeably less falsing, ease of programming, its great feature set:

- Expert Meter
- Voice Alerts (e.g. multiple signals detected) - - Spec Meter
- Auto Sensitivity (vehicle speed-based sensitivity)
- Auto Volume
- Speed Meter
- Mark locations
- SWS (you will know it isn't a LEO - SWS uses K band and appears as a standard K band alarm on other detectors)

and last, but certainly not least, the 9500i's included SmartCord with a built-in mute button - you don't have to lean forward to mute the detector when it is mounted on the windshield.
There is an optional remote mute accessory for the V1.
