    AFAIK all the Escort models do, also the Bels with the exception of the cheapest ones (i.e. 940, 955). V1 of course. I think Whistlers do too, but don't quote me on that
    because I don't know.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    The V995 does. Then again it costs a little bit more. Also has "Tech Mode", which displays frequency.

    Whistlers allow the user to turn off X band, but the majority of the time, when they encounter X band with X band turned off, they just report the signal as K band.

    The Bel 955 does have a LoX and a NoX sensitivity setting which is programmable under the City Mode Sensitivity category.
