and the mode you run all depends on where you live. x band can be disabled in most locations (but suggested to be enabled when going on a road trip). L and little L are used for the k-band automute programming (search google for this). little l will still alert you but at a lower volume until the signal strength gets higher or it has been picking up the alert for awhile. that is the mode i use
ohh man really? thi sucks becuase my 9500i i bought used thats years old work great. so your saying that my 9500i could be out of tune as well? i dont think it is but man. and what the valentine just goes out of tune by itself? it seems like its working well and picks up farther than my 9500i but i guess like you said i have no idea whether its out of tune or not....
heres the thing, the serial number on the back (544794***) says on thier website that it is the best and most upgraded newest version HOWEVER when i turned it on myself and checked on the detector itself it said 3.872 o i was like wtf!? but i didnt care because it still is a newer version not some older crappy one. so im screwed in finding the crystal tuning thing!
