I have found it alerts simalar distance as the STi but with the different ramp up its hard to tell where the cop is. |
tactical, yours is the latest firmware 9500i, correct?
I agree that, overall, the alert ramp-up could be improved (mine is a 4307, with verified firmware update that addresses the ramp-up issue). It definitely seems to be a step "backwards" from previous Escort products.
Give it a few more weeks, though - despite having been an Escort/Bel guy for most of my driving life, it still took me quite a few weeks to adjust to the 9500i's alerting behavior.
As an "in-city" detector - which is my usage statistic for nearly 90% of the time - I really like it a lot, but I certainly can see how its filtering profile may make it not favored by others, particularly if their "non-LEO signal density" is not quite as bad as mine, here.....
