Just some notes and observations.

Radar from a gun can get your speed at approximately a maximum of 3000ft in moving mode and5500ft in stationary mode, how much more sensitivity do you really need? An extra 500, 1000ft, 3000ft? It only takes a few seconds to slow down. Besides the fact that the LEO needs to be able to make out who is speeding and 3000ft would be difficult to see.
If I pick up a real threat with 10 seconds to react on a less "sensitive" RD, and 13 seconds to react with a more "sensitive" RD, does it really matter when it only takes 4 seconds to slow down?

Sensitivity doesn’t equate to not getting a ticket, the ability to communicate a real threat and the driver’s reaction to that threat equates to not getting a ticket. Its ½ driver ½ the RD responsibility to prevent a ticket. The most sensitive RD in the world won’t prevent a ticket if it doesn’t communicate the real threat clearly and the driver doesn’t react correctly.

Just some observations about the updated ramp up:

X & K ramp seams to be almost as good as the X50 but it seems to be a bit more active on fast approaching/threatening radar and ramps up a bit quicker in those cases. Now thats a nice improvement!

1st Radar from a gun can get your speed in the best conditions at approximately a maximum of 3000ft in moving mode, and a maximum 5500ft in stationary mode. In most cases moving radar has about ½ the distance of stationary radar so the reaction from a RD should be different.

There have been reports that when K & KA is moving toward the 9500I it ramps up very quickly (moving mode) and when K & KA is not moving (stationary mode) ramp up seams normal. Allowing a more active ramp up to warn you better against moving/faster threats.

The 9500I seems to be more active in its analyzing radar, the ramp up increases faster when it encounters a fast approaching radar increase (moving radar) over a normal ramp up for (stationary radar).
I think the new ramp up is made to react more sensitively to fast approaching radar to produce a slight edge over a slower ramp up on slow approaching radar.

Active ramp up, now that’s cool!
