Yes, agreed. The X50 is a joke. Spend another $50 - $100 and get a real detector.
IMHO, Cobra is flushing itself down the proverbial toilet. Aside from their CB radios (if they are even still any good), what product has Cobra released in the last 5 years that is worth its weight in pennies???
The 9500i lockout feature is seriously bad ju-ju for anyone who uses it. You are asking for a ticket from a smart LEO who knows peeps are doing that and will hide out next to the Wal-Mart door opener K-band blaster.
The problem with the 9500 is that it can't count. Come to think of it, I think the V1 is the only detector which can process simple math.
I'm saying the logic behind the false alarm blocking is faulty, hence I agree with The Stig's comments.
