I like having all the input around me and letting me decide how to react versus my RD remaining silent because it thought something was bogus. |
X2, that’s exactly my point about TrueLock, its very rare for it to lock out a real threat just like its very rare for the V1 to J out a real threat. Its not like im suggesting TrueLock everything, there should be some thought when locking things out.
TrueLock would be a useless feature for someone who doesn’t mind the falses, or prefers to get the most amount of information at all times, including 9 K falses at once. There are plenty of other useful features like Auto speed sensitivity but those are also preference too.

I wouldn’t say that V1 sucks, no way, just a bit chatty.
However its physically imposable for a 9500I to get 9 K band alerts at once and show them all, probably isn’t really 9 anyway.
The first question for that scenario is do they use K band in that area, if not no big deal. If so, your comments below with the GPS Mirror are very similar with the 9500I. Or you could just TrueLock the falses if they aren’t around the 24.150MHz of real LEO radar.

Set the speed indicator to mute below a certain speed an voila! no more annoying K-band alerts in that area I'm talking about. If I'm zipping thru the area at a decent pace, the 10 second timer on the V1 will mute it. If I'm putzing along, the Cheetah Mirror mutes it. |
That’s what i love about the V1 & GPS Mirror, it gives you the speed sensitive features of the 9500I and the sensitivity of the V1.
Ideally a V1 and the GPS Mirror would be all end all if it was in one package like the 9500I. Maybe a few hundred dollars cheaper too.
