Do your self a favor...go for the 9500ix. You won't be sorry.

Yes and no, in Houston a lot of cars are still using the K band because it blends in with all the "other" frequencies. Those extra alerts might be officers down a street by a grocery store, cops have gotten smarter with where they sit knowing many people now use radar detectors. I also have my V1 set on L mode, it goes off a bit more than I want but it keeps me alert and I know my area so I know when it goes above a certain level it is a cop.
