Local was running C/O Ka band, the Escort 9500ix did a good job picking it up over a few small hills.
Hwy 190, Lottie, LA. Ridiculous speed limit of 55 in conditions that could handle interstate speeds.

My experience with my escort 8500 X50
I got a Instant On alert on my Escort 9500ix from the State Police, I think he hit somebody in his lane on the other side of the barrier. He would have had to go about a 1/2 mile before he could have turned around. If the cement barrier was not there I could have been in trouble had no advanced warning.
This is video from my blackberry Storm. The Escort 9500ci radar/LIDAR system has been excellent, but for some reason the front shifters have started acting up and throwing false alerts. I have a feeling it is only one of the two shifters, but the entire situation is impossible to reproduce at will so it’s very hard to pinpoint the problem. I am taking it to my installer who has been very helpful the whole time, they are going to replace the front heads for me and hopefully this resolves the problem.

Retains normal Distronic features as Parktronic and cruise control with partial K-Band radar detection.
As I get on the toll road I get some info on the CB about a bear at mm 83. Then you will see the Escort 9500ix alert to Ka band 35.5 when I get closer and you will hear the truckers call him out again.
