the signal becomes very strong. When the signal stre n g t h
i n c reases, two additional beeps are provided. In City 1
Mode, only the X band sensitivity is lowered. In City 2 Mode,
X-band is not detected.

Some towns/small cities
may still be using X band radar.

Quiet feature. City Modes do not change the audio alert for
laser or VG-2.
