HIGHWAY VS CITY MODE Radar detectors operate with two sensitivity levels. These levels determine the types of signals and signal ranges (bands) detected. Highway mode is the most sensitive level while City mode is the least sensitive. If the X band is left on in City mode, a radar detector can pick up many X band signals (such as garage door openers) that generate false alerts. The DFR7 turns off the X band for City mode.
