Fortunately I wasn't going that fast and Waze alerted me so I slowed down even more so no harm done. Also doesn't seem as good as the old 9500ix at filtering false K alerts so I might just turn off K band detection. Another major day of driving on Thursday so we'll see how that goes.
If you are within you return period and aren't happy still, I would recommend an Escort brand. I also used to have the 9500 and now the Passport Max which is now a few years old.
I am going to give it more time before considering a return and hope it isn't necessary to do so. If I return it I'd likely just go back to the 9500 I already have. I definitely like the size, weight and price of the Uniden so hoping that one encounter yesterday was not the norm and it delivers the range I expect.
