The point of city mode is to limit the effect of the so called gas station doors from setting off the alarms. they are as you said different bands on radar that can be used. K and Ka are the 2 most commonly used for doors IIRC.

I suggest you open the manual and do some reading.

i turned off X band because cops around me dont use it
i typically keep mine always on highway mode, and i drive in a sub-urban/highway setting
