    Default Just ordered my Redline

    I got the 9500ix a few weeks ago, but the range wasn't what I was looking for. Range is priority one for me, everything else is secondary.

    In my time with the 9500ix, I came to really appreciate the smart cord, auto volume and brightness, and this is kind of a big one for me-the alert tones. That's the one thing I hated about my old Bel Vector 940. That stupid yelping x-band alert is totally un-called for. Why is the least important alert the most intrusive?

    I am betting this thing is gonna beat the V1 by a significant margin because of the demographic they are targeting with the Redline. And with regard to this being no more than a dash-mounted 9500ci, I think that's great. I think in terms of pure performance i.e. quick trigger, Escort may surprize everyone. I say that because of the way they are marketing this thing as "pure performance." The reason for the quick trigger delay on the 9500 is to prevent falsing.

    I'm hoping that it will be awesome on Ka band. Anything to help with the 35.5 Eagle and Talon is welcome on my windshield. And....if the Redline spanks the V1 regularly with a fair amount of distance on 37.4, its a major bonus.
    If the reviews come back positive, I'm ordering as well.

    I'm waiting for some more reviews, let us know how it works for you when you get it and get some testing time behind it.

    I canceled my order today.I called to check on shipping and they couldn't even find my order even though I had a receipt with a order # on it. I was on the phone for 30 minutes. They checked my name,address,order# and could not find anything...But you better believe they had already charged my Paypal debit card..After no success I had to file a claim with Paypal....I just decided from what I had been reading the Redline was not for me.

    I'm eager to see how the Redline performs as well. I wonder if the new rivalry will be between the Redline and the V1?
