Redline off-axis and Expert Meter

[OpenRoad]

Not a save - but great data back from Redline:

Redline off-axis and Expert Meter are a great combo - at least they were this morning. I drive every morning through a school zone that now sports a new K-band speed sign. So each morning as I approach the street with the school (I have to turn left onto the street with the K-band sign and school zone), I normally get the K-band alert about a half block before reaching the intersection. The K-band sign is down the adjacent street, about 100 feet left of the intersection. This morning was no exception, alerts as usual in the same spot, but this time I see two signals on the Redine. "Must be a cop in front of the school", I say to myself. Sure enough, as I got to the stop sign and look to my right, I can see the local city cop running K-band, parked snugly between two cars. Anyone with a lesser detector would write the alert off to the speed sign. Now, if it would only issue the "Multiple Signals Detected" voice alert every time it encountered more than one signal - would be great.

Great post on the redline, sounds like the redline is an exceptional detector. Do you get many false alerts with it in your area of driving?

For K-band, most of them are false alerts, however it's pretty easy to figure out if a LEO is running K-band, as the LEOs signal is usually much stronger and certainly long lasting as you drive down a street. The K falses in store fronts are fleeting, but a stronger, longer lived alert is most certainly a LEO. I used SPEC mode for awhile but got lazy. For me, K-band is really for amusement only as I don't speed in-town, and the Highway Patrols here all use Ka on the interstate, which is why I got the Redline in the first place.
