    Default Radar detector for high way driving only

    I am looking for a highway only radar detector. I currently have a 9500ix which I use in the city and love but where I live ( a little north of Detroit) I want a highway only detector also. The terrain is lots of trees and straights with some curves. From what I can tell we only use K and Ka. I want to get the Redline but I still keep going back to the V1. Anyone have any suggestions for a highway only Detector. Laser is not used very much here.

    New V1 is matching or better the RL in constant-on. No contest for instant-on as the new V1 eules.

    The V1 is continually (or every ~3 yrs as recent improvements suggest) being upgraded via software upgrades/fixes.

    You might want to look at the V1 but search it out both are good and you will see that the RL is good on hilly,curves and off-axis.

    Just to let you know (I'm in Bloomfield Hills & Sterling Heights) Laser IS used here, definitely. What city are you from exactly?

    Clinton Township, I travel to Wayne State and use my 9500ix for that. I want to use this high way for traveling to Grand Rapids and such. I really have not noticed much laser in our area.

    ^Really? Have you tested it against the Redline?

    OP, the Redline and V1 are both suitable highway detectors. They'll be close on straight roads, but the Redline will excel around curves.
