    Default Re: Redline with BS 2,5,8 did not pick up strong Ka signal.

    Possible, but very improbable. Radar guns are regularly calibrated. This is one of the first things a lawyer will ask for in court when fighting a ticket, the gun's calibration record. The gun this would have to be centers at 33.800GHz. 33.6xx places it at over 100MHz outside of calibration which is beyond what the gun manufacturer recommends.

    The OP saying that they never saw the LEO, and that neither never went to full alert, sounds like someone nearby had a leaky detector. They cause alerts at about 33.7GHz and below.

    Whenever two detectors are being used together there is a potential for interference. Due to it's electronically stealth design, RedLine shouldnt effect other detectors but it will still be effected by others. Some, like CJRadar above, are aware of this, accept the possibility and have "tuned" their setup to minimize it.

    Its a RedLine and V1, really not an issue or why he got the false he did.
    The V1 can affect the RL dramatically. Running two RDs together can be and IS an issue.

    Sure, it can. But so far with BS & RDR as well as the V1C i have seen no negative performance/interference like i did when not using BS & RDR, just fantastic range and waiting to see the cop.

    There can be interference, but with the right settings and distance it has not really been an issue. But to be safe, most users should only be running 1 RD.

    Besides the fact that OP was running dual radar and source could be a false (i.e. cobra) I've always recommended the following settings:

    2,3,5,6,8,9 ON all others off

    KA 2/3 for 33.8, 5/6 for 34.7 and 8/9 for 35.5 ON -- This allows for frequency drift.

    That was definitely a false from a Cobra. The V1 default 33.8 sweep (if you were using custom sweeps) is a little bit wider than segment 2 on the Redline, and that is why the V1 picked up the signal and the Redline did not. I can duplicate this very same scenario with a Cobra mounted in an an Audi in a nearby driveway. And oddly enough, the frequency was EXACTLY the same.

    running unneccesary sweeps wit those band segments. all you need is 2/5/8 on the rest off. I haven't had any issues through months of redline use and the rx65/pro300 usa mode before this also running the 2/5/8. if you run all the segments you listed, you will lose performance and get a lot of falsing.
