    Default Which undetectable detector to get?

    I'm not getting rid of my V1, i'm just going to get another undetectable RD just incase.
    I have my STI - R, but i'd like a dash mounted one. I don't see any reason to get a STI Driver because A) i already had one and know what it's like and B) because my STI R and STI D would probably be pretty similar.

    I really want the redline, but if it's rampup is as bad as my 9500i was, i'd probably end up chucking it. But i've seen a lot of videos of it's great range, but i've also seen a lot of videos of it's bad rampup.

    What do we think boys and girls?

    Escort Redline. From what I've read, K band rampup is ok but Ka band rampup is horrible.

    K band is fine, Ka needs work, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. Not with the range I'm getting.

    RL is a very strong RD. Running it with my STi-R, they are neck and neck, but to be honest I cannot live without my arrows and rear antenna.

    The difference in range between the RL and V1 is negligible IMHO. The RL's ability to see around curves and over hills is nice but my STi-R already fills that role.

    Just my two cents.

    Well you have the Sti-R, don't want the Sti driver, don't want the Redline because of ramp up. What's left to choose from?

    Id have to say get the Redline and run it in Escorts version of threat mode and turn automute on. This gives you the good threat mode while you can run spec on the STi-r, the automute kills the rampup problem since the STi-rs rampup is good you can listen to that, and you can safely run the STi segmented without worrying about out of tune guns or those weird stalkers.

    I wouldnt let a bad rampup keep me from buying maybe the best windshield mounted detector on the market. I tolerate it but better a bad ramp up than no warning at all. You already have an M3 detector so you know about the off-axis performance. No RD can touch it for off-axis radar detection.

    Heard this was the best on the market...

    The Cobra ESD-6060 Laser/Radar detector



    Undetectable by VG2 and the Spectre!!!

    /end sarcasm.

    On the real I'd go with the Redline if you have the money, but since many LEO's run C/O around you on the highways it might get annoying as hell. Really sucks VA still bans RD's.

    This was what I was kinda thinking. Not sure how many detectors you need in one car before it turns into overkill, I run my primary (V1) and my Redline as a backup JIC my V1 breaks down for some odd reason or I want to give my V1 a break.
