    Did anyone else catch the irony of this? Sounds like they're writing tickets just so they can pay overtime.

    Re: Just got a ticket with my redline

    Huummphhhh.... All RD's sleep, all RD's miss shots, and you can get a ticket with any RD. My Redline has been the most reliable out of all the detectors I own. First V1: had 5-6 instances where the...
  5. Re: Sti-R Plus, V1, & LI. Settings plus first ticket in 4 years

    YTCD, Around town in familiar territory I turn the volume on my V1 down so I can just barely hear it, and let the STi-R+ do the heavy lifting. Out on the road, then the V1's volume goes up.

    Absolutely do not turn off X-band in OH or IN. It is alive and well there. After NJ, OH is probably the state with the most X-band. I have encountered X in IN.

    I can't comment on your particular detector because I don't own one, but I will say that trust comes from experience with a particular detector, and experience comes with time--weeks and months. A...

    Re: mounted low better range test what gives?

    It's not tint per se, it's metallic-based tints that cause problems.

    Another way to answer this is by comparing CD reception to radar detector range. Long, straight and flat = long distance reception. Short, curvy and hilly = short reception distance. And, as Cooljay...

    Re: V1 + Virginia + Spectre Elite

    I tested my Redline against a Spectre and even when the Spectre was held up agains the windshield 1" from the Redline, it did not alert. For comparison, my V1 was detected at 115', slightly off axis.

    Re: Quick Escort RedLine Review

    The Redline lost something like 50% of it's sensitivity under all conditions. Weak off-axis false alerts went un-detected. At the time, there were something like 12 different K and X falses on my 12...

    Re: ID'ing radar hits

    You'll also need to learn what radar guns X, K and Ka are used in your area. Assume Ka is always a LEO, K might be a LEO, X is rarely a LEO...unless you live in OH or NJ.

    Having the range of the Redline bit with working rampup would be really nice--I hate getting on the brakes unless it's truly necessary. BS and RDR on my STi-R+ definately increases it's reactivity;...

    Re: Ka "Junk" Signal... how does it work?

    When I had POP enabled on my V1, I got quite a few J-outs, maybe 2-3 a week. One, unfortunately was a LEO sitting with C/O Ka, and the V1 J'd it for the better part of 2 miles and 4-5 traffic...

    Re: POP mode tests......who to trust.

    Just to be clear, the test you are referring to was done using foam, correct?[/QUOTE]

    Yes, with foam. otherwise we'd have needed a 2-4 mile course.

    Re: Redline vs. StiR+

    As far as sensitivity goes, my Redline actually has a slight edge on my STi-R+. Do you have more than one vehicle? If so, a windshield mount would be more useful than an installed unit.

    Re: Do I need these enabled?

    Be aware that Infiniti's (the brand of car) use a laser-based cruise-control system, and that can set off LI's, or anything else that detects laser. Local red light camers often set off my LI's, too.
