Guess they dont use KA on the interstates through here! She fires off on the drive to school using 40 and 85. Went off on a little highway near home today and sure enough, again, a trooper came by a...

This forum is dead, nothing to see here, move along :D
But they don't have experience with a two antenna set where one points forward and the other looks back such that they have to play nice together and sort out the direction of the radar. Escort's...
As far as:
Performance - Yes
User friendly - No
Appearance - No
Selectivity (GPS) - No
I think they are way far behind in every other category, not to mention i hate that...
Some of us remember Escort made similar outrageous claims before the Max was released a couple of years ago and we know how it turned out.
4 patents starting 4 years ago and a patent continuation, which is very rare - wonder if it got approved or not or if it is still pending continuation?[/QUOTE]
Until I see how the Max 360 pans out...
I don't want to say you were lucky, but laser and instant on radar are challenges for radar detectors. As extra protection you may want to take CJ's advice and install laser jammers. Also, download...
As of June 1, 2014 X band and VASCAR Plus are no longer used in North Carolina. The NCHP now uses Golden Eagle 35.5 Ka radar, ProLaser III laser and Tracker (similar to VASCAR). K band is still...
PC, notice the first sweep which catches 33.8 is designated "S0". This indicates it is the V1's base sweep in Euro Mode. Sweeps 1 through 6 are what we are allowed to customize. I know, the way...
CJ, have you noticed any diminished range with the new filtering to block out Ka falses?
If Escort ever added arrows they would screw it up. Case in point, just look at the mess they've made of the Max.
Not to nit pick, but your review mentions the V1 as being 15 years old. I bought mine 22 years ago, so I know it's been around for over 20 years. :cool:
I got a ticket with the V1 too, except that it alerted. Problem was, it was instant on. But I digress. Could the trooper have been using quick trigger? The V1 should have picked up an out of tune...
Ohio and NJ are the biggest users of X band. Like somebody else said, K band is alive and well, but being used mostly by county and city cops because the units tend to be cheaper.
I don't think...
Excellent review. Thank you!
As others have said you can try one for thirty days and see for yourself. I tried one and it gave nowhere near the range my old 1.8 V1 gave. Plus it was nosier. I have X band turned off on the V1...
Over sweep the bands on your V1 and it will stomp the Max.
Who's been teaching you?
Entering Euro mode / Custom sweeps automatically disables Ka Guard which in itself provides a huge increase in Ka detection performance. It doesn't just make response...
Thanks. That's good to know. The technical difference from I've read on the site is that the new crystal board is supposed to help keep the detector from drifting out of tune. And the new ones can...
I know about those settings. I thought from your post software changes had been added to help quieten the V1 and that's what I was asking about. But thanks for replying to my question.
That's the more common problem, it doesn't come off easily and makes moving the Max to another car difficult.
Mr. Q, I don't have the very latest version. Would you kindly outline in what ways it is quieter than previous versions? I know about segmentation to eliminate Cobra falses. I turned X band off...
Translation, the new ones are just as noisy as the old ones.[/QUOTE]
Not so. The new versions have added filters for non-speed radar ellimination and its "computer" mode cuts down on falses...
Have both and am getting ready to return the Max. It ain't ready for prime time by a long shot. Although the 9500ix won't have the raw range of a Redline, it's still going to give you plenty of...
No, too buggy
