    Default Tested: Escort RedLine vs. Valentine One

    Which radar detector is the long-range champ?

    Escort RedLine versus Valentine One: Comparison Test and Review.

    I posted this over in the Escort section as well.

    Not sure how many go back and forth reading Escort & V1 threads. So I figured I would posted it over here, for those who may not read it over there.

    Craig Peterson is not a reliable source of information. From what I read, he even tried to sabotage a GOL RD test.

    Regardless of that, it looks like a pretty good test, and the results were pretty close on X and K band.

    We'll have to wait until GOL does their test, but this is the only test I've seen like this since the Redline came out. Figured some may want to read it.

    I don't trust Craig Peterson. The testing also doesn't mention what version of V1 it was or how either detector was configured.

    I'll wait for GOL thanks!

    Actually, it said in the beginning that the V1s used were a 3.864 and a 3.872. Still, Peterson has always hated on the V1.

    Ah, it did didn't it? I missed that. The article reads like an advertisement for the Redline so I had a hard time taking it seriously.

    X band is used in more than 2 states! Do not be fooled! Check this forum first before trusting that guy!

    This is GOL's house and all, but if you watch that video, I doubt that a saboteur would be so daft as to include a box with his name on it. Make of that what you will.

    OP, thanks for the link; I'm definitely curious as to the performance delta between the two. Have been considering selling my V1 to snag a Redline, but I've yet to see a solid opinion on whether one is significantly better performance-wise than the other.

    Wish we could get Michael B. to do some laboratory testing and provide dBm numbers for the Redline.
