Redline / Highway / Beast

[Offshore]

Well after playing around with the three modes "Spec", "Expert",and "Standard Meter", I found that the Expert voice alert "multiple signals" is pretty worthless. I have gone back to the standard meter option, I much perfer the way V1 does the mutiple threats it just makes sence. Escort has made a very good RD with the Redline but some of the features are strange.

I think Escort needs to do a better job giving you good information, they have figured out the sensitivity part of it, but have some work to do getting good information to the driver.

The only display I use on my Escort products is spec display, which I prefer over all other displays. I'd even choose spec display over the V1's arrows. Knowing the frequency is huge in my book.

That's because your running the V1 next to it, no one does a better job than V1 on the multiple alerts with the bogey counter the Escort solution to that problem is lacking.

Well from my experience with Expert mode Escort is doing just that, giving good information.
Its not 5 different things at once it simplifies what you are seeing/hearing. 2 times i have gotten multiple frequency’s and the was a LEO near a false lock out, it certainly got my attention.

I don't think so. Escort's spec mode does kind of the same thing. If I start tracking a second contact, the frequency displayed will jump back and forth between the two different frequencies. Maybe my opinion is skewed, because I have never had a V1 with a properly working bogey counter that didn't ghost.

Well I have not had a ghosting problem on the highway which is where I use the V1 anyway, all Im saying is the V1 gives me better all around awarness than the Redline. The Redline shines on long distance alerts and will beat the V1 80% of the time but you dont know if they are in front of you or behind. With the Redline even in Expert mode tracking mutiple signals the screen is very hard to see so I think they need to incorperate a tone when a new signal is encountered, your CI might be setup so that the display is easy to see, but mounting the Redline by the RV makes the screen very hard to see in the exspert mode the little lines are tiny.
