Redline / Highway / Beast

[Offshore]

I don't think the Redline does a voice alert that says "multiple signal", if it does someone must have a different Redline than I do..... I have tried every mode and nothing.

Yeah, it does, but with a caveat. If both signals are initially detected then you get "Multiple Signals Detected". If, however it alerts to a single K band, then runs into another with both active, you won't get the voice alert.

You CAN however, place it in Expert mode and visually see the separate signals on the graph.

Yea I see the light now, went back out and got the alert. Thanks for the input.

I've ran with Redline some 13,000+ miles since October and it still amazes me with the range. I've now gotten cocky with it - if the alert signal is below 50%, I don't slow down - but do look carefully for the source. Since I often get multiple mile alerts, it doesn't make sense to prematurely slow down.... but that does take time to get used to, and literally have just started doing this - after the 12k miles logged.

I agree the range is outstanding, I still hit the brakes pretty hard when it alerts. So far I have had more than enough time to adjust my speed, its just a habit.......

Yeah - I know what you mean. That habit was hard to forget. "Brake and look for a LEO 1/8th mile away".

LOL! Thought that was just me! I do the same thing! I kind of slowly coast down to within about 10+ PSL. That arrogance almost bit me in the ass last week!

Well that's a fail then. What if a LEO is running IO in the presence of a false, or his gun is less powerful than the false and you don't pick them up at the same time?

The Redline does a much better job with the Redflex low power "K" band speed camera's (24.1). I have been running the Redline around town just for that purpose, lots and lots of false alert's, it will alert sooner to the false than the V1 and also found a few new one's to boot. So not a good RD for around town, but you have to know that up front. This Redline is for the highway only.

I believe Radar Roy has a video of the Redline picking up the K band Speed Camera.

I believe i made a mistake about Roy having a video about the Redline. I think he was just telling us his results on the K Band Speed Camera.

If the Redline had a reliable method of alerting if it's detecting a LEO and a false at the same time I'd have one right now. My RX-65 in threat (expert) mode only shows one K-band source where my V1 picks up 2 or 3. I'm not sure of the RL is the same way, but since it's still limited to just 2 K band alerts at a time I would imagine so. And there needs to be an audio alert that it detects a new signal. Even the "multiple signals detected" from the 9500ix would be acceptable, but I haven't heard anyone say it does that.

I hated on the RL at first for the lip the buttons are on, but I've forgiven it after seeing videos of it in use that show it doesn't block the display and it's far more practical for mounting against the headliner...

It seems like the glitches are fixed..

But the bogey counter... not even the arrows, just the counter, is the reason I bought a V1 after I got a ticket because I was blinded by a false. I want to like the RL but I can't risk that happening again, and my "engaged to be engaged" girlfriend wouldn't understand why I'd want to hack up my car and run a remote unit and a V1 at the same time. I don't even understand it, when it seems like my reservation with the RL could be fixed in the firmware...

I'm not trying to troll, I'm just frustrated.

My point here is that the Redline has great raw performance, so if you drive the highway much it will make some great saves. As far as the lip its no problem at all, the Redlines not for everyone but it sure works for me.

This ticket was on a highway.

Whether through maliciousness or chance I've seen LEOs set up near falses, so it's a real threat for me. It drives me crazy that my detector doesn't have the best range, but I can't prove I ever got a ticket for lack of range.

I should probably complain to Escort, "Hey, I want to give you guys $500, but..."

People always mention the arrows first, but the counter has been invaluable esp. on routes where I know how many falses there are.

Offshore and DJ, I am sorry to burst your bubbles, but you guys are comparing older V1's to the Redline and ci.

I am positive and GOL test prove the current V1 3.872 is the best hands down.

Can you post the link to the GOL tests with the 3.872 and the Redline? I didn't see it.
