Making the Switch to Redline : )

I had to have it shipped to New York as Escort won't ship to Ontario. I can't wait!!!!!!! I feel very comfortable knowing that my new toy is about the best on the road today.

Ridiculous, isn't it. Escort manufactures its detectors in Missisauga, Ontario then ships the detectors to Ohio and won't ship back to Ontario.

It shows the true hypocrisy of our idiotic Provincial Gov't. We're heading down for a weekend away anyway, so I had it shipped to the hotel. Ready for pickup. I'm taking the Redline right away (hardwired sti already, so I'll just swap RD's) and I'll be mobile. I'm mailing the box back to my house via USPS. Don't want to give Customs any reason to search my car. On our last trip to New York, I had probably the best Ka save anywhere. Pegged a NYSP in pitch black, on the 190 Southbound lanes. That was with the STi I hear the Redline is just as good if not better than the STi on Ka as well. Jerry, do you know what frequency the OPP run their K band guns? I might set it to spec mode to play around with them.

All K band guns are the same frequency, regardless of the manufacturer. The OPP use Decatur Genesis units--if you're interested in knowing their weapon of choice. NYSP use Stalker 34.7 Ka.

HO HO HO! I'm getting more excited by the day! Old Escort is en-route back to the factory in Ohio. I can't wait to unleash this beast on the Ontario highways.

I live in Ontario, Canada. I've had an STi Driver since last summer. Ka performance on the STi is simply awesome. K band, I don't like at all. The OPP use exclusively K band on the 400 series highways. Too many close calls with lack of detection from the STi driver. Situational awareness is what really helps me out. I love the STi on Ka, but the Redline is more for me with the amount of highway driving I do. Local LEO's use a combination of K and Ka, so it's a crapshoot of what I end up getting tagged with. I've noticed it's mostly K with locals though. I've got the STi sold to a buddy. Ordered the Redline this afternoon. Can't wait to get going with it!

Do you know which provinces in Canada where RD are illegal?

Here's an easier answer, the only provinces where RD's are legal are BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Everywhere else, there illegal.
