Redline Frequency Display

[COGnosticator]

I have been using radar detectors since they came out, only paying attention as to the type of alert.

I have an 8500X50 and a Bel RX65 I have been using for a few years.

I got my Redline yesterday and I have set it up to display the band/frequency. Is there a tutorial somewhere as how to use this or a list of know frequencies. I pass the same stores every morning and get a K band and I just write it off as being the door opener for that store. I noticed this morning that each store has a different frequency. Can I find a list of the frequencies that are used by the local LEO's or is a learning experience where I may need to write down the frequency I encounter.

A 60 year old newbie trying to learn something new and how to get the most out of this RD.

This will be my motorcycle RD and the RX65 will go in the truck.

Thanks for the information

On the K band freq, are there known freq like the ka. I wonder if there is any way to know if it is a auto door opener, vs a real threat?

Not really. K band is very small, only 200 MHz wide, but generally, LEO radar is more centered in the K band, like 24.125 - 24.175 and false alerts like door openers can literally be anywhere in the K band. Now, there are many reports of LEO radar outside of that range, so don't take that as rule by any means.

There's no hard and fast rule for K band frequencies. Anything can be anywhere in the K band. But, if you take note of the frequencies you see as you drive around, you'll get to "know" the frequencies of the falses you commonly encounter and can use them as sort of a guide... if you pass by a CVS that usually shows 24.110-120 and suddenly you're getting 24.150-160 in that spot, that's a possible sign of a threat hiding amongst the door openers.

In case you didn't know, your X50 and RX65 also have the frequency display option. "Spec" display on the X50 and "Tech" display on the RX65.

Thanks for the info. Yes I knew that had that capability but until I got on this forum and started seeing references to freq, I never really thought about seeing what they were as I didn't know, and now I have an idea anyway.

Thanks everyone

Personally I use the frequency display over the threat display. I want to know the frequency of the alert or threat, but this is personal preference.

You can also try using Expert meter mode on the RedLine. Expert meter will show you multiple signals and their individual signal strengths. For instance, police have K band radar set up near a known K false alert location. Expert meter will show 2 separate vertical lines next to "K" on the display. Each line is a separate signal strength, the bigger the line, the stronger the signal. You will also get the voice announcement "multiple signals detected" which really gets your attention.

i've picked up 24.166 and 24.172 k-band door openers...so it's really a tossup to whether its real or false. so it would probably be best to just slow down til it passes for K-band.

If you don't want the frequency, than use the threat display it is very useful.
