nine_c1, wouldn't be safe to say running a V1 with either a CI, or STI-R, would interfere with both remotes? Especially considering a RDD can detect a V1 at 900+ feet as you said.

I've see comments on here saying that a V1 wouldn't interfere with the remotes, but even with the metal & engine between the remotes and a windshield RD your still only talking about a distance of 4-5 feet.

I think it's possible for a V1 inside the car cabin to interfere with an M3 remote, but overall, a relatively safe combination to run. Reason being is that there is no direct path for emissions from the V1 to the M3's receiver. Any signal emitted from the V1 has to strike an object in front of the vehicle and reflect back into the M3's horn. LO emissions are fairly weak and that strength gets cut down in mutliples considering only a fraction of the power is reflected off objects in front. So I would say the risk is negligable unless your running close behind another vehicle.

Running both detectors inside the cabin is another story. There are side lobes in the radiation pattern of the antennas that cover the full 180 degrees (or 360 degrees in the case of the V1) and the windshield itself acts as a reflector.

I just made a trip from Houston Texas to Upstate New York two weeks ago. Me and the RedLine made it out of Texas in one piece (I thought I saw Fritter on his bicycle).

Ran all the way across Louisiana and Mississipi, then up through Alabama and the corner of Georgia into Tennessee........then all the way across Virginia and then up through West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania and finally back into New York.

The RedLine did great except on two occasions where it could not be faulted. One Lidar trap in Alabama that was a hum-dinger. Two apparent miscreants on an overpass (one sitting in a chair!

) and I figured the one had something in his hand he might be thinking of dropping onto the next car. So I speed up to get past (85 in a 65)..........only to find about 8 Alabama State Cruisers sitting on the other side, 5 of them with customers. I'd of been toast but for other countermeasures I was running at the time. More on that later......

The other let down was in PA where I got zapped doing 15 over on I-81. Again, my alternate countermeasures kicked in to save my butt. Again, no fault of the RedLine as I had begun ignoring ALL K-band alerts after encountering numerous K-Band drones on I-81 in PA. For this reason, I have PA as the worst state for RD users. They put so many drones up that you just give up on reacting to your RD when it goes off. Funny, both PA and NJ use the cheapest most basic radars, and yet they find a way to be among the most effective at sniping speeders.
