Re: 8.1 mile Ka 34.7 with the Redline
Awesome detection. Awesome RD. Those cops out there don't have a chance!
Re: 8.1 mile Ka 34.7 with the Redline
Obsidian, The longest hit I've had was 4.6 miles on the 14 heading to palmdale. But on your route 8 miles is definetly workable for a RedLine. The thing is a wonder on the flats.
Re: 8.1 mile Ka 34.7 with the Redline
That's pretty awesome detection there. My best is 7 miles with the 3.872. (against stationary, C/O, 34.7)

So figuring 70 mph each, that was about a million miles on the range (don't feel like doing the math but it was good). The Redline dropped the alert a couple of times, but that was due to terrain I suspect (mountains). I was very impressed, and it gave me something to do on a boring drive.
Overall, in nearly 600 miles round trip I got about five CHP hits ... however, once I got to Nevada/Arizona my Redline went crazy, I could not get in my car for even a five minute drive without getting at least one 35.5 or 33.8 hit. Hell, within 30 minutes of crossing into Nevada I got four Ka hits, LOL. Talk about speed trap heaven ... I feel bad for speeders who live in such places. It was the suck.
In summer Nevada Highway Patrol is all 'out there' in the boonies and in larger numbers. After Labor Day, they will pretty much stick to nearby towns, for the duration until Memorial Day (with exceptions for Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Years).
Great report, btw...
Hey, if you're a member of Escort Radar Forum, post that on the Redline section with the sticky for "Long Range" reports. :)
