First Trip with Redline

[Ghz]

Went from Fort Worth to San Antonio (and back) on I35. I was going through the heart of Austin (which is always PACKED with traffic), the Redline displayed a laser hit. I thought...no way, must be LED lights or something. In about another 50 yards, there he was, motorcycle cop with a laser gun. On the way back, the Redline displayed Ka; in about three miles, cop was under a bridge. Outstanding detection on that Ka signal!

My first thought was "Fritter"? Where's he at and doesn't he use a motorcycle?

Wow, 3 miles on Ka?! I've yet to pick up Ka before I saw the patrol car when using my 8500. I would say my best alert is 2/10ths of a mile so far. Didn't realize there could be THAT much of a difference. With X-band I have had a mile and a half. That is the best so far for my 8500. Maybe I should really save up for a Redline.

Yep, I'd say about 3 miles, it was straight line of sight though.

Just don't depend on the Redline for laser too much, I think it does detect laser fairly well but will miss most shots since it's a RD. I do like the KA detection also.

The Redline is noticeably better than the 8500 IMO.

I figure the laser was reflection splatter. The RD was just above the rearview mirror in a GMC Yukon!

I know it's better, but I didn't imagine it was 10 times better.

My favorite detect with Redline.... (caught on tape)

that is pretty sweet that it saved you on laser. Never doubt a laser alert, always treat it as a real one. even though it mostly does you no good you never know, you just might get a lucky save, like you did today.

Now your just exaggerating
