Redline settings

The only reason to turn X off is when you're in an area where it's not used (well, 95 percent of the USA) and you don't want to listen to all the falses from door openers, traffic light sensors etc.

In OH you'll see X in places so it's best to keep it on unless you KNOW it isn't used where you drive.

Highway mode gives you maximum sensitivity on all bands. Auto applies filtering to X and K bands. Auto NoX applies filtering to K and suppresses alerts on X completely. A "Highway NoX" mode would have been nice, for those who drive on the highway in places where X isn't used but also into places where it is used. You can turn X off in programming mode but that takes a bunch of button presses and is hard to do when driving.

I wish you could unmute the Redline by hitting the mute button twice quickly. Sometimes I will get a call while I am driving so I mute it, and then the call ends and I would like to hear the alert again without having to turn the unit off and then back on.

I've mentioned a desire for this option numerous times along with an adjustable mute level. Should be available at about the same time Valentine rolls out the V3.

Doesn't hitting the power button twice accomplish the same thing?

Yes but the power button is slow to respond... you have to hold it down for a second or so and the power-down and power-up sequences are slow. An immediate "unmute" feature would be nicer. Seems only Whistler has it currently.

I was wondering the same thing and this answers why I could not unmute it...

I use Highway for all situations execpt when driving in the city or urban areas I use AutoNoX because of all the false alerts from door openers. Local leos only use k and ka here. It all depends on where you live.

I'm in Jackson, know every band by city/township. I learned something new today on my nightly escapade. North canton LEOs now have ka and have other cars running K. I didn't catch the frequency but I think they are following the JTPD with BEEs with pop. State troopers now have new K band guns mixed with other cruisers who use X front/rear. I've been hit by so many highway troopers using Q/T X and it's almost unfair. Perry is full of a bunch of jacker smakers using K bands. Don't forget you also have the traffic flow sensors along with the sherrifs up the road using LTIs and ka, we really do live In the worst area.


Local in town, TSR off, POP on, highway or auto. Anything not around the Strip or Westfield gets Highway.

99.9&#37; of the time I have highway on, pop on (picks up that 33.8 very well) learn your frequencies and pray to the escort gods that your filtering works when in SPEC mode because I've lit my redline up like a Christmas tree with the expert display.

Bottom line, when driving in our area, just keep all bands on for your own good bc that one statie will catch you by surprise and you'll be stopped dead in your tracks. I wish that I could run my x50 with Ka off to be a killer on K/X QT. Drive around learn your area and your detector. The radar detector is only as good as the user behind it.
