    Default Redline and Laser hits

    I have been hit, i think, with Laser 2 times recently. 1st time I was just to the left and back of a motorcycle that it seemed the LEO was shooting laser at from the right side of the road. 2nd time I was the first car in a group and he looked to be shooting my car after we came around a bend.

    Both times the Redline was silent. Now to let you know, the Redline is mounted high next to the RVM and I have a black car. Do you think this is why it did not alert?

    Thanks!

    Laser is a very slim beam and LEO's target license plates, headlights, etc. and since your redline is mounted high, it is very unlikely the redline will alert to laser unless it picks up a laser scatter from another car being targeted. I would definitely look into getting a laser jammer.

    Like tpalmer87 says Laser is hard to detect (unlike Radar) also maybe the LEO was not targeting you, and maybe the car next to you?

    it's hard to tell with cars all around you. I see LEO's all day shooting Lidar I also never get alarms, unless the Lidar beam is right on my windshield.

    Getting Laser Alarms on a daily basis is rare (unlike the 34.700 KA band ) alarms I get 4-5 times a day.

    Good luck & drive safe

    Happened to me also. If you watch my video, its not the greatest but you can hear the LI's go off and the RL is silent.

    When I had my LI's installed, the tester was so accurate, the RL never went off! Only sloppy LIDAR shots will result in a laser alert if the detector is mounted up high.

    When the LEO hit my car that night, my Redline was down low and not mounted high. He hit me with a PL3, LI's Jammed, but no noise from the Redline

    My Redline is so good at detecting laser that it goes ahead and alerts to it even though I have the laser detection option turned off...
