Redline POS

[Digital Dude]

After using my Redline w/Live for nearly 2-months I can say its pretty darn good. Picked up my first laser hit last week on the freeway and I was shocked! My unit is wrapped in white rubbery kitchen drawer liner to help with the 110+ temps we have around this time of year. Never did find the laser source but still. Sure, I'd rather have the STiR+ but I'd also prefer an 18-year old redhead cheerleader. Unfortunately, both are out of my budget.

I bet that $500 budget you allotted yourself for the redline could have bought you a night with an 18 year old redhead cheerleader. Just sayin'.

I see "sleeping beauty" is still making her customers happy years later lol

I've noticed the V1 reaction time slows down on the older models when you modify any of the settings, possibly sloppy programmers didn't design the checking methods very well and it checks each time an alert is received to see what the user preferences are, just a theory...annnddd...Are you timing these with a human controlled stopwatch? Keep in mind a 3.872 is not that new, try the 3.892 and higher as it has been repeatedly stated on this forum that it seems to perform a LOT better than these older units on both K and KA band on both range and response time, not to mention THEY ARE STILL BEING SOLD . As far as the KA guard off, on the interstate I'd rather have the control to turn it off in MY hands and maybe slow down a few MPH for a "false" from a cobra user, than to get a ticket from a bear popping every single car with quick I/O and not set off my $500+ belscort detector....I had a 9500IX and when I timed it, it literally took over two whole seconds to alert to K band(see my old posts)...maybe I had a defective unit, I dunno...but I sent that sucker back for a newer V1 as I'd rather live with the two or three door openers on my 30 min drive to work reminding me that my unit is working, rather than hear nothing until the officer swaps over to C/O for tracking history after he decides to pull me over.

The V1 tested here was a 3.892 version.

Yep.......a human timer.......digital stop watch in one hand and the radar remote in the other. Using two digital timers I found that the left hand / right hand variance is usually under 20 milliseconds.

I'm all for options, and the ability to turn Ka Guard off on the V1 is an option I'd rather have than not. The Ka falsing can become numbing, so I reserved it's use for those open highway runs where I was looking to make serious time.

All of the Escorts I've tested are relatively slow in the response department, but have kept it under 1 second in responding to a radar shot unless running in POP mode. With POP on, response to anything other than 33.8 can easily exceed 1 full second.

My apologies, for some reason I thought this was a 3.872 from what another poster said about pop being off, soooo in that case....very interesting....and a bit alarming at that....think I'm going to turn ka guard off on my V1 and live with the falses :X Would you mind doing a vid with KA Guard off to see if the RX65 sets off the V1 at that distance? Thank you for these vids! They are eye opening!! I would like to see POP _ON_ and KA Guard _OFF_ to see if you could sneak a 34.7 or 35.5 Q/T by on it or if pop still has too much of a slowing effect on the V1 for guard off to be effective...
