Driving with max360 Redline 9500ix

[eachaj]

I have had my 9500 ix for 3 years and it has been great, but have been looking for the next best thing. I ordered both a New Redline and Max360 2 weeks ago. Redline came first. While waiting for the backordered max360 I decided to compare the New Redline with my 9500ix. No contest, the Redline impressively beat the 9500ix in all k and ka scenarios I came across. I definitely felt safer from LEO and considered cancelling the 360, but decided to give it a fair chance and wait for its arrival. I have had my 360 for a couple days now and have been comparing it to the new redline. Be advised I am driving with both detectors operating at the same time (just as I did with the 9500ix/redline), and there seems to be no conflict with operation. Impressions so far: The Max 360 has equaled the redline in K band encounters thus far (with the exception of automatic doors -Redline is great at sniffing out those). On the 2 Ka band encounters I have had, the Max360 handily beat the Redline by 2 and 5 seconds in detection time. After all the mediocre reviews I have read I was shocked when it beat redline by 2 seconds at first, then 5 seconds the second time. I will report back with further testing. 9500ix settings: Hwy, Gps off// Redline settings: Hwy, no x band, TSR off, RDR off, BSM off // Max 360 settings: Hwy, no X band, TSR off, SWS on, Gps off

Looking forward to your experiences.

Today k and Ka band performance has been near equivalent with both detectors on speed signs. I had one LEO Ka encounter today, and the 360 narrowly beat the Redline but both gave very ample distance and warning time. As far as size goes, most detectors I've seen are comparable in size to the 9500ix/redline. This 360 is a little wider but not excessive, which you will see in my first "head to head" video I'll upload soon.

Nice videos! Seems the biggest decision you have to make is either arrows or stealthiness.

Yes, well I do like that the red line is more compact. But in my state radar detectors are legal so there's not a problem with needing stealth otherwise.

The problem is see with these "tests" is that the units are ONLY 6-8 inches apart and the Max 360 and its dual antenna will definitely interfere with the Redline, as it would with a V1 or an Stir-O. Testing always requires ONLY one unit ON at a time.
