Hello!

[Moose135]

Hi Folks! New to the forum, been lurking a bit and I see there is lots of good information here. I haven't had a radar detector in 20+ years, but I've been looking again lately. I'm not a real speed demon, I usually stay within 10 of the limit, but it's easy to find myself creeping up from there, and thought it might be handy to have an RD on board. I'm in the Charlotte, NC area, but I drive to NY a few times a year, and I'm looking at a trip out west later this year. Reading the reviews here, I'm leaning towards a Redline, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here.

Welcome to the forum. The Redline is one of the best radar detectors. Feel free to ask questions.

If your travels take you thru Virginia you should be aware that the Troopers have equip. there (RadarDetector "Detectors") that can sniff-out many models & you will get stopped & a Citation in that State.
However,some EscortRadar RD models cannot be sniffed by the RDD & 2 of them are the W/S mounted Redline & the remote mounted STi R+. Keep any model you get w/ a good mounting location to prevent theft or visually seen by Troopers.

RedLine is a great performer and with some of the more advance programming its even better.

I drive from NY to NC and use a RedLine in this case due to RDD's VA uses as RedRocket states below.

Thanks, folks! I do drive through VA a bit, which is part of the reason I'm thinking hard about the RedLine. I've been looking at those Mirror Blend (?) mounts, and tapping into the mirror power so I don't have wires draped all over the place.
