I was on the net, came across a test redline vs v1. The results where redline beat vw all way around. Is this true.
Does redline have 2 antanna like v1

Yes. The Redline is more sensitive than the V1 against all radar bands.
No. It only has a front antenna.Quote:

The RL does have two antennas, but they are both forward facing. One is for X band, and the other is for K and Ka band.
The dual antenna setup is probably part of the Spectre immunity design.

I've owned both. The only reasons I sold my V1 is because 1. I live in VA. 2. Spectre. I run a RL now and it's a top notch RD. They're both awesome RDs. I miss the V1 arrows but the RL has better band distinctions, display and voice alerts. So you give a little to get a little. You can't really go wrong with either except if you need immunity from the Spectre. I'm still waiting on some flat highways to see what the RL will do with CO. I'm going to Miami here in a couple of weeks and I guess I'll find out then. -Va
Search the forum, this has been discussed A LOT already
It depends.
Where do you live? If in a province in Canada where RDs are illegal or in VA (or if you travel here frequently), then probably a Redline as they can't be detected.
Do you drive mostly highways, or just around town?
I also own both now, but only had the Redline for a day so can't post a good comparison of the 2 yet. The V1 has not let down in the 2 years I have owned it though.
Amen, I feel like Im going to puke if I hear this topic brought up again.Quote:

What is axis mean stand for? Or do

I own both and I would choose the V1.
And what's your reasoning behind this statement?Quote:

It really depends on your area, the threats, and the type of roads you drive. I love my V1, but just got the redline. I am extremely impressed with the Redline on 35.5 Ka. I travel on back roads a lot that are curvy and hilly with 35.5 Ka the primary threat. My V1 would give barely give me enough notice to slow down. I can't believe how sensitive the Redline is for Ka 35.5. I'm picking up a signal and expecting to run into the LEO almost immediately but I'm getting a much longer warning.
For K band, I haven't noticed much of a difference. I do miss the arrows on the V1, but I'll be running the V1 on the highway and I think the arrows help more there then in town.
Same for me. I travel isolated single lane highways so I want the most Ka sensitivity as possible. That's why I chose the Redline when upgrading from my S7 8500. I couldn't care less about arrows.Quote:

I own both. For around town driving I use the v1 becuase of the easy bogey counter and arrows. On the highway I use the Redline. Overall I think i like the v1 better but the freq display and easier to see display of bands is cool for the Redline. I'm just waiting for the combination of the 2 to come out. I would vote v1 if I were you.
I see that he went with the V1 you can't go wrong with either.
