    Default v1 or redline

    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.

    I own both. IMHO the V1 and RL are about the same on X and K bands. The RL is quite a bit better with off-axis 35.5 Ka and slightly better with off-axis 34.7 Ka.

    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

    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.

    Yes it has 2 antennas too, 1 for X band and one for K/KA, but both are facing forward. Where the V1 has one antenna in the front and one in the rear that detects X/K/KA.

    The RedLines duel antennas are for stealth and sensitivity, where the V1's 2 antennas are for the directional arrows and rear additional sensitivity.
