    Default Running V1 and Redline together for 24 hours Straight.

    Well, more like 21 hours since I won't be driving the PSL. Thoughts? Concerns? I'm going from CT to FL. I've never ran two RD's at the same time, nor have I ever ran a RD for this long, ever. Has anyone ever done this? I know the theory is to not run two at the same time, however, I know a lot of people here run these two together on a daily basis.

    If you are going to be running two detectors at the same time, be sure to have them as far apart from each other as possible. The Redline won't interfere with the V1 at all but the V1 may possibly interfere with the Redline. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

    I run my V1 and Redline side by side on my visor, and have had no apparent indications of interference on either.

    If anything, the V1 may affect the Redline, but even so, the Redline beats the V1 on most encounters. Sometimes the V1 "wins", but in any case, you'll get plenty of warning from one unit or the other! They complement each other well. Run the Redline in spec mode so you can get the Ka frequencies, and use the V1 for arrows.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    you should be fine....
    I run two all the tiem. No apparent issues...
    Maybe use a A/C vent to cool the detectors...they will get warn like any piece of electronic equipment...

    Just wondering, is there actually any evidence that a distance of 2-3 feet apart produces less interference than 6 inches apart? It just seems hard to believe that it would do anything at all. I plan on running 2 detectors for a while, so i just wanted to know if there is anything that has been demonstrated to show the distance between them matters....

    Glad to hear a lot of people run the v1 and redline together without any noted problems.

    I've never seen any hard proof for them having a difference but, I've been this is what I've been informed of in that past.

    There has been alot written on this topic. From my understaning Two M3 based units ( non-leaking units) should be at least 3" apart. However, the V1 will leak so I would separate the units as much as possible. I have not seen any tests that show the exact distance But we do know that there will be an affect on the Redline. Many forum members due use the Redline and V1 so the interference does not affect performance to the point that they will not compliment each other. I seem to remember a GOL test that showed how two RD's interfere, you might want to check it out. I'll see if I can find it.

    I have a similar set up with one on each side of the mirror. And I agree with this about performance. You could give your V1 a break in VA since there could be a spectre in use

    The attached link shows the affect that operating the 9500ci and V1 at the same time has on the responsiveness of the 9500ci. Look at the last set of test measurements.

    Hope this helps.
