Description

 

The Escort RedLine Radar Detector is bad - as in, the "baddest" radar detector to hit the road in years. Escort engineers created the most sensitive radar/laser detector that provides the longest range. The dual-antennae design means it maximizes performance by band, giving you incredible range - for times when that extra few seconds of warning makes all the difference. Wrapped in a durable, magnesium case, the RedLine is also completely undetectable.

 

Dual Antennae Design
Redline's unique dual antennae system results in the greatest possible range for all radar signals, including “POP” and off-axis signals.

 

Patented Digital Signal Processing
AutoMode analyzes incoming signals and rejects false alarms.

 

Next Generation Laser Detection
Multiple laser sensors will detect even the tiniest amount of laser light.

 

Exclusive TotalShield Technology
TotalShield means stealth - the RedLine can't be detected by radar detector detectors.

 

Easy-To-Use Options and Controls
RedLine comes preset by the factory, or you can customize up to 8 features to your driving style.

 

Clear Digital Voice Alerts
Easy-to-understand digital voice alerts let you keep your eyes on the road.

 

High Definition Text Display
Bright and easy-to-read from any angle.

 

Performance Options
Levels of sensitivity include Auto NoX (filted but without X-Band), Auto (filtered mode), and Highway (full sensitivity).

 

Mute and AutoMute
During an alert, the AutoMute feature will automatically reduce the noise level. You can also press the mute button on the included SmartCord or on the detected to quite the alarm.

 

Brightness Control with Full Dark Mode
Who turned out the lights? You did, if you put the detector in full dark mode. Or choose from four levels of brightness.

Feature rich, and I love that I can customize it how I want it to work. Have had it for 4 days and covered 1400 miles of road (I drive for a living). So far so good. Today I was on a wide open stretch of interstate. No vehicles in front of me for miles. Luckily the hidden highway patrol officer was also clocking traffic from the other way (which was also sparse). The officer was on and off with the radar as fast as he was clocking people. Got a couple second signal when I was about .75 miles away from the officer. Another about .25 miles away. Another almost right on top of him and then the detector went full alert as he clocked me going by (he was hidden in mesquite trees). The guy speeding past me as I passed the officer got pulled over right in front of me after the officer caught up to us. In town it's much quieter than I would have expected (on HIGHWAY mode!). I've noted numerous times, in and out of towns, how it always alerts to law enforcement before they or I am around a corner in line with them. A handful of times it's alerted me to law enforcement who were traveling toward me, but I couldn't see them behind other vehicles. So far the furthest from law enforcement it's alerted me is 3.8 miles, and that was over 2 big hills (the officer was driving in traffic toward me). Again, I'm very impressed so far, and I personally don't feel the unit is oversensitive, even in towns. Worth every penny near as I can tell! I can't imagine anyone not being more than satisfied with this unit. Haven't had a situation yet to test it's super long range capability, but I doubt that day is all too far down the road;) BTW, big thumbs up to Escort for making programming the unit a very simple task.

The Redline feels very sturdy and durable. The materials used for the casing look and feel extremely durable.

I only owned this detector for two days and had to exchange it for a 9500ix. In the 10 mile stretch of Turnpike that I have to drive to work I received at least 4-6 false alerts. I believe these alerts were coming from the sensors that monitor traffic flow.

If I were using this detector for highway use only (from Miami to Orlando) I definitely keep it. But I mostly drive in small stretches of highway and city so the 9500ix seems like a better choice for me.

      Comments about Escort RedLine Radar Detector:

      I've been waiting to get one of these for a while. The performance is unparalleled. I'm sure it will have paid for itself in less than 6 months.

      Service and delivery comments:

      My only complaint is how it was delivered. It came on time from FedEx however it was sent without requiring a signature. I live in an apt complex in a "less than desirable" part of town and the FedEx delivery guy just left it sitting at my front door instead of having the apt manager sign for it. If I wouldn't have been tracking it every step of the way I am sure it wouldn't have been there when I got home that evening. Sending an item that cost $499 without requiring a signature is not a real smart idea in my book.

      False alerts because of high sensitivity but that's to be expected. This has at least 2x the range of my x50 and its easily 4x better off-axis.

        The best detector period.i have used detectors since 1979.the sensitivity and range are incredible.the one feature I really like is that it can't be detected.this is especially important going thru virgina and d.c.where detectors are so called illegal.yes it is pricey but you get what you pay for.i don't leave home without it.lots of companies make alot of claims,but this is the real deal.
