If you're ever behind a Chevy Tahoe/Suburban, Buick Encore, pretty much any Cadillac, you'll hear that annoying, flat, loud K-band tone

Between the auto mute feature and being able to quickly hit the mute button on the cord really makes the occasional K band false alarm easy to deal with

The unit is fully programmable, so the first thing to do is disable X band which is used in very few places in the United States

Preferred Escort Redline Settings: (For better performance, longer range, faster responsiveness)Highway mode (auto reduces x & k band sensitivity & false alerting,

X band useless on both.

First impressions are: it's heavier in weight and has a lot more settings than my old v955.You can adjust traffic rejection settings, which bands you want to ignore, brightness, volume, etcCool thing about this guy is the ability to see the frequency it picks up (e.g. Ka 34.754, 33.824, etc)K and KA

35.5 Ka band on top of that which is one of the harder bands to detect

good for city use unless you turn off X and K band-No GPS, unable to lockout false alerts unless you have Escort live, which requires subscription and Live cord

Ka band range similar on both, but again more erratic on Redline.

K-band is also impressive and like any detector, it does well on

and I have noticed that (even with TSR off) there is a considerable delay in alerting all bands K and Ka, approx 3-4 seconds when compared to the Valentine

Given I'm almost always getting 2 or more hits due to the x-band false alarms it's very hard to determine if there is something in all that buzzing and beeping that I should pay attention to

Due to the high sensitivity, there is a lot of false K band alerts, even with TSR on and on Auto mode

Ka band police radar (one of the more popular bands for police) is found in certain frequency ranges.

I just recently had a city police car with K band camp out at night in an intersection where I normally get a K band false from a fast food place

Every other band is similar to other detectors, somewhat overpriced, go for the max 2 for a few bucks more or 8500 for hundreds less.

(I turn my X-band off)- rear detection is also works very

I disable X band and like to use the pilot setting with the moving dot scanning and flashing back and forth

The expert options also allow you to disallow bands, X being the most common to turn off

In terms of falsing, the K band falses have been a little annoying, especially when it ramps up to a solid tone almost instantly

Once tuned properly to filter out unneeded radar bands, this worked wonderfully

I have false X-band signals over 75% of my normal drive.5

If you're sure nothing important in your area uses X band, you can also just put the thing in AutoNoX mode or disable X band detection in the configuration

The loss of one star is due to the relatively poor k-band filtering that lets in quite a few falses in more congested / urban areas

X band, no big deal, K, or KA band, better behave yourself

You see a couple of grocery stores around you so you can guess that the two weaker signals are probably just building motion detectors, but that extremely strong X band signal is very suspect

If you're sure nothing important in your area uses X band, you can also just put the thing in AutoNoX mode or disable X band detection in the configuration

, it's phenomenal for highway driving as known and the K band falses are an actual thing you run into because of the

If you're in the city, get ready to be bombarded with false k-band alerts from vehicles and stores alike

Smug b#stards...

Works as

It is fantastic in finding X band signals, and it doesn't ignore them as

Laser would work as long as you are behind someone and it hits someone else before you get hit to get you maybe a 1 or 2 secs to react and as long as you are not speeding at 90 Miles/hr ina 55 Miles/hr zone.
