escort Red lines radar detector
Hi,
has any one has experience with the Escort Red line radar detector? I am thinking to buy an Excort radar detector but not sure if I should get the 95001x or the red lines

If you driving long distance especially interstate a radar detector may make sense to have to keep you alert and entertained. In everyday driving it is a nuisance and creates a false sense of security, and it would be useless against laser.

The Redline is an excellent detector. Currently it is the most sensitive windshield detector on the market. It is best on highways, because of its incredible sensitivity it will give you many false alerts in city/suburban driving. The 9500IX is less sensitive, and works better in a city/suburban envioment.

I have the Redline on the far left side of dash and V1 on visor on far right. Finally Escort has something to measure up to V1 which has been the standard for years. On Ka and K, often Redline will beep a bit earlier, but not much, and has an automatic reduction in sound in a second or two which the V1 lacks. I have had the Redline repaired once in 12 months whereas V1 has been trouble free for +7years. I still, if I had to have only one unit, most likely would stay with V1. I traded my 9500ix which for me was a loser, for my redline.

Did you turn off X band on your V1? That would remove 1/2 of false alarm at least. Putting it into the Intelligent mode will further reduce false.
Redline is about the same as V1.
As for 9500Ix, it's not sensitive at all. Almost as desensitized as my $75 Cobra. Many positive didn't get picked up. The red light camera alert didn't work at all even after database update. I returned it.

The OP should not turn off x band because it is used heavily in his area.

I have had the 9500ix since it was introduced. Replaced a previous Escort. I love the learning capabilities to sort out and store false alerts, the auto reduced alert volume after a few seconds , the fact you can update on online to get new speed camera sites and I feel it gives great early warning. I have tested it against the new k40 and others and it came out on top.
This site is very partial to V1 which I have not owned or tried. I would definitely recommend the 9500.
