Escort RedLine Ultimate Performance Dual-Antenna Radar Detector – One of the Most Expensive Car Radar Detectors for a pricey $499.99

Pros

  • High Performance Detection.
  • The Auto-mute feature reduces the alert volume saving you the constant irritation of a full-volume alert.
  • Goes undetectable on most radars.
  • Long warning time made possible by dual-antenna design.
  • The AutoMode feature intelligently screens out false alarms.
  • Ultra-bright text display.

Cons

  • Not as many filtering capabilities as are present in other detectors.
  • Slightly over-priced as compared to its rivals.

Analysis

This is one of the most sensitive, high-performance radar or laser detector that you will find in the market. It possibly provides the longest range for every signal. Escort claims that the RedLine has the best detection range available. The RedLine uses a dual antenna design that is tuned specifically for each band. The long range detection ability might be a direct result of this, including the POP mode.

Escort claims that the RedLine can detect small amounts of laser light even when the source of the laser is off-axis. It also gives you the longest warning time among all. The detector has three operating modes: Highway (full sensitivity) Auto (filtered mode) and Auto NoX (filtered but without X-Band). The auto-muting feature can be turned off and on, thereby enabling the user an option to screen the constant full volume alerts. It is also completely undetectable by radar detectors, since it uses the same magnesium case as the Bel STi Driver.

Overall, it is a high performance, top of the line product- Escort has done a fine job here.
