Hey Vortex, great video!! I always come back to your videos when I need help. My car got broken into and my V1G2 got stolen, I’m trying to replace it but weighing my options. I liked the detector itself, but I don’t like the app abilities it offered. I have CarPlay but the escort integration seems like a hassle. The R7/8 might be my choice. Any reason for or against that? I value the GPS mute and didn’t like I had to get V1Driver to get it on the Valentine, but I liked the directional arrows to tell me where a bogey is. Too many options to weigh…

I have the R3 along with several other detectors. It is a very good detector. Since the pandemic hit the cops have stopped enforcement of most of the rules of the road where I live and where I use to see radar each week I now haven't seen any in more than a year. Will probably sell all my detectors as they are almost useless now

Just want to know what is the currently the best windshield mount detector on the market?
@kimnach 3 ай бұрын
Two trivial issues that I have with my R3: (1) entering a camera radar area during non-restricted hours, the detector still warns. Since GPS signal includes time data, the firmware should (could?) be updated to not alarm during non-restricted hours. (2) Cannot mute detector until it completes verbalizing the Ka frequency.

I had one yesterday and it turns out the officer was on a side street trying to catch speeders and I was on a road next to him and I only saw him through a narrow alley way, but it took a good looking around to find him.

When in the car I need have my cell phone free. So I would prefer to use a radar detector alone and not in conjunction with a supporting app on my phone. I have an Escort 9100 and a Redline (the older one) and they are both very effective against KA which is almost the only threat in NJ by state or local police. I drive a lot and it seems (I may be wrong) that no local police use K. The state police use KA. I hate the idea of buying for me and also for my wife an expensive new detector but will if I can get one that will filter out K. Any suggestions?

My v1 is not chatty at all. In my county the sheriff use k band very heavily, but outside of the county is mostly Ka only. Love the JBV1 app that will auto turn on/off k band (or anything I want) from county to county as I desire. Love my V1G2!! …and now there is a sensitive selection for Ka band, so if you’re picking up Ka from down the road through the woods you can now turn that sensitivity down. Thing about the redline, it’s slow to react on Ka. So you may get caught up with io that you’re not picking up down the road. Plus it’s MASSIVE in size. Eww

I have Uniden R7 with th latest firmware installed. I installed it on my rearview mirror. I have passed CHPs and Police crusiers in city and Radar doesn't detect their KA band till I'm able to see them across the street. It looks like whatever they using is blocking my radar from detecting them early. Radar goes off with almost full signal when its able to detect. If its like that, then its waste of money having an expensive detector ! Need to know if all R7s like this or if its just mine

I had no idea in 2024 that radar detectors were still a thing! In order for cops to write a speeding ticket in Texas (not an absolute speed law state) they have to articulate why it was unsafe or unreasonable for you to be traveling at that speed on your citation (given weather conditions, time of day, other traffic, number of pedestrians in the area, etc.). Additionally, the radar or the lidar is a secondary verification, they must visually track your vehicle (with a tested and documented +/- 3mph) during training.

I need your opinion bro, i live in alberta and im having hard time deciding between R3 vs redline ex which one is better based on my location
@VortexRadar 3 ай бұрын
hm I haven’t heard many people still using the Redline EX. The R3 is likely better, but has some limitations for photo radar frequency ranges it can detect. Edmonton in particular can be pretty hardcore with speed enforcement. Your best bet might be to ask a fellow Albertan. (Is that the term for it?) www.rdforum.org/forums/103/

QUESTION PLEASE- Sorry to bother you with this but I honestly think you are the only person anywhere that can answer this accurately. And it would be nice to have a straight answer and I assume I'm not the only one confused about the current Escort product line so might help others also. Can you please enlighten me about the current state of the hardware with escort. Assuming I wanted to get the best performing device Escort has right now, besides the custum installed redline obviously, would the best device they have available right now still be the 360C Camera since it has supposedly the best hardware in it, which when released they said it has the same hardware as the flagship Redline 360C model with the additional benefit of the camera built in, but that was before the Mark II and the new hardware revision of the Redline 360C which seems apparent even if they aren't calling it a Mark II. Would you say it's likely that the latest revisions of the 360 and 360C as the Mark II versions would have the most advanced, latest hardware, and would thus have the best range and BSP? And would it be safe to assume this new Redline revision that they didn't differentiate but obviously updated has these same upgrades so would be the best performing unit since it seems the Max 360C Camera didn't get these hardware revisions? I am Trying to upgrade right now and reading different things. I just want to upgrade to the best unit they have and was under the assumption that would be the 360 Camera, but now I am second guessing that since the later hardware revision of the redline 360C and the new 360C Mark II now have newer improved hardware and would then now have better performance than the 360C Camera and the Redline 360C with the older hardware revision. It seems like they should have made a Redline 360C Mark II also, but they instead just improved the hardware which is apparent with how different hardware revisions are updatable to different firmware versions. The older revision is only updating to the same firmware version as the old Max 360C while the redline being sold now is updatable to the latest firmware the same as the mark II. Sorry for the crazy long question just want to get the right device and not fall for their marketing BS and confusing specs and literature and be stuck with an inferior device since I only upgrade every few years, so I want to get the best when I do. Thanks again.

Lots of their detectors have similar backend processing for things like filtering, but the Redline has the best antenna/horn for the longest range. It outperforms the MaxCam.

Question is do they work to warn about up coming speed cameras…????!
@VortexRadar 2 ай бұрын
Those are typically alerted to using a built in and updatable GPS database, similar to what you have in Google Maps and Waze. Some can also detect radar and laser based models which is particularly handy for mobile speed cams that aren’t in one fixed location.

Love the videos they have been very helpful. I was wondering I just recently picked up a Uniden DFR9 off of eBay used for 200$ did I get a good deal or would I have been better off getting something else. I currently live in Indiana I use my car for city and highway driving.

Are they the fixed ones installed in poles at intersections and along the side of the road? If so, just run Waze on your phone for free. :)

@@VortexRadar what are your opinions on the nextbase 522gw and the AUKEY DRO 2? would you say the camsonic z3+ is good to have alongside a u3000 or a229? as front and rear? and would you choose these over something like an a229?
@VortexRadar 3 ай бұрын
Not a huge fan of the Nextbase or Aukey offerings. The Cansonic is a bit of a one trick pony and kinda oversized. Personally I’d just do an A229 series or a U3000 if parking recording is a priority and call it a day.
