I do like how its affordable and small, but when I see a 33.8 or 34.7 Ka reading and don't know where its coming from it gets a bit stressful! 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.

      Glad you’ve found it helpful! Unlike power cables, there’s basically no cross compatibility between brands. They all use different connectors. Even the original Max360 had a different connector than the newer Max360 and other newer 360-series detectors.

    My biggest problem with radar detectors is the OLED displays, I’ve got an R3 and after one year it was totally useless as far as the display was concerned. Yes I can still use it off of the alerts alone, but you cannot read a single thing unless it’s pitch black dark off the display.

    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.

    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?

      When I turn on my vehicle, the V1G2 auto powers on… the dedicated Android auto powers on and the JBV1 auto powers on and connects to the V1. (The ALP also auto power on 🤫). 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 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.

      Makes sense. That’s quite common. It’ll only alert if they have a radar gun and are actively using it. This video may be helpful: czcams.com/video/cQW_jrgmf7g/video.htmlsi=CM8tJfX6LWfZlKq0

      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.

    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.

    • @VortexRadar
      @VortexRadar  Před 23 dny +1

      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.

I have read some English comments on Amazon saying that they don't seem to work. I have also read a comment saying that they had not set it up correctly. Could this be true? It costs £800 on Amazon, and it is not cheap. Have you heard anything about them not working in England? Can you recommend any English websites I can go on for some information?

    There is a much better product for those that want/need a HARD -Wired power cord so they can use the Parking Mode of their dash cam.
    NO NEED TO BUY a hard wire power cord & then have the hassle of hard wiring it or paying someone several hundred dollars to hart-wire it for them.
    Garmin OBD Power Cord - will provide power 24/7 to any USB device. Simply plug one end of the power cord into their vehicle's OBD port & the other end into their dashcam - easy peasy.

      They are convenient. I use one in my Audi with the U3000. It wouldn’t do the ignition trigger properly though and car mechanics usually advise against pulling power long term from the OBD port because it’s not designed for that (it’s a diagnostic port) and has lead to issues in multiple vehicles. It’s not guaranteed of course and many times it’s okay, but there are many good reasons to use a traditional hardwire even if it’s less convenient than the OBD variant.
