Escort RedLine Ultimate Performance Radar Detector Specifications & Features
Band Detection
For just under $500.00, you would expect this machine to cover every possible band available to law enforcement agencies. Thankfully, the Escort RedLine Ultimate Performance Radar Detector does this with ease, providing detection for K, Ka, Ku (the most important three), POP, X, SWS, and a variety of Lasers.
Detection itself is tasked to two separate antennas in this model, which helps to increase sensitivity and increase the reach of the device (more about this in the performance and range section).
Display & Layout
The Escort RedLine Ultimate Performance Radar Detector looks similar to any other radar detector from Escort, except for the added "flat deck" display which now protrudes from the bottom of the original user display.
This flat deck allows the user buttons to be brought closer to the driver and they are therefore more accessible than devices which have them on the top of the unit casing.
The deck also acts as another micro-display, showing information on the strength of secondary signals in unison with the main display.
Unique Technology
The "TotalShield RF" technology which has been transplanted in to this device from Escort's previous models has been slightly upgraded here to provide protection from both VG-2 and Spectre detection systems.
Basically, this means that the machine is completely undetectable by law enforcement agencies, as long as it is not blatantly positioned in the middle of your windscreen (and even then they would have to physically see it to know it was there).
Performance & Range
The dual antennas on this device could very well be the key to the stunning increase in range and performance that we clearly measured in our testing, when compared to other Beltronics and Escort radar detectors (Beltronics is another top manufacturer).
Line of sight Ka band detection rose to an incredible 2,800 meters - over 2 miles - and our cornering tests turned up similarly impressive figures, with an identical Ka band leakage being detected 1,200 meters away.
Our Rating of the Escort RedLine Ultimate Performance Radar Detector
It doesn't get much better than this. The Escort RedLine Ultimate Performance Radar Detector is clearly one of the best machines out there on the market for serious motoring enthusiasts and long distance drivers. So to answer our initial question - yes, Escort has done it yet again!
