![]() There's no auto mute, no selectable band defeat or GPS, for instance. The V1 remains focused on performance rather than features. It has received a few updates-laser detection in the mid-nineties, a revised circuit board in 2007 and sporadic software tweaks-but is otherwise unchanged from the original. The Valentine One is a familiar face and has been a contender in a dozen of our shootouts since it was introduced in 1991. And the arrows pointing toward a threat will be an added attraction for many. The ability to automatically lock out nuisance radar signals makes it a good choice for drivers weary of being bombarded by false alarms. It has class-leading radar performance and a high level of sophistication. The Escort Redline 360c can be used as a set-and-forget device while it also appeals to the enthusiast driver. They also limit the number of locked-out locations-200 for Radensos only 100 for Unidens. Escort patented this feature and to avoid infringement, other manufacturers require the driver to perform the task manually. This allows the detector to recognize and automatically lock out nuisance signals after passing them a few times. Unlike the V1, the Redline 360c has GPS and Auto Learn, same as the Escort Max 360c. The system broadcasts warnings of nearby speed-enforcement activity and helps keep tabs on the enforcers. Like the Max 360c, the Redline 360c has Wi-Fi, enabling it to link without a cellphone to the Escort Live app, a crowd-sourced ticket-avoidance network. The Redline 360c's LED directional arrows remain distinct in sunlight and the audible alerts are equally effective warnings. As a consequence, on sunny days the display can get washed out by the sun. Although colorful and capable of displaying graphics, the OLED unfortunately lacks the visual punch of an LED. It's densely packed with images and tiny text. ![]() The small OLED display is used by other Escorts including the Max 360c. The four primary buttons are backlit to make them easier to find at night.Ī clever windshield mount attaches to the detector magnetically and hangs onto the glass tenaciously. The Redline 360c is housed in a black case and controlled by six top-mounted buttons. Road speed is displayed and-when linked to the Escort Live app-the posted limit as well. The information can be useful for those able to interpret it. Instead of a generic Ka band it might display, for example, 34.706 for the front antenna and 34.729 in back. In Spec mode the Max 360c displays the frequency of two radar signals, in gigahertz, one for each antenna. This gives drivers a heads-up on nearby police activity.īuilt-in WiFi enables the Max 360c to update itself wirelessly, a feature shared with the Escort Redline 360c. With front and rear radar antennas, the Escort Passport Max 360c lights an arrow to point toward a threat.īuilt-in Bluetooth allows the Max 360c to link to the Escort Live app without using a cellphone. Next time you drive past, there's no alert. Drive past one a few times and it's automatically stored to memory. ![]() Upscale features include Auto Learn which automatically locks out nuisance signals like radar-controlled automatic door openers. Housed in a two-tone case, it's controlled by six top-mounted buttons. ![]() The Max 360c has a large footprint and with two metal antennas, it's also heavy. Like the Redline 360c, its windshield bracket attaches to the detector magnetically, making short work of installing or removing it. It replaces the Max 360 which used the same platform and had similar features save for the Wi-Fi.
