| Escort RedLine review Over the years I have had/used 2-K40's, 1-Bel, 1-8500, 3-9500I's and one of the 9500I's I upgraded to an IX. I added a RedLine to my arsenal about a year ago and run it with my V1 & 9500CI. So far i have been very impressed with the RedLine, this is a nice heavy radar detector with great sensitivity, and good basic features.
