I like all of the on line apps that track radar traps / locations.
The problem is the cops move or drive along with you. I really enjoy the 3 Escort 360’s I have in my main vehicles, they wake me up and I know if I’m being followed, passing a threat or approaching one or more. I also like the easy quiet button on the power cord, Valentine did not have that when I had one.

One oddity that I have noticed with the R7 is if I manually mark a location with a specific signal in a sea of other false signals (array of openers in a shopping complex), and it continues to alert on the additional signals, that attempting to mark a second signal, actually un-marks the first one. I guess you have to just let it automatically mute those situations. Or I am doing something wrong.
Absolutely agree on all the comment about police using radar in traffic. Nothing makes you feel more stupid that punching it only to find out there was a LEO behind or in front of you, running radar.

What happened to the Escort Radar forums? I will be in the market to get a new detector and went poking around and noticed the forums were gone...

For anyone running a uniden r7 you guys really need to get mittheru's custom international firmware. It is literally a game changer for the r7, and I use it on my own device.
Here's a link for more info: https://www.rdforum.org/threads/141832/

This was my setup when I was commuting between New Orleans and Houston back in 2015.
I had the V1 with a remote display on the right side and the Escort Redline on the left. I would run the Redline for superior range until I got a radar alert then I would turn on the V1 and orient where it was coming from. If I ran them together they would either cross talk or the V1 would suppress the Redlines range. Another funny device I used was this portable PCAS system to detect airplanes working Atchafalaya bridge. Once Waze got into popular use I could just look for multiple police pinned in an area and just deduce there was an aircraft in use. Good times.

. . . Or just drive the posted speed limit like I do. More relaxing to drive and no need to worry about where there might be speed traps.
 Yeah, don’t get behind me when there is a no passing zone.
