Interesting I found this information online.


I have reviewed tons of information and watched a ton of videos on encounters using both the K40 RL360 radar detector and the Escort 9500ci. I understand that ALL radar encounters are different and depending on the envoirment and surroundings range could be different. Seeing that most of us rate our radars based upon our REAL WORLD driving experiences, I have decided to compare a few different encounters that were as close as possible driving tourane. Very interesting to see who displayed better range and more warning on same band encounters, take a look !

Escort 9500ci / Redline vs. Ka band Leo encounter:
This video was .66 secs long and was on a basic straight away interstate with the Leo on left side of road. Redline detected at .28 sec into video and the 9500ci alerted at .36 secs into video they passed the Leo 60 secs into the video giving at most .32 secs of warning time to the driver take a look.

The K40 RL360 detected .19 secs into video and they passed the Leo .78 secs into video giving the driver .59 secs of warning time. Take a look.

that 9500ci is awesome

not according to those videos, they are point to the new K40 radar detectors

I have experience with both, Both have their positives and negatives when compared to each other, but exceed the V1 in functionality and use. The RL360 definitely seems to exceed the detection of the V1 now, but with all good things, the are downfalls, it picks up falsing a bit more... I am glad K40 has the "filter Mode" as it removes a lot of the falsing, and doesn't reduce the real threat as much.

this is the best radar detector ever invented period. i have used beltronics and escort radar detectors, but after using k40 RL100, there's no dought that this is the best radar detector ever. longest range detected comparing with escort passport 9500, eliminates false alarms, GPS technology, customiziable, and best of all K40's RL100 exclusive guarantee, if u get a speeding ticket they will pay for it. DRIVE TICKET FREE GUARANTEE, they will pay for your full speeding ticket no questions asked!!! 2011 TOP RADAR DETECTOR ON THE MARKET

somebody bleeds K40 here...

I wouldn't say the best, and I support K40, it is a very good detector, but the 9500ix is the best detector out there because of the functionality and the amount of features that are USEABLE daily. I believe Bell offers the same unit under another designation

and the above is referencing the portable unit (rl100 and 9500)
