Welcome to RALF! And enjoy living in the Police State, er ah, the Garden State, I meant.
I'd recommend getting an RD that is good with laser.
V1 -> Whistler CR90 -> RL (for laser performance)
V1c <--> RLee for radar
VG
Thank you, all for responding and offering suggestions!
(Don't know how to use the "thanks" as yet)
@rigtofly01 -- was curious if you had any more updates to your review of the EL? I was following it in another thread. I also can't find someone's posting in combining the EL w/ Redline.
I've recently started using Waze again and found the crowd sourcing really nice. Many a months ago, I didn't use it as much as we were using Google maps and our mounted GPS.
Does anyone have a YouTube link where the EL shows integration with Waze alerts?
(Read about it, but would actually like to see something in action)
@VG -- haven't considered the V1 or Whistler but will start reading on it.
@bestradardetector -- thanks for your message and comparison between the Redline & Max. I'm mostly in suburbia and major highways.
(I am concerned about the included mount, for the Max, but may get a 3rd party or eventually go to a Belmount)
I'm probably going to start off small, purchasing a windshield mounted device which I can move from 1 car to another. I live in an area with open parking can't leave this mounted all the time.
I'm also not handy at all so will need guidance on hard wiring or will seek a local installers help when the time is right. Trying to avoid a cord on the center dash.
I'll keep anyone reading posted on what I do purchase as well as how it's going for me.

Greetings,
I finally decided and got my hands on a Redline w/ Escort Live. Thanks to all for helping share their opinions and suggestions.
The first thing I did was to update the EL smartcord with the "Expert software" that allows for band segmentation and more.... Thereafter I paired it with the Bluetooth on my iPhone - like how quickly can this can be done via a smartphone.
At the moment, I've got all bands on including X as I'm in central NJ. Drove around with the spec display on so I can start getting more familiar with what's around me in some more detail. Already locked out a few Xs I know are around some stores.
Got a few K readings and am figuring those out.
The EL app showed a laser and Ka a few miles ahead of me, but I wasn't heading there......
I'm more comfortable with waze at the moment and not sure if I can make a good comparison as yet. Also need to do some more driving to see how many users reporting on EL Vs Waze.
POP, TSR & SWS are off.
Keep us updated on your Escort Live experience. Its been a while since I used it but when I did it has lots of issues with lockouts.
