So if you are unhappy with escort....that's cool...don't buy it
The videos I posted of actual performance, doesn’t concern you at all ?

Escort CI cannot even jam the "dragon eye” at point blank distance. Cannot even DETECT "dragon eye"

I had read all the Raletc blogs before I bought. I am sure there is a good reason but the site reads like a ALP fanboy blog and I have a lot of history with escort. Like I said it's cool for you to buy what ever you like. Not sure all the drama and posts to try to prove your choice was right

Enjoy

The videos speak for themselves. My intent is to prevent others from making the mistake of purchasing the Escort CI until they demonstrate they can jam the “dragon eye” on a regular basis. I am trying to use CURRENT information and break the mindset of “well I always used Escort/V1 and why would I try anything different”
It is a difficult position to buy the highest priced item and only learn AFTER that the less expensive item is superior.

I must admit the Escort CI installed is pretty to look at.

A worthy mission. I see it on audio forums and pretty much any other high end forum. The up and coming giant killer taking on Goliath. Typically backed by guerilla marketing. I am happy to agree to disagree. I am not Trying to push one or the other. I am comfortable with the Escort and would recommend to others. I am also comfortable that you disagree That's cool

The ONLY laser jammers on the market as of today that can jam the “dragon eye” and other random pulse LIDAR guns is ANTI LASER PRIORITY. I am not sure why you went with the Escort CI 360 and not anti laser priority. They both have stealth install but there is a huge difference in their performance. Be careful of a false sense of security.
^^ this for the ALP with less drama, plus probably the Net Radar that it can integrate with.

I've always been interested in understanding the perfect radar and laser hammer setup, but all the info seems either subjective, or company driven but disguised as a review. I trust people on this site more than most on this convo.. so am I to understand that the perfect combo is a

Uniden R3 and then this laser priority setup?... you buy these two separately and use together?.. newbie question, I know nothing Jon Snow style.

Anti laser priority
Laser Jammers
And
Net radar
Is best for concealed

If you wanted a windshield mount then Uniden R3 along with just the Jammers anti priority set up.

Either way you have the best and also at a lower price paid

Did you check out the R1 vs. the R3? Looks like the R3 just adds GPS for known speed traps and red light cameras, but as far as I can tell does not do GPS-based lock-out of false alarms. Curious if anyone has used the R1.

Shipping next week. I looked at the R1, but given relatively low price of both models the extra hundy for red light cameras was worth it. I don't drive fixed routes usually and never used the lock out on my other unit.

Here is an excellent video from a respected person in the radar/laser community.
