Anyone have any experience with one of the New Radenso Pro M Radar detectors?
I just ordered one as I was reading about the super long range they have and limited false alarms. I was going to go with a Escort, but after all I read I decided on the Radenso. Hopefully I didn't make a mistake, I'll let you guys know how it works out. I'm getting way too many false alarms from
my old Belltronics, it's driving me nuts.

I will I’ll let you know how it is.
The only thing I saw in Vortex testing is that RDD can see it easier then other Radars. It means it is not as stealth as it should be.

I know you are asking about Radenso...but have you looked at the new R3/R1 from Uniden. I'm sure you have seen VortexRadar's review of them.
I bought Redline at the wrong time. Within a half year of buying my Redline, it got discontinued and R3/R1 came out. Well, Redline is not a bad detector but...

Yes, All the high priced ones are not all that different, by high price I'm talking anything over over $500.00. I just figured spend the money because these days in Florida even one ticket could set me back that much and the old Battery powered Escort I have does not have very good range and most of the older detectors are a lot more easily set off by cars radars like our Benz's use. Now they've got that down pretty good where thats not gonna false over that. I had tried a old Belltronics I had and that things false like every few minutes, that will go in the trash now, lol

I have an al priority jamming system with a valentine 1. I haven’t installed it in this car but it has saved me a few times in the c450 that I had before this one. I can’t figure out where to mount the back sensors which has kept me from installing the full system. My stance is it doesn’t matter what radar detector you go with just so long as it’s compatible with whatever hammers you get. And trust me you want the jammers.

I've done that before and it did not work very good as the antenna really needs to be up high, down low in the grill it's below the line of sight, thats why valentine as far as I know does not make a remote mount detector. I'll mount this one up high to the right of the inside rear view mirror and wire it into that so it turns on automatically when I start the car. Hopefully I can get a decent radar pulse through the windshield in this location, before I hardwire it I'll try it out for a while in the location. The detector came from Amazon today, I'll try it out tomorrow and let ya all know how it seems to work. Down 41 here in Florida I was getting all kinds of false alarms from the Belltronics, I hope this one does not do that too, I doubt it will. If it does get a false and you know it's a false you just mark it in the GPS to delete the false. Pretty cool technology.

Got the detector today, seems to work great, no false alerts so far, just went off going by those speed warning signs with the readout of your speed. I guess I'll just leave it on top of the dash for now, I ran the cord so it does not show all that much. I thought about wiring it in with the mirror, but I really hate to go taking that stuff apart, theres a lot going on in that area, I don't want to disturb anything and have a issue.

The Radenso Pro M seems to be working out pretty good. Gave me about a mile notice yesterday of a cop on 41 with a KA Radar, the spot I located it seems to be working out well, the cord running to the cigarette lighter does not stick out all that much and does not really bother me. The Lighter outlet is switched so every time I start the car the detector automatically comes on. The detector does not seem to have many false alarms at all unlike the Bell it replaced. This seems to have been a good move.

I got the Radenso RC M with the AL Priority laser jammers last month for my M2. It's crazy how much quieter it is versus my old Escort 9500 that was false alerting all the time. There are a few of the speed signs on my way to work, and I locked those out on my first commute and it's so quiet now that those are programmed in. No complaints. Glad to see that the Pro M is working great for you too. The lighter switch is just a push button too, right?

Finally got my RC-M + ALP installed.
It is great. Almost no false alert. Super quit which sometimes makes me worry lol.
I got fire yesterday by a laser gun in the back. Thanks ALP for saving me. I was in at 90kmh in zone of 70kmh. Saved!
I watch almost all Vortex Radar videos on YouTube. The Pro-M is really good RD specially because it has MRCD. If you didn’t need MRCD, I would of suggest you to buy the Uniden R3.

Here's a interesting test . https://www.rdforum.org/index.php?threads/71198/ The Uniden R3 is still the top dog as far as range goes for sure. Main reason I chose the Radenso is the BSM filtering as it falses less than any detector out there. Yes, though the GPS feature when marking a false like a permanent speed sign does record the band and frequency, so assuming there was a cop there at that exact place your detector should still go off unless they were real smart and had their guns set to the same band and frequency of the sign or worse yet were just sitting there reading the sign and got you that way
Heres more info on the Radenso, very well designed and compact easy to carry detector, really liking it. http://content.etilize.com/User-Manual/1041991741.pdf

Correct, sneaky buggers. When you go past the sign and you can see that there isn't a Moto cop just behind the sign, you'd want to mark the location. That will lockout the location and the frequency of that exact spot. If you pass and again and you're getting a K,Ka etc hit it will have a different frequency and it will be the actual cop.

We have MRCD up our way as well. Which province are you in? I think he was in an unmarked car a few weeks ago as well. I was running in a pack of 4 cars, no one else's detector went off except mine. No one got a ticket because we heeded the warning but I don't like the fact that very few detectors now can even pick up the band.
I think Uniden is updating or creating a new RD that will also have MRCD but the the best RD for MRCD is always been Radenso.

Wonder if the Uniden will be an installed unit or dash unit? I need stealth. Ha.

You guys got me keen on the idea of getting rid of known false alerts with gps/frequency tagging. Especially since my area has so many “your speed is” signs (about 2 per mile in all directions!). I’ve been using Valentine 1 since the introduction of Ka band so I was apprehensive about giving up a platform that I was familiar with and that I still feel is one of the best. So instead of jumping ship just yet I purchased their smart phone dongle and paired it with the V1Driver app loaded on my iPhone. Once easily set up it pairs automatically in the background of my phone each time the detector powers on, without forcing any extra steps on my part. I’ve fallen in love with the Valentine 1 all over again. I now have full gps/frequency lockouts, full control over bands and their spectrums, and can create custom band sweeps to increase sensitivity and range. And that’s just the beginning. The possibilities are way over my head at this point but I’ve accomplished what I needed, and then some, without incurring the cost of a new top shelf detector.
So I just wanted to thank you guys for opening my eyes to the possibilities and let any Valentine 1 owners know that there’s an impressive solution if you’re like me and very wrongly thought your detector had been left behind in the tech department.

V1 is still great and I could not use a detector without arrows.
I once ran both detectors, uniden and V1 On the same trip of about 300 miles. Almost identical alerts, 2 or 3 times the uniden came on 1-2 seconds earlier, but both alerted far ahead of time. Uniden sounded like R2D2 and was cheap plastic, so I returned it.

Do you have speed cams in FL? If not you can turn MRCD and MRCT options off. This will increase the range.
In addition, the range of the Pro M is pretty good, it is almost as good as Uniden R1/R3. Do you got nothing to worry, you got one of the best RD in the market.
This is how the pro's evaluate the RD
Radenso Pro M = best in BSM filtering (almost no falsing) and has MRCD detection.
Uniden R1/R3 = Best in rage, no MRCD detection and not as quite as the Pro M.
Escort Max 360c = Expensive, good range (slightly better then Pro M but not more then R3), ****ty customer support, decent BSM filtering, Auto Lockouts (patent by Escort), No MRCD.
Broth the Pro M and Unidens are stealth RD's. I don't remember if the Max360c is..
I strongly suggest to install laser jammers in your car.
ALP is the best system out there.
There is a new product coming out soon called TMG, much cheaper then ALP in terms of price and they say it can jam all the guns out there.

I have the same system and I love it. The RC-M is so quite that sometimes I worry lol.
How many heads and which one did you get for the ALP?

i live in Quebec as well, can you tell me a bit more about which system is the best and where can i buy it? Thanks a lot
