[Escort](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00093t2/escort) released a firmware update for its flagship Redline 360c radar detector that delivered up to 24% greater detection range in testing against previous firmware versions, the company announced November 3, 2026, as it marks its 50th anniversary.

## What the Redline 360c Update Changes

The update extends K and Ka Band detection while maintaining response times and filtering precision, according to Escort. Testing showed a 21% detection range increase on K Band, iterating on previous firmware versions, and up to a 24% increase across tested Ka Band frequencies.

Improved signal-to-noise ratio algorithms help the detector identify weaker radar signals at greater distances, giving it time to distinguish radar from surrounding noise. Escort said the update extends range without compromising overall filtering performance or creating additional false alerts.

The firmware builds on a release earlier this year that achieved faster response times. "Greater range matters most when it's backed by the precision to distinguish meaningful signals from surrounding noise," said Jonas Forsberg, CEO of Escort Inc. "This update brings those priorities together, extending Redline 360c's detection capabilities while maintaining the filtering performance our customers expect."

Redline 360c owners can access the update by updating their device, and Escort directs drivers to its firmware update page for details. Firmware updates are also now available for the ESCORT Redline 360c International and MAXcam 360c, as well as hotfixes for the newly released Cobra RAD 390 and RAD 490i.

## Escort's Earlier Redline 360c Release

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Escort released a Redline 360c firmware update in July 2025 that reduced Ka Band response time by about 50% to 0.29 seconds average and achieved a perfect 10/10 POP detection rate, delivered free to existing customers. The same records show Escort launched the MAX 360c MKII and MAX 4 radar detectors in 2025, featuring 50% improved range and 2x filtering accuracy respectively.
