Radar detector choices

Jayhovah

Go check out rdforum.org - much better info there.
I haven't kept up in about a year, but I believe Uniden is the current king for standalone units. I have an R3 and am very happy with it, even picked up some real trophy detections of 4+ miles. Uniden has been great about listening to the community and making frequent software fixes and adding features. If you want a top tier unit with Front/Rear, go for the R7. The Unidens have tested out with some of the longest ranges and have some of the best blindspot monitoring filters.


You will also want to research what equipment law enforcement is using in your area (also discussed on rdforum.org) so that you are protecting yourself appropriately, this goes beyond radar vs lidar, but what actual guns are being used and which countermeasures will stand up the best. I am using Antilaser Priority jammers in front to go along with my Uniden radar detector and the combo has been strong for me so far. Antilaser used to be the best bet in lidar protection by I believe TMG is a newer company that is really coming on here... again though my knowledge is more than a year old.


Stay away from escort - they have been going downhill. The last good detector they made was the 9500ix, and that was forever ago. I bought a MAX360 when I upgraded from that and it was extremely disappointing.
