Radar detector choices

cv129

Speeding camera detection - I believe it is still on the earlier stage, not very mature yet. I think there are detectors better equipped for that in Asia and Europe. I’ve been out of the game for a while. I drive like grandpa mostly nowadays ha

As far as pacing and chopper...that’s why I said one has to be mindful. There’s no countermeasure for those lol.

For the types of ticket I try to avoid though, pacing isn’t a concern.

If you like to speed, there’s no doubt a RD easily pays for itself. It only takes 1 or 2 tickets to offset the cost.

If you are referring to the cameras often used around, for example, school zones, they might not always be operational, but their location is known and usually fixed. Uniden maintains a database that is uploaded to the RD and provides you with an alert as you approach the location of one. Same thing with red light cameras. Uniden periodically updates the database as cameras are added or retired.

I use an R3 and have been extremely satisfied with its performance. Alerts many miles before encountering the LEO are common place. The prior comments here about laser and instant on radar are well taken. Short of installing a laser jammer (illegal in many states), running Waze along with a RD are pretty effective countermeasures.

Whenever I went to GA, there were these cameras on the highway pointing your way and against traffic, and seemed to be present every other mile marker. Not sure what they were, but I'm guessing they were speed cameras Luckily in FL, we don't require front bumper license plates.

Thank you for all the responses. If you are driving in GA watch out.After research I ended up going with Valentine V1 Gen 2. I had great luck with the Valentine V1 Gen 1 in the past.

How about the new Redline ?

I think Vortex just got his. Not much longer and he will do a review.

I live in Ontario Canada. Here the police cry for the advantage on getting you off guard. They say they don't have quotas on speeding tickets here, they do.

My first ticket was in a 2004 Corolla. I was on my way to uni to present and the cop stopped me, not the people in front of me ripping it. By that time I was driving for 4 years, clean record. But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, had to stop me for going 10 over in a industrial area.

Ironically I was stopped in front of a newly built prison. I should have fought that ticket, but I was to much of a ****y back then.

I have a Valentine 1 and it works great.

I got the V1G2 and returned the Uniden R7. The Uniden R7 has pretty much the same range as the V1G2 on KA, but the K filtering is horrible. It is so noisy that I can't deal with it. On the other hand, the V1 is definitely quieter, but it is still not perfect and it doesn't have GPS lockout on its own. You have to pair it with your phone to get it.

Spooler

Being as you were in Cali, you could have turned off K band. My reading has said that KA is all the copper's use.

Yes you are right, but I want to try it for a few more months to test it more.
