    • This is a radar detector, not a police detector.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Two things to remember: not all police units run radar, and this isn't your dad's radar detector. Many detectors today do require some level of configuration, and knowing what is used in your state helps greatly. Vortex Radar has an awesome guide on how to set up your detector. As for the Uniden R8, this is by far the best detector I've owned yet. The long-range detection isn't exaggerated; it really does pick up radar from far away, and it's fast too. Except to get false alerts every now and then. I don't care what kind of radar detector you have; there will always be false alerts. Lucky, the Uniden does cut back on many of them. ... show more

    • After a year, going well, great direction and functions as claimed
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I've had this about a year now. It picks up signals that are important (mostly KA) very early giving you adequate heads up. Couple this with a waze setup and you should be in a good place. The picking up ahead/behind/side is great, no more guessing. I've probably driven 30k miles with it, would recommend 100%, I came from the escort line and have no issues with this brand or the model. It's expensive but for those who do extensive driving or struggle to watch their speed, this is a must. ... show more

    • Never Fails
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Radar is very good at what it does. There are plenty of false alerts (IN MY AREA, but it's good at filtering and isn't bothersome), however, it's very easy to distinguish a true positive with the way the radar picks up frequencies. There is room to tune this radar and minimize false alerts, though I haven't. I have yet to pick up Laser, but that's not the radar's fault, I just don't drive near the state line much. Overall: The radar does exactly what it's supposed to do better than it needs to. Super long-range signals, directional arrows are accurate, radar volume is easily adjustable with good ranges, and the mount is very strong. I do think that this can be overkill for most people, I purchased this one for two reasons, it is really long-range and it has future support for laser jammers. Otherwise, this is a very reliable and respectable radar. I'd recommend the Uniden R4 if this radar is to pricey. ... show more

    • Lives up to the YOUTUBE reviews - but better.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
The R8 is the 1st radar detector I've bought in about 10 years. The last being an Escort- that I believe was the first advertised undetectable radar detector. Driver STi, I think was the model name It was a GREAT detector for it's time, but over the years it became nearly unusable with all the false alarms it gave. Flash forward to this last week. It arrived on a Tuesday, it's Saturday morning now. 3 days of commuting to and from work in use. At the end of day 2 it had the GPS lockouts set. Perfectly. It's a 20 mile drive each way. About 4 miles are street traffic driving, the rest is interstate. Some YouTube reviews observed issues with the GPS lockouts feature. Maybe the firmware was updated for mine? IDK. But no issues with that whatsoever. Until I got the R8, I was - and still am- using the WAZE GPS navigation app.. WAZE is a fantastic app to notify drivers of road hazards and police presence in moderate to heavily trafficked streets and highways. But it's not that great in more remote areas or the wee morning hours for police alerts- or what if YOU are the 1at person to come across a freshly set radar trap? It's virtually useless then. That's where the R8 is worth it's weight 8n gold. UBIDEN engineered the R8 to have future Bluetooth connectivity to work with 3rd party app developers AND they are also working on a laser jammer add on device for the R8 as well.. Laser jammers aren't legal in all states. Do your homework on your area before you let that feature become a purchasing factor. In my area, X Band isn't used, so I turned that band off. I have it sweeping the entire K and Ka bands, including POP alerts. I keep it on the HIGHWAY mode. False alerts are very minimal and very shortlived. I suspect that the falses are coming from other cars using those bands for their own driver safety assistance features. There's filters for those band segments, but those alerts are weak and shortlived, I would rather have a hundred of those unobtrusive alerts than miss 1 real alert. I highly recommend watching the YouTube set up videos on the R8 and check out the recommended settings links that explain all the different settings use caaes to optimize your R8 experience. It really is a fantastic detector. I bought it through Amazon with the optional 3 year warranty. I don't expect problems with it, but you know the saying - Is rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Again, check out the YouTube reviews, they're spot on, but now with excellent GPS lockout performance, where that has apparently been an issue before. If you can afford it, get it. It's really all you need. Plug and play with a few minor tweaks, set it up once or twice and forget it. No app necessary. ... show more

    • Worth the money
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I have had an Escort for the last 12+ years, but finally needed to replace it, and reached out to a friend who I know studies this stuff really hard before he buys something. He talked me into getting this one, even though I didn't want to spend the money for it, but I can see why he did. The distance this thing picks up, front, back, and even to the side is amazing. It has a ton of tuneable features, easy to get in operation, and tune. I highly recommend. ... show more
