After 40 years of being a habitual speeder (lately i can drive 2,000 miles and SADLY no one passes me -- 30 years ago i used to have rabbits all the time), and driving with the best defenses at the time, and still getting a ton of tickets but having so many saves, ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: Once you drive with arrows (V1 Gen2, Uniden R7, Max 360? (i don't drive with Cincy Microwave products since Valentine, the mastermind of the Escort, stated his own company, Valentine), ARROWS are critical to identifying where the radar or laser source is. IF it is radar with front arrows and cars are in front of you, the radar is not picking you up. IF you are speeding alongside a big semi and you get instant on'd by K or KA band, then that will lock onto the semi, so HAMMER your brakes before you get out front of the semi. IF it is laser with cars in front of you, and you are in the middle lane going much faster than cars on left or right, YES laser might be picking YOU up, so once you identify where the source is, it is up to you if you want to take evasive action. ONCE cops turn on their lights, you are a FOOL to run, but all the times I have been painted, they pull out with their lights OFF, so if you are on a Hayabusa with 192 top speed or Z06 with 198 top speed, and you know you can gain separation quickly, and then get off highway, that decision is up to you. BUT ONLY IF you have open road ahead of you. NEVER endanger innocent lives with this game of cat and mouse. And it is a game.
Que buen video amigo, te felicito..!! Definitivamente el Uniden R7 es el mas preciso. Gracias a tus videos, tomé la decisión de cambiar mi Valentine One por un R7. .......Espero poder conseguirlo por Ebay. Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱..!!👍👍
Many cars are using K for anti-collision. I've turned it off because all know radars in my local cities seem to be using KA. I might enable K when I do a road trip. There are a couple detectors claiming auto-learning, but that wasn't a determining feature for me. I went for the speed of detection and direction indication of the radar. I'm very happy.
Dudes, READ your owners manuals! Uniden used to be junk years ago, but my #1 is my R7 on ADVANCED at 50% K strength, which has cut almost all my false K alerts. KA and laser remain 100% strength on advanced.
I watched this video 1 day after getting my R7. I can't be happier. I started with a radar/dash cam combo made by Whistler. I was impressed with the KA alerting way in advance, but the video was poor because of movement. It they had included a better bracket, I may have kept it. The price was good. I then went to Uniden DFR-9. It was okay, but after watching some more reviews on quickness of alerting, I decided to bight the bullet and pay more than I wanted to in the first place. I do love the larger suction cup mount. It stabilizes the r7 quite well. The r3 looked pretty good, but arrows and quickness of alerting on the r7 convinced me.
Dude, with your attitude you WILL lose your license soon, and maybe your car too! IF i was a cop, I would hide, and NEVER shoot my radar at anyone UNLESS I knew they were going at least 20 over. GUARANTEED ticket. (through experience any human can get damn good at knowing if a car is at 10 over or 25 over.) TIP: STUDY and READ all owners manuals for the R7 and the V1. Learn from others with more experience, their mistakes, their lucky experiences, and their skilled experiences. I have been nailed by MANY intelligent cops who were smarter than me.
@@VideosfromNH one more ? What are all ur settings at? Like what’s on and what’s off? I just got mine today and it was freaking out all the way home...
@@evanworthington1 I don't have all of teh settings. I used default settings, plus X K Ka on. The only other changes I would make are display changes. I run as close to default as makes sense.
I haven't manually locked out the X band and K band signals yet. Those are stationary falses. Probably after I update to the new firmware, I will lock them out.

Nice.. just got one yesterday as an upgrade to the R3. The arrows are a must have
Arrows are nice.
Got mines a week ago still trying to get use of it
Nice.
Awesome, getting mine tomorrow, Thanks
Enjoy it
You won’t regret it! BSM alerts a bit. But detection is good!
I’d get this or Valentine, but I don’t like running apps. So this fits the bill

@ THANK YOU!

I do not have an R4 or R8. I only have an R7.
I definitely noticed your rear antenna isn't seeing the rear good.you need to raise the r7 up so the rear antenna is above the the front passenger seat.
The front seats are bucket seats. The detector can see the rear window.

I thought it just alerts ka band when the cops are using their radar to scan? Or does it mean the radar gun is still on but not in use?
The detector will alert as long as the radar is transmitting. Doesn't matter if someone is looking at it or not.
What mode you had highway or city or custom ??? Very nice long range detector
The setting is shown at the beginning.
@@VideosfromNH yes I noticed it after i went back in the beginning lol 😂
Just ordered one on Amazon. They’re on sale at $374
I've heard around that they are less expensive now.
@Amanda Lochmann Still better than what some stores have it for, ~$600. I also noticed some sellers on Amazon were trying to sell them for $700 +

You don't know.

Something exciting and different this time. A few seconds off and I might have missed it.
Does ur Kband go off a lot! Is there a way to make it not so Sensitive?
