Just viewed your video from a year ago and I must say thank you for the information. I’m an old escort passport radar detector guy from the 1980s. Your video made it very easy for me to catch up a mere 40 years later… i’m hoping to get a new model S in August so a radar detector will be needed. Thanks again.
Wanted to add for newcomers that surface area on your vehicle plays a role in radar clocking. The larger the vehicle, the easier it is for an officer to obtain your speed further away down the road.
was looking at buying a detector and found your channel, and was surprised to see you are also based out of Mill Creek! Crazy coincidence. I recognized the the mcdonalds and starbucks in town center at 0:51
Most of the speed cameras over here (Finland) are not radar based, instead they use induction loops in the road. They also always take a photo from the front, as it's (at least for now) not legal to issue tickets to the vehicle, only the driver. Although a ticket will be sent to the owner of the vehicle, they can dispute the ticket at which point the photo is taken under scrutiny. If the driver can't be identified, ticket will be voided. This also means that motorcycles often get a free pass, as they don't have a registration plate on the front. Things have started to slowly change though, as new cameras being installed are radar based. We do have the advantage of police running Ka band exclusively, no K or X band at all. They may occasionally run a laser but it's quite rare. edit: Oh and detectors are illegal to possess in any motor vehicle here. Doesn't matter if it's in use or not. Big ticket time if you get caught.
It’s crazy, I just bought my uniden R8 thanks to you videos and reviews and as I’m watching the vids, I’m seeing my neighborhood and roads I drive by all the time lol. Could very well be a neighbor hahaha.
Think you forgot to mention the biggest benefit of windshield mounted radars: portability. If you ever rent a car or drive a friend's car (or just change cars) all you need to do is swap it over.
Thank you for your excellent analysis and information on everything RD it is really appreciated. I searched scores of videos and pictures trying to get a glimpse of the bottom of an Uniden R3, R7, Radenso XP, Pro M and the like but the bottom of the detectors are rarely shown. Specifically I was interested if the bottoms were louvered so as not to block airflow when mounting. I did finally catch a glimpse of the bottoms on some of your videos but had to watch carefully. If you would like, perhaps in future videos you can show the bottoms of the RD's and be even more through than you already are. Thank you again.
We are not allowed radar detectors here in New South Wales Australia, we have fixed speed cameras, mobile speed cameras (privately owned by banks) that park at the side of the road and must have warning signs before and after the vehicle. The Highway Patrol have the latest radar systems. Some states still have the old across the road strips. We also have red light speed cameras, two for the price of one for the State Government !
Thank you for all your videos. Based on your review of the Uniden R3, I got one and it is a super unit for the price. It works very very well. I use it on my Goldwing and my car.
You can. I’ve done it before but the only thing I experienced was under extreme heat or cold the adhesive gets super weak and it can come undone from the dash.
My redline 360c has suspect range sometimes I get a mile or more and sometimes I have to be right up on the cops. Makes me wonder if I should switch to the uniden r7
A mile is pretty great in tough terrain. That's about the max range I see up here in Seattle no matter which detector I use. Switching to an R7 won't help there. It's also possible officers are using instant on instead of constant on which can affect maximum alert distances too.
Stalker II MDR was and is a great gun. That one you have is none worse for the wear. They were very popular with moto cops. Nothing like the old 34.7 to zap someone. The new ones are both slightly smaller and lighter. FWIW, for some reason, Escort Units really seem to excel on 34.7. The M3 just eats it up.
Weirdly enough, my Uniden DFR7 will alert on every cop whether they are running radar or not. I'm not sure what the cops in my area have in their car that is constantly putting out signals, but it is always KA band.
If the DFR7 is alerting to Ka, it’s because the cops are running radar. It won’t be alerting otherwise. Sounds like you’re lucky to be in an area where the cops leave their guns on all the time. :)
Live in Texas. After researching I got a Uniden R7. Love it except for one thing: The lighter plug in is too fat to fit in the dash plugin. It does fit in the one in the center console though. I use it in two cars so I want to use the plug in.
As of 2021 which radar falses less?regular max360 or uniden r7???also i read uniden r7 sucks at laser detection? I also read they are prone to block real police k band with the automatic lockouts?@vortexradar
What if a cop sets up with a radar gun right next to a digital speed sign that you filtered out? Can radar detectors distinguish between the two radar signals- the speed warning sign and the cop with the radar gun?
At 9:17 I see a large display showing radar detector output. What is that? Something I can use with my Uniden R3? At my age, the uniden r3 display is hard to read while driving.
A TN State trooper got me when I was approaching him from the rear going 96. My Cobra RAD 480i has had issues picking up TN state troopers. Does anyone know what seems to work well for them. I thought it will catch some but not all on KA Band.
Pennsylvania is looking to give local cops radar guns and we are all worried they’ll be all gung ho to play with their new toys. By the time I’m done my windshield will look like a freaking electronic warfare center
So I'm in San Diego CA. I drive by a CHP motorcycle officer who always sits on the highway with a gun or binoculars up to his eyes. My Uniden R7 doesn't pick it up. I see this cop always writing tickets. What's he using? There was one time my Uniden R7 (LASER) setting went off. It was for a split second.
I would think someone would mark him with Waze if you are running that as well. I pair that with my R7 and although it's not bullet proof, it has saved me quite a bit here in NY where they use quite a bit of laser.
@@anythingadrenaline4515 It's an app for your smartphone. Look it up. In fact it saved me today from Laser. I got hit, but if I had relied on the detector it was too late. But I knew well before because he was marked by other Wazers. It's just another layer of protection. This was on a major interstate, and there is plenty of traffic and people to mark them. As Vortex said, Laser Jammers are awesome, but expensive.
Do you need to run the Escort live app while driving to utilize the auto lockouts using the Redline 360c? I use waze and sometimes open the Escort live, and sometimes I do not. I've noticed that some signals are locked out, but some just don't. What am I doing wrong? I always hook mine up to mobile hotspot.
Nope. The RL360c can do that natively. Live mostly adds the alert sharing with other drivers, either over your phone with Bluetooth or over WiFi with your hotspot. If it's connected to WiFi already, using the app would just be used to quickly change settings.
I'm in carrollton tx and dragon eye laser guns are popping out my old escort redline it's detecting them i got lucky last few weeks ago i almost got clock lucky another guy in front of me got clock...
What if I put in a mute for a radar speed sign in memory, on a Uniden R7 for instance and the next time I come by there is actually a cop there. Will the detector give me an alert of the cop's radar if shooting?
Thanks for the guide, really awesome! I’ve waiting on delivery of a Uniden R7 and I’m looking forward to mounting it on my new C8. One of the things I’m worried about is reaching to the mute button if I mount it lower on the dash, the windshield is heavily slanted so it’s likely I won’t be able to reach it. Are there accessories for the R7 to allow me to remote mute it?
uniden makes a hardwire kit with a mute button you can place anywhere you find convenient. when you look up the r7 on amazon it is will probably come up
How can I lock out a Ka band. Every time I drive past a dealership I get Ka Band alert for a month now and while I can mute it, how to I lock out? Will mark button on R8 work?
There is an advanced option for that. In mute memory, change from X/K to X/K/Ka. This sounds like a good use case for it, but obviously keep in mind you could potentially lock out a cop if you use it willy nilly. :)
@ thanks for your reply. Figured I would post the question here to give a bump to the algorithm for can older video. I look forward to your video in the latest Redline 360c update.
Good video man, I have my 9500 set up to display freq. I find later model hondas use Ka ~24ish for blind spot. Cops seem to be ~31 Have you noticed this as well (I’m in Canada)
I hope you see this and are able to provide some insight. So these products all detect radar, but what is the difference between them and like a laser jammer? Do cops use laser to detect speeding? If so would you need 2 different devices to be fully protected? Also I've seen your videos about scanners being able to detect different radar detectors. Is that just basically saying the cop will know you have a radar detector if their detector goes off? Thanks man and really hope you can answer these questions for me!
I mob a 996 Turbo around country side with some rolling hills as well as in the mountains with hills, curves, and trees. Should I go with the Uniden R7? Roads usually not crowded at all. I'm in Idaho. Early warning would help me the most.
In Canada, they are not just illegal but the fines are high. For the «custom installation » if a cops has motives to believe you have one installed, he can get you towed to a garage and have it uninstalled at your own expenses...
So I checked out your article on the best radar detectors of 2021 and noticed that there weren’t any Cobra detectors on there. Is there a reason for that? My grandfather has had multiple Cobra detectors and they have all worked flawlessly so I consider them to be pretty reliable. Granted I’m only 13 and I am not exactly knowledgeable on every brand of radar detectors.
I drive a lot of highway, Illinois for reference. I've found majority if not all of kA band 33 is highway service vehicles-snow plows and the like. Any input?
My front windshield has aftermarket tint, will that affect in any way the performance of the radar detectors? Thanks for the video it was very useful and informative.
So basically these will only help if police are out looking for people that are speeding, if police are cruising and don't have their scanners on to check for speed the detector won't detect anything and you can pulled over for other traffic violations? Do police ever cruise without their speed radars on? These also won't help against police using laser correct?
Hello, i hope this question is ok. I just purchased the Escort max360c before watching this video and looking at your recommendations. Should i return the escort max 360c? Is it any good? I don’t see any reviews over it in detail like the others so i wonder if i made a good decision?
Here’s a review of it from a few years back: ruclips.net/video/iouLfLZ5FVs/видео.html I run one in both my mom’s car and my wife’s car now. It should be a reasonable choice. It’s not perfect, but it’s continues to develop over the years.
Thank you bro, good information to know and good job on explaining about Canadian laws on radar detectors too because I plan on moving to Alberta when I can. Okay I just have one more question. Is the DS1 considered a high end detector or cheaper detector, I bought mine for $400 dollars ?
I have Questions Does this Radars works only in USA or another counties I wanna buy one I dunno wich one because we have really different Radars here and I don't know if they gonna work in my country do you have any idea? I Live in UAE/Dubai
@@VortexRadar thank you sir, appreciate the answer, I'm just gonna buy one and Try it out and let's see if it's gonna work or not I will keep you updated if you wanted too.
Solos are discontinued. They have poor performance, limited features, and lots of falses. They’re super old tech and rely on turning on/off a lot internally to save power which leads to reduced range. In short there are no good cordless options and I recommend staying away.
There is a police radio detector known as Python that is only available in the United Kingdom, do you know of any USA alternatives? Radio might be more useful in cases such as LIDAR, because in theory, police will always be using a radio to communicate, and it should always be on for emergencies.
do you still have your T-Mobile for Wi-Fi setup and that little plug that you bought off of Amazon how is everything working I think that's been about a year I just come up on it the other day and I'd like to know how you doing have you changed anything have you changed the USB plug you got from Amazon did you do anything different and is that T-Mobile still working for you could you let me know something I'm thinking about getting that T-Mobile everything and I'd like to know something to do thank you appreciate it

What’s the best detectors as far as filtering out false alerts?
Hello there. You didn’t mention about wireless detectors. Eg: Solo 3/4/5 whatever. Are they poor products or outdated or something else?
Solos are discontinued. They have poor performance, limited features, and lots of falses. They’re super old tech and rely on turning on/off a lot internally to save power which leads to reduced range. In short there are no good cordless options and I recommend staying away.
Great video vortex if you have a build in RD dector trying to detect Redflex I assume it be better to mount the antenna vertical behind the bumper 🤔
I've heard reports of that helping with Redflex, but it also compromises detection against traditional radar.
There is a police radio detector known as Python that is only available in the United Kingdom, do you know of any USA alternatives? Radio might be more useful in cases such as LIDAR, because in theory, police will always be using a radio to communicate, and it should always be on for emergencies.

Lidar only works while the officer is stationary
Anyone here from Australia? Curious about whether they'll work here. Not sure of the frequency used in Oz.
I believe they are illegal in Vic and NSW but my thoughts my be out dated.
