Radenso DS1: New Test Results & FAQs

[@BillSwearingen]

I will never understand how anyone could downvote Vortex's videos. Excellent review, thank you for doing all the hard work for the rest of us!

[@GlobalDesignHD]

I got recommended on this video and have been watching for like 3 minutes and imI still dont know what the fuck he is talking about. Howboutdat?

[@Bhamilton-ws4go]

Bootlickers

[@lesgarten]

I'll explain it to you. You ever seen a poll about something that no sane person would disagree with and the poll is like 90% one answer or 92% one answer and 8-10% something crazy. That's how all ratings work. 8-10% of the people are contrarians. These are the kinda guys who when questioned if the sky is Blue, say no. So 90-92% is really 100% in practical terms. You always have an 8-10% Crazy factor. I'd say Vortex Radar is way ahead of the game here. He actually converted some of the crazies!

[@Bhamilton-ws4go]

Now we'll never know if someone does

[@tompinnef6331]

I broke down and bought one via BB. Will not get it till next Wednesday. Bought it for my one son who has a 20 mile drive to his night shift job. He's gotten a couple tickets lately. Thank you for the video. Hope the family and you are doing well. Spin

[@tompinnef6331]

@Krishna He's enjoying it. I run a Valentine 1 (V1G2) which is linked to my phone or tablet. For lockouts etc. I used a V1G1 for about 20 years before they came out with the G2 model. Take care - be safe.

[@jrmynet]

Why does nobody make a mount /detector that has power built into the mount connection so you don't have to unplug the cable each time?

[@Airbag1010674]

Because then you have two power interfaces instead of one

[@j.ballsdeep420]

@@Airbag1010674 -- Not completely true depending on engineering: For example you COULD do a magnetic USB adapter for USB-C, as many manufacturers make already, where it could have a sheeth that extends down the body with an internal cable and magnetic connection to the said magnetic USB connection so that the wired connection to the mound is simply built in. Answer to why it hasn't been done is simply that it hasn't been engineered, but even to your point of having multiple power connections, that is a lazy excuse as you're talking about fractions of a dollar to have engineered two power connections and your accessory options could make said connection.

[@RetroDiver]

My takeaway is: stealth to the Spectre Elite, but not so for the older Spectres which are still in use in Canada. Thanks Vortex!

[@Cummins402]

Yup. Won't be able to use the DS1 in my area. There's still 3 versions of spectre in use in my area. Between this and the mounting this is a fail for me personally. Disappointed. Fingers crossed for theia.

[@Roadghost88]

Yeah, the OPP love just sitting at the side of the road unmarked waiting for that blip, and they'll pull you over and search your car for it. Only the Redline 360 is truly stealth.

[@lynxy5242]

Redline 360c should be your choice. IMO the best radar on the market.

[@LarryK2024]

I purchased the DS1. The detector has a good build and the filtering is excellent. Runs Quiet. In the end however I returned it. I wish the unit had more than 1 horn. I really like the fact the Uniden R3 has more information available on the display. Will use the R3 until Radenso launches their long awaited ... detector "Theia" if that's how its spelled etc...Customer service at Radenso is top notch! Called them a few times and they are fantastic in that regard.

[@cester773]

Hi there, just want to double check the ds1 radenso ds1 radar detector frequencies specs checked on Amazon it say ds1 has gasto frequency ,but on another part, never mentioned I’m located in Australia I just want to be sure if this be right to use here and doublecheck if it’s got gasto thanks

[@halhal5440]

Thanks for the reviews. Good to see there are more fanatics out there like me. Ordered and waiting. Going to be comparing with V1G2 and R3 and R7. The R3 seems to really have the longest range of all of them on K so far.

@@EODHammer thoughts on the R4? I don’t think Arrows for me are necessary. My budget is $450

[@sircharlesgram5331]

Great review and I've ordered mines today. Can't wait to test it out

[@PaulW98Z]

One thing I would love to see detector companies putting in their detectors is a frequency lock feature. Example, you are going down the road and come up on a vehicle with known BSM, you do a certain button press to lock that frequency from alerting again since you know it is a BSM frequency. Not sure that feature will be anytime soon, but it is one I think a lot of people would like to have. It would save the companies a lot of time doing that rather trying to keep trying to keep their BSM filtering right.

[@iamscifi6710]

They should keep a log file in the detector and when you sinc it to the app to be updated, it should send the log file from the detector back to Redenso, to be inspected and to look for errors, bugs, etc. so they can fix known bugs and or errors.

[@j.ballsdeep420]

Easy upgrade in operating software to do this, too

[@MyValentineone]

Thanks for the great review, as always. Those mounts are beautiful. Still a big NO for me. No arrows and NO rear antenna.

[@lawrence5462]

Arrows, Arrows, Arrows. Been using a V1 since mid 80's. Why? Arrows! Arrows, Arrows.

[@Oakcitymedia]

What makes arrows worth it? I’m considering the R4 just doesn’t have the arrows at the $450 price.

[@fskof]

Thanks for the great review! One question..... was the testing done to a preproduction model? And if so is it possible that the production models give different results?

[@VortexRadar]

It was on a unit with the same hardware as retail, just an earlier one. More testing will be coming soon from others I’m sure. :)

[@HabibTheHeeb]

I just ordered mine! These cops have been targeting me since I started driving a old car. Been driving 10 years and never been pulled over now after crashing my car I’m in a old car. Been pulled over 3 times and ticket 2time in the past month

[@bullrun1]

so bottom line -- if budget doesn't matter and ordering a new detector -- do I buy the Radenso or the Redline 360c ? -- and like you I want a turn it on and go - not use with phone or etc. (thank you in advance for your answer)

[@bluecookiemonster3]

Mine will be ready for pick up Sunday from my local Best Buy :) Im excited! Might still buy the Theia but couldn't go longer without upgrading my V1g1

[@J.B.2]

Ordered mine and it is being shipped already. I would like that clip to attach a visor clip to it!

[@Julian-nl7vv]

I usually put my radar detectors on the dash, on an anti-slip mat, so I find this type of 90 degrees USB-C connector quite annoying; luckily it's reversible, but still...

[@Long-nd8bq]

I am going to order this to replace my V1. I could care less about stealthiness if a cop gets behind me because they are legal in my state and I live out west. Only would be worried if I lived near DC or VA. I was thinking about a Max 360 because it has arrows, but this DS1 seems to outperform it on range which is what I'm most concerned about as I like to drive my Benz fast on the freeways.

[@kevinhawthorne5257]

Thank You for all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Would It be worth it, to upgrade to the DS1 from the R3??? My R3 is amazing!!

[@lawrence5462]

Well I keep reading on the RDForum good things about the DS1. Should I wait for the R4? One reason I like the DS1 is the larger screen. Have a hard time reading my R3 and DP 360. I'd have jumped completely in if it would have had arrows. My R3 doesn't, arrows on my DP360 @least for me are hard to see. I only use my V1 G2/JBV1 for long road trips. Use my other two for short trips around town. I'll guess I'll wait and see what the R4 brings to the table. Let the enthusiasts who know their stuff and test them out, then I'll see what one I'd like to add to my collection. Patiently waiting for more testing from @Vortex on the DS1 and the R4.

[@CajunVol]

I noticed that on their website that their accessories are very pricey...hardwire with mute, magnetic mount, etc. I have the R7, R3, V1G2 and several others. I always get my curiosity up when something new comes out, but I think am going to hold out for Theia before dropping more cash for a new toy. Right now, I am well covered. I would like to see someone else besides NetRadar who can integrate my ALPs (I know they are linked) with their unit but this may not be possible to due to TM and Patents.

[@RadensoRadar]

Actually our accessories are the same price as our competitors. These accessories also actually cost us more to make than most people realize with the tooling for example of the mute button on the direct wire kit. -Randy

[@danf6975]

I went to order one from the radenso site They were all sold out at 840am cst Went to best buy and ordered . Basted off your videos

[@DadsDriveway]

Not sure if this will finally retire my R3 which is a backup to my V1 G2. Hopefully Thea will be a showstopper and not priced in the stratosphere.

[@j.ballsdeep420]

I suspect Theia is vaporware: Drum up huge hype for an innovative concept with good whitepapers byway of using the absolute edge of current generation products while taking small margins just to get your name in the game for said concept (Theia) so one of the larger, established manufactures simply buy you out for a large chunk and Jon retired at 35 without ever having to truly produce Theia. Notice how they keep using chip shortage the last two years it was suppose to be available since announcing 3 years ago, Attowave (now Uniden owned) has had troubles like everyone and supply has been slower but still existent: Radenso isn't making some brand new silicon and some new manufacturing process for making said microchips, therefore yes it could have been SLOWED, but we don't even have a fucking PROTOTYPE beyond white papers. It's vaporwave, bro: He's waiting for a buyout on his tech he's patented but I'm waiting on corporate espionage, reverse engineering, and tweaking to make it not violate patents so we can actually get the fucking tech at all.

[@johnross6314]

Anyone do actual K band testing this model at K band street acceptable settings (Max BSM quiet settings)? These days, we also need to see K band effectiveness. I secured a device from BB logistics. During the return period, intend on seeing if this is livable dealing with BSM and have decent K band. Excited to find out. Thanks for the vid. Looks like as of this time today, overall availability is almost gone.

[@juicebox22a]

I'm eight months into using this in PA. K Band is used for everything here. Construction message boards with integrated radar for speed sign display that is apparently always left on. Dedicated "your speed is..." signs. And of course state police stationary radar. I setup the Ds1 with low speed lockout, GPS lockout, and filtering. It's very quiet. The occasional Honda BSM trips it up. Inforget it's running most of the time until it alerts to a legit threat.

[@johnspooner4128]

Very informative as always! I received my DS1 today, I still have a couple of questions, I'm unable to find the sequence to get to where I can set the auto mute function and I still don't know what the bogey setting is about as you've previously made your adjustments in K and KA anyway??

[@tc1uscg65]

I've got the R7. It keeps alerting on 34.722 when I pass this one house in my sub. They don't seem to have anything in their driveway that SHOULD set off my box and no visible "devices" outside. No matter what time of day or weather, it starts alert a dozen houses in either direction. When I pass it, the arrow shifts to the rear, when next to it, it points towards the house. I'm baffled. Can't find anything online that a home owner would install that has said freq transmitting. My R3 does the same thing but my older Escort 9500ix's did not alert there. Any hint of a clue?

[@VortexRadar]

Usually it’s a home satellite dish. You can enable Ka lockouts on your R3 and R7 to lock it out.

[@tc1uscg65]

@@VortexRadar KA is used at least 80% in my area of Michigan. I'd hate to block Ka and lose that detection ability. Be nice when we can block specific freq's w/o compromising usability (or alterability). Living in a sub of 1000 homes, this is the ONLY one. And it appears to be on 24/7. Thanks for your reply.

[@dyinbreedband]

I'm curious about the degradation of the 360c's alert distance. if you go back in time to the prior tests the 360c performed better. What is causing the degradation of alert distance since a year ago? is it that now you increased KA band by two more bands (adding 4 & 6), is it the additional BSM filtering which should only impact K band response but is also impacting KA band, is it a combinaton of both? As escort continues to add BSM filtering is the 360c is it going to continue to degrade in alert distance? Hell, the Max 3 outperformed it in several runs.

[@johnross6314]

Good questions. The added segments (4&6) in prior tests does not slow the 360c down. The conventional wisdom, the fast DSP and FPGA chips and the OS, segmentation does not speep up the scan. And that the band scan is uber fast (better than Uniden with no segmentation enabled). Assuming conventional RDF community wisdom holds, adding the segments on Escort, and not the Attowave designs will not be a disadvantage. CW states does not affect Escort K band either. Now, let’s place this in reverse. The Attowave made Radenso DS-1 might slow down when adding Ka segments, and adding it’s most capable livable K band settings. With the K band set to narrow, all the K band filters on, with reduced K band sensitivity settings, in order to make the DS1 livable for BSM and other K band falsing, it might affect Ka capability. However the DS1 has faster chips. On one hand, cutting K band to narrow, could help the DS1 on Ka. Maybe.. time will tell with accurate STREET acceptable setting on K, plus a wider Ka scanning. May not hurt the DS1 enough to matter or at all. Escort has been fooling around with the 360c firmware, IMO has affected negatively street performance on K and KA. However, ALWAYS know that the red barn course hurts the 360c over others. Escort decided to narrow the width of reception on the M4 style antenna on the Max 360/360c in order to reduce signals coming on from off angles. May help it stay quiet on super highways and still have good top tier range. However, on curvy wooded non guardrail reflection roads, 360 platform will never be close to the top players.

[@ROrneli]

Rdd immunity is disappointing. If driving in commercial vehicle and if officer is driving along side with you he will detect you and then you busted.

Not true, most of them do not have the sensitivity at maximum because a RDD will false alert just as a radar detector would. With our Spectre Elite testing, we had to hold out the detector of the window for it to be detected for a split second.

[@sandsmarc]

Too expensive. Not stealth. There is no “almost” stealth. It’s like partially pregnant. No arrows. No rear antenna. If it were $250 it might be a value, but not at $400. The extra Ka sensitivity is meaningless, since every detector in this price range is more than sensitive enough for real world driving conditions. If one has 2,400ft range and another has 3,200ft range, who cares? 2,400ft is more than enough. At some point too much range yields false alerts from actual radar guns that are in the area but not a threat.

No deal with them. It’s a common kneejerk reaction people have when they disagree with various online reviewers. I’m glad you guys are thinking for yourselves, even if your opinion is different than mine. I’d rather see people do that than blindly accepting my opinions without considering their own needs. :)

I’d be happy to do more whenever they like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHXRfmuraZeaiK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqxh5psjdF8q68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKK9galqYrWGl68 I always do a series of videos when there’s a new detector. This is normal. When another company launches a new product, you can expect the same thing with a series of tests and videos about the next new hot thing too.

@@VortexRadar thanks for being fair and honest with your opinions. Only wish that the RDFourm had been the same way with me instead of banning me. But I still have an unbiased opinions from you. Thanks again. 😊

DjDomi Vortex is fine, dj. He gave us the relevant information and we can decide if the detector is a value. I don’t see it at $400, but I would if it were $250, maybe $300. It’s a bit odd that they have chips for this release, but not for Theia. But I guess they used more common lower tech chips for this one that are more available. Which should also cause a more reasonable price, but didn’t.

Smartphones should be able to act like a radar detector.

They don’t have a horn to receive radar signals.
