Just an update on the R7: I just had the craziest, most insane encounter yet. There was this state trooper on a interstate highway with forward facing radar. Not only he was at the end of the bend and completely out of my sight [due to trees], but he was also facing my direction of travel, making it impossible to clock me until I passed his cruiser that was parked on a shoulder. The R7 caught his signal just as I was approaching up a small hill and heading towards the bend, which then after that, a stretch [which he was at]. I had like more than half a mile of detection from a 100% off-axis [if that's the right choice of words] police radar. That was insane. Well worth the $600 so far.

My R7 should be here tomorrow. Even though I am a retired police officer, traffic officer and small town chief of police I still need one. Why?? Although we need actual peace keeping and public safety officers, LEO's now days will write a traffic citation, especially a speeding ticket to anyone for any reason. Perhaps todays police departments need more money, and this is one of the ways it funnels the money into its budget. I even received a citation recently because one of my vehicles supposedly went around a school bus while its flashers were on. NEVER! I was at funeral when this happened and I have letters from everyone at the funeral stating that I wasn't even at that location police said I was at. I even have supportive computer/GPS evidence supporting my innocence. Folks, even as a career police/traffic officer I highly recommend that everyone with a vehicle get as much protection as possible for your drive. Things have changed in the profession of LE. I have little or no trust in the system. Protect yourselves!

Sad to hear. The new rule today is to avoid all police. Many suggest to pull off the road into a strip mall until the police vehicle has passed. You don't want to be their next target for any reason. It is well known that they are looking for revenue instead of serving and protecting. I have run the V1 for many years and it has served me very well. The problem areas seem to be the 25mph zones where I have seen a lot of radar in Ohio, Mi and Illinois. In Chicagoland with out of state plates, I have been tailgated for miles hoping that I would exceed local speed limits.

I ran an original SOLO for may years back in the 90s. I traveled so much it was convenient for rental cars and actually made me aware of many speed traps. I must have consumed a room full of 9vdc batteries over those years. But they became outdated for aggressive driving and I switched to the V1 in early 2000. What a difference. My first time out I was tracking moving radar behind me and stationary radar in front. I could see where the threats were and drive accordingly. Enjoyed your video. Few in industry can test and chart results in such a clear manner.

SMH the Batman detector..... buddy of mine bought one and was all up in my grille about it on how I paid waaaaay too much for my R1's. I just smiled and said nothing more than "just you wait".... possession of a radar detector is illegal in my province in Canuckistan. he got nailed at 120 in an 80 zone with low power k band {know this because I was travelling and few cars behind him} so he got an almost $410+ speeding ticket and I think almost $697 for detector possession because he was so shocked he forgot to pull the unit off the dash when he got pulled over, plus other hidden fines such as court fees and fees to get your license back etc etc. LoL. not to mention the massive points he lost and he has to appear in court too... cannot just pay--you gotta show up.... why people cheap out on radar detetctors I'll never understand. the way I figure it the first save it has paid for itself!

As an engineer I also understand the 'anomalies' created by rain or high humidity, foliage, even 'time of day' affect on high frequencies. You do an excellent job of attempting to understand the possible 'differences' that occur. Thank you.

The price is coming down on the R7 now that it’s been out for a few years to replace my trusty R3 that I bought after seeing a review here against the detector I was running at the time. I like the R4 but it’s only slightly better on range and for $50 more I can get arrows that help identify multiple threats I encounter in my regular drives. I have been watching these older review videos before I pull the trigger on it and I’m curious about the remote mount just for a clean installation but I can’t really justify the cost over a windshield mount. I enjoy your channel and unbiased reviews and they are still relevant even years later.

I'm coming from an old valentine one because mine is from 2008 and has no bsm filtering and looking to upgrade. I would love it if you were able to figure out an even semi quantifiable test to compare bsm filtering. As that is important to me and I'm sure tons of others. Unfortunately the only way I have been able to test this myself is run multiple at a time......

Thanks for another great video! I currently run the R3 and love it but really want the arrows. Any idea whether Uniden will come out with a new detector with auto-lockouts when Escort's patent expires (2020 maybe?)? I'm trying to decide whether to jump in now with the R7 or wait for the version with auto-lockouts. Would auto-lockouts (if Uniden ever does get them) just be a software update with the R7 or would it require new hardware, i.e. a new detector altogether?
@VortexRadar

I believe the patent expires in June or so of this year. Autolockouts will be available via a software update. Apparently the code is already written. We're just waiting on the patent to expire so Uniden can release the update.

I found the Uniden DRF9 units on sale for 199.00 and decided to order 2 of them. One for me and one for the wife. We are replacing a Beltronics 945 and an Escort S55. both of these units are older and just don't seem to have good performance. I drive through radar traps all the time with each and they never make a sound, however they will pick up every Honda, Acura, and grand caravan and Audi on the street. I am hoping these newer units will serve us well for many years. these units can become very expensive trying to keep up with current tech. Do these have any capabilities or do you have a recommended setup for these for driving in a large City. (Houston) i also drive out of the city to smaller towns as well. Thanks

Thanks for long waited review. Beautiful selections of the detectors and radars. As you noted long range is not everything, especially in urban environment. I would say we have two candidates for the crown. Uniden can have it when it will have Auto GPS Lockups and better K- band filtering or Escort can have if it improves long range performance. I'm sure Escort is cooking something as you are reviewing all that, their last major release was quit long ago. I'm sure Red Line with arrows and improved logic is not far away...

@Vortex Radar Does it matter where on the windshield you mount the detector height wise? I personally don't like mounting my V1G1 on the glass, but instead clip it onto the passenger sunshade while propping the shade so the detector hangs down level and fires right thru the front and rear glass. Would like to know in your experience if this influences detection at all with having it closer to the roof of the vehicle.

@ Vortex Radar - This is the first Vortex video that I've watched and I thought that I saw broadcast antennas on your test route. Broadcast signals, by virtue of signal strength and despite being at a much lower frequency, can cause many poorly-designed receivers to overload and could explain the erratic behavior on several detectors during several of the tests. Just something to consider during testing...

No test of the "new" V1?? I am still dubious as to its availability?? One important point needs to be made: In most cases, 34.7 and 35.5 are the most important radar guns to be concerned with. Few departments run MPH 33.8 anymore as it's becoming somewhat a unicorn. Again, in most cases, YMMV. For example, CA is primarily 34.7 and lidar, so you want a detector there that rocks on 34.7. 16:15 shows LEO pulling up.

I returned mine I got from Best Buy before they shut down the sales. It was almost double the R3. Mazda, GMC honda's and Acuras. R7 big city with Kband may find you are annoyed kinda like the V1 but currently without a way to turn off rear K band. If you want great BSM get a Radenso they seem to have that nailed down almost. Check out rdforum.org for detailed Reviews and real videos.

I currently have the Escort Redline and love it. I’ve had it for about 2-3yrs now and just sent it in for service 2 months ago so it’s basically back to new. However, I’m liking the R7. Does the R7 use the same power connection as the Redline? The phone jack type? I have it hard wired and would love to be able to swap out detectors without rewiring. Thanks for your help!! Great review!!

Yep, same connector. Just make sure you're using a regular Escort power cable and not an Escort Live cable. Otherwise you can use your existing wiring.

Hey bud, Great stuff. I'm buying a fast car and I have a cdl tractor trailer license and I need the best of the best laser and radar combination. I live here in Connecticut and if you could tell me what I should buy for my car would be awesome. Don't care about saving money. I just want the best of the best. Thanks for all you do keeping us safe.

I didn't realize how much time this would take, I been checking day after day for your results on the red barn and this is amazing!! Two questions was the v1 on sweeps ? And can you test if the v1 and R7 interfere on opposite sides of the windshield.
@VortexRadar
@VortexRadar 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah just editing the video took me a week. This stuff takes a LOT of work to do... The V1 was set up with standard 2/5/8 type sweeps. All the settings are posted in the chart with all the run distances. I will not be doing any interference testing.

I have the Uniden R3 and looking to purchase the new R7, and I’m curious if the mounts are interchangeable between the R3 and R7? My R3 is mounted with a Blend-mount and I wonder if I can just use it on the R7 or will I need to buy another Blend-mount? *edit* Just saw your other video covering this question. Thank you for the vid! Btw, your reviews are pretty awesome. It was your reviews that convinced me to buy both the Max360c and the Uniden R3 so I can compare them to each other. Unfortunately the Max360c I received was defective (which I returned) and I stayed with the Uniden R3.
