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!
@wattsenough5 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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?

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 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.

Can the R7 give you a warning for the laser gun as well?
