New & Updated Radar Detectors as of October 2024

[@goaski474]

My first radar detector was the Fuzz Buster 2+2, man did we have a blast with it!. Then the Escort, V1 and now the V1G2. Mike is a legend, the industry will surely miss him.

[@rustyricky6684]

Oh no!!! Mike passed away?!?! I haven’t looked at radar detectors or anything recently!! Not since I got my Uniden R8

[@tyranelewis7763]

Yes, I would love to see the V1 interview. The V1 was my first high end detector and at that time in the late 80s it was the best. RIP Mr. Valentine.

[@brandtharen]

I'd love to see a video on the history of Cincinnati Microwave and the early development of radar detectors. My first experience only started with the original Escort Passport Solo.

[@g.k.1669]

I still have my original Escort from 1985 and used it in my 1970 Chevelle. That thing saved me from a lot of trouble back then.

[@SustainableDreams]

YES! Interview!!! Very interested

[@ZboeC5]

Definitely want to see that interview. 77Ghz is where the WABCO collision warning systems on class 8 (semi) trucks operate. These systems constantly transmit and tell the driver the speed of the vehicle in front of it at all times. These systems have been standard equipment on the most popular OTR trucks sold in the US, including the Freightliner Cascadia, Volvo VNLs and Kenworth T680. That'll be fun to try to filter out.

[@saltysteel3996]

That's above Ka band. No radar detector should even alert to that.

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Why would 77Ghz be difficult for an RD to filter? That's nowhere near the bands used for speed enforcement.

Thanks for the update. Glad you covered the custom firmware for the R7. I love it.

[@karolissabaliauskas7138]

I have had the Genevo LT One Plus M for a long-time. A great Radar Detector. Since the Launch of Guard77, thinking about updating my radar detector to that one. In my country, unmarked police cars have started using Turkish technology (W band) that my current radar detector cannot catch. If all the tests and calibrations with the Guard77 are going to work, definitely going to upgrade mine. Police thought they were slick, well, Genevo backfired at them :)))

[@mqueue00]

Thank you for the usual great content! I'm left SMH that the flagship R8 is lagging the update curve, and after handing over multiple hundreds of dollars, hearing that there will be a new version that gets the updates, I'm left extremely put off by Uniden. A new release does not mean my investment should be disregarded. The R7 gets hooked up, but the R8 abandoned? Ugh

More detectors need to add Bluetooth. There are so many reasons for this! My two main reasons are 1) for motorcycle use so I can hear the warnings inside my helmet. If you want to go really tech one that would synch and work with heads up displays that you can get in certain helmets. 2) when in my car I would like them to connect to my ear pieces, so my passengers don’t have to hear it or obvious interruption of a conversation between passengers and myself.

Question. Would a magnet affect how a radar detector functions? I bought one from a buddy and he lost the mount that came with it so he used a magnetic phone mount and put one of the metal plates that come with it on the bottom of the detector and that’s how he had it in his car. Would that affect anything? I ordered a hardwire kit and looking at a mirror mount

Yeah there’s an issue with Sequioa, but Uniden is working on a fix for it with updated update software.

[@bobbyoberoi4090]

Question ??? I updated Uniden R7 (hardware 1.1.1) using Firmware 1.47 bug fix version previously. Should I update to newly released firmware 1.51? What are the differences?

[@robertcrouch7328]

I have an older valentine V1 and suffer with tons of false alerts in town, but on the highway it’s amazing… but false alerts on cars with side mirrors radar and some vehicles keep sending out their rear radar always. I missed the opportunity a few years ago to send it in for 100 bucks and get it totally updated. They’ve done away with that. It cost prohibitive as is the price of a V2. I wish there was a way to add some apps to make it more versatile for me. I have the remote display and I catch the power in my glove box.

[@lyfandeth]

But you're still recommending the Uniden R8 as best of all?

[@davepartlow6430]

I just plugged my Uniden R7 in to check for updates and it's still on version 146, not 151 as you stated. Did I hear you wrong? Is the 151 version a third party undate?

Great channel, love your videos! I can't seem to find one video comparing the volume of the different detectors. Based on the advice you gave in one of your videos, I purchased the R3 but it's not very loud. Any advice on, or do you have any videos comparing the volume of the alerts? Thanks!!

[@VortexRadar]

That’s not something I’ve ever compared. You can compare max volumes, how easy alerts are to hear over the music, reliability (some speakers used to blow when run at max volumes for extended periods of time), use apps to pipe out audio to other sources, etc. Just not something I’ve ever wanted to devote time to. Lots of other people could do that if they wanted though.

[@omarnokaira5518]

[@Grizzly50450]

So here's a problem I had with my Redline 360c last month. I was cruising down I-90w in New York close to the Pennsylvania state line when a New York State Trooper shot me with laser. The radar detector never even made a peep, didn't go crazy and say laser like it normally does, never detected it. I had been down in Alabama about 2 weeks earlier and I was hit with laser more than once and it went off every time. Now I understand that when I get shot with laser without laser jammers they already have my speed before I can slow down, but the notice is always nice. I had never been shot with laser in NY (or at least to my knowledge) up until this point. But the detector not going off kind of screwed me because I couldn't see the trooper as he was bush whackin and I never even slowed down. Caused me to get a ticket for 81mph in a 65mph zone. So that was nice... makes me want to get rid of the Escort and get a Uniden. I have over $1,000 in this detector because I had it sent in for repair about a month before this. So I just gave them $230 to fix a non detection problem coming from the rear. Then A MONTH later it doesn't alert me to laser. I am NOT impressed right now. Makes me wonder if this is some new kind of laser gun that it can't detect? Ticket says I was hit with a laser model Tru-Speed. I can't even get ahold of Escort over this problem. I call their customer support and it goes to voicemail. My rant is over I am just annoyed when I have well over a thousand dollars into a radar detector that is supposed to have laser detection then it doesn't detect laser. Oh and I have 3 of these things, awesome.

[@VortexRadar]

Sorry you’re finding out the hard way but radar detectors are the wrong tool for laser. What you experienced is very common. You need a laser jammer to go with your radar detector.

[@Grizzly50450]

@@VortexRadar Yeah but still should alert me and say I was hit no? It always has in the past. I am putting money into laser jammers after this for sure though.

[@printingwithpeek4897]

@PeakedHill No it shouldn't have. A laser and a sound wave are two separate modes of transfer. You have no idea of what you're talking about.

[@bwxmoto]

I bought two DS1s when they first came out. They are nice little detectors and work well but I'm pretty miffed about the lack of support and updates from Radenso. If I had known they would basically just disappear after releasing them I would have gone with Uniden. I won't ever buy another Radenso product after all the talk about future features and updates and then basically ghosted all their customers. For instance they said they planned on a FW update to allow you to run the detector upside down so you could use the top mounting hole on the bottom which would be great for the one on my bike. That update never came and probably never will now.

REGARDING THE VALENTINE ONE PRODUCT: I own a V1G1 and want to upgrade to V1G2. I sent an e-mail to Valentine One with a rather complex question(s). That was a week ago. No reply. Nobody answers the phone there either. I understand that the entire company personnel are mourning. Maybe somebody here can reply. These questions have to do with those YOUR SPEED radar-equipped signs along the side of the road. Between my home and my workplace, there are 15! Six are facing one way and 9 are facing the other way. So during my commute to work, for example, I get 6 false alarms with an up arrow, plus 9 false alarms with a down arrow, and the opposite indications during the drive home. Very frustrating. And it gives me "alarm fatigue", which could set the stage for being pulled over. That's because once in a while a police car is parked nearby one of these YOUR SPEED signs, or halfway between two of these YOUR SPEED signs. Alarm fatigue would definitely result in being pulled over. Can the V1G2 eliminate all the YOUR SPEED signs detection alarms during my commute? I am guessing that here's how that could be accomplished . . . My presumption is that the V1G2, along with a 3rd party cellphone app, can do this as follows (I'm only speculating). First, the locations of these YOUR SPEED signs are all known, fixed positions. So GPS coordinates can be determined. Second, and this is were I am really guessing . . . each YOUR SPEED sign emits a slightly different radar frequency, so the adjacent YOUR SPEED signs don't get "confused". And also presumably, any police near YOUR SPEED signs can manually adjust their radar to a different frequency in order to trap a driver who is ignoring the YOUR SPEED signs. I believe the 3rd party cellphone app will display the frequency of the radar being detected. If the YOUR SPEED signs locations and frequencies are meticulously entered into the 3rd party cellphone app, then perhaps all 15 signs along my route can be made "invisible" to the V1G2. Only the police radar will then trigger the V1G2. I doubt the YOUR SPEED signs radar frequency gets changed ever. That's my other assumption. Am I close to being correct? If so, then I will trade up. If not, then I cannot justify the expense. I've got a BlendMount, and rearview mirror tap for power. I am very serious about this. Thank you for reading and for commenting! Another question just arose. These YOUR SPEED signs seem to emit multiple simultaneous radar frequencies. Whenever I approach one, my V1G1 shows between 2 and 4 on the Bogey Counter. When there is one YOUR SPEED sign on the left side of the road and another on the right side of the road, the Bogey Counter displays between 4 and 8! How might this impact my intended plan of entering all the GPS coordinates and radar frequencies of every YOUR SPEED sign along my commute in order to make them all "invisible" to the V1G2 (should I purchase one)? Thanks everyone. I hope the Mr. Valentine's family and his ValentineOne family are all OK. Best wishes to everyone.

In NZ, we suffer from this same issue being a RHD country, but you can still use the likes of the V1 Gen 1 & 2 and the Uniden R7 & R8 and it's still completely legible reading the displays albeit a bit inconvenient.

I don’t understand what part of adding a kblock for the Mazda cx5 took the R7 team like 4 years. Is it more complicated than just writing If(freq. = CX5kblockRange) Then don’t alert

Think I saw you on screen at a recent sporting event in Vancouver. Go sounders

[@VortexRadar]

lol yeah that was me! Went up for the Sounders / White Caps game. We were I guess some of only a few Sounders fans there and they kept scoring so they showed us cheering lol.

Can you test the Neoline 8700 S

[@VortexRadar]

It’s funny how whenever I mention anything about international detectors, and even if I explicitly say that I don’t test or review them because they don’t make sense here, I get lots of requests to do so anyways. I really wish more people would take the initiative to test and share info like that. I can’t do everything for everyone, even if I wanted to.
