Does anyone here have experience with them? On a recent day trip I could have easily gotten a speeding ticket from a local city cop in the small town we visited. He was hidden and monitoring traffic from a small business as we were leaving town. I was going about 8 mph over in a 35 mph zone. Luckily he stayed put but I got to thinking how much a speeding ticket costs considering how it affects one’s insurance. I had an old Whistler Q2000 back in the day and it saved me many times over the years. I’m shocked at the amount of technology in these tiny devices nowadays. Having said that it won’t detect the newer Lidar signals until you’ve been had. Same with laser signals unless someone around you gets targeted first and your detector picks it up. We travel into Virginia often where detectors have been illegal for decades but it has a cloaking feature that ‘supposedly’ makes it invisible to LEO’s. It has a gps feature that automatically minimizes and remembers false signals from automatic door openers, proximity detectors in vehicle’s etc. So…I bought a Uniden R4 detector from Sam’s Club for $289 but have yet to mount/use it.
I’ll more than likely just Velcro it to the dash and use the factory default settings until I get a better understanding of all of its features, then mount it via a wire tap mount to my powered rear view mirror. Does anybody here have any experience with RD’s especially the newer models? I’m aware they’re not perfect but if it saves me once it’s more than likely worth the cost of admission.
