Just bought the R8. Much better reviews than the redline 360.

The R8 is also great if your state uses K band.

That's some fantastic detection. How often do you get false positives?

I've never experienced a false KA detection. For K band, most automatic doors will false, but they can be easily locked out. BSM falses aren't bad with my settings (mainly by lowering rear K sensitivity). Additionally, with Highway Radar blocking 24.120 - 24.125, long drives can be very quiet.

Don't know where u live but be careful with blocking .120 to .125, police K band Raptors and Falcons can operate in this range, although so do Mazda CX-5 Bsm's(24.123-24.124).@@AmandaM9

Why block these frequency bands? Are these not freqs used by speed-sensing radar?

Been using my R8 for years now and the only time it failed me was when they weren't running radar but a dragoneye xD

Did you have to tweak the settings heavily? Or does it work good on Auto mode out of the box? I have a Uniden R8 Extreme Long Range, and in Florida.

I used a slightly modified version of Vortex Radar’s settings. I essentially followed along with what he setup, then adjusted it for my own region

I just got the unhiden r8. I realized mostly cops is the KA band one. But I keep getting false detection, it’s so annoying any fix to it ? Also when police are running radar, is it only KA band or could it be the others, the x and the rest. I don’t really know much about radar detectors.

Watch the KZitem channel “Vortex Radar” he will explain everything. But for some short notes. Turn off X band, K band is a mix of false alerts and cops (depending on your region), and KA band is always a cop

Yeah, it is actually pretty common for radar units that are mounted inside cop cars to have two transmitters, one for the front and one for the back.

Most major dash mount 2 antenna radar guns with is called "SL" or same processing. Some work better than others. If you can find of copy "Drivers Guide to Police Radar" by Craig Peterson or do an online search and you can download a copy. Same Lane is great when it works. I read police blogs, etc and some offers either don't know about it or they simply don't want to bother it. Being in this cat and mouse battle, you have to know about what your going up against as well as your own equipments performance and limitations. I've ran a detector and back in the day a cb radio. I did quite a bit of driving. Through 3 states. So far🫰 only citations by state patrols. I can even remember the model of each unit's radar. Lol, Years ago the most difficult radars to pick up were low power X-Band and K-band. Thank goodness our team was pretty sharp as well. As far as hitting you once they've passed you especially when moving is not that common. Why I like the arrows. I give them a chance to hit me one more time and watch their tale lights then I move on. Hope the gibberish of an old guy gave you some was of some value. Safe travels

How were you able to detect so far? My range is high yet detects late

A lot of it has to due with the conditions of that road. It’s almost perfectly flat and straight, little traffic, and barely anything to obstruct the signal. An average detection for me on a highway would be between 1-2miles. For city driving closer to 0.6-1mile
