There are better detectors available

Pros Few false alarms
Cons Laser detection awful; very short range on Ka-band
Recommended it? No
The Bottom Line:  Do not get this detector, unless you enjoy being caught by speed traps!! Nothing makes a traffic cop's day better than getting a flyer using a detector!
I bought this radar detector because of its purported claim to have rearward detection capability as well as Laser detection capability.

I cannot attest to whether the rearward detection works, but I can claim unequivicolly that the Laser detection IS AWFUL!! I've traveled past cops firing their laser gun and the device rarely registers a tick. I sent the unit back to Uniden for repair noting this failure. I got a nice note back stating that nothing was wrong with my detector, and perhaps I had "deployed the device in an improper fashion."

Sure...

Another problem with this detector is that it is not long-range responsive on Ka-band; the unit would not respond until I was right on top of the speed trap.

I shelved this unit and ponied up the bucks for a Valentine One. The Valentine is superb is every respect. I've jotted down my opinion of the Valentine in a different article.


My advice: DO NOT BUY THIS RADAR DETECTOR!!! IF YOU DO BUY IT, THEN GIVE IT TO YOUR FORMER SPOUSE!!!
