    The uniden r8 is learning my routes canceling alerts that are not actual radar alerts. Its been two weeks and i feel the uniden is homing in on perfection for my daily use Thank you .

    So far has been pretty good, it’s learning areas I drive and already muting some of the door radars that set it off. It’s a bit noisy in town until it’s starts to learn, but much quieter after it does learn your area. And the distance it picks up KA and K is just nuts. Has to be miles on the interstate.

    I previously had the R7 and when it needed to be replaced, I went with another Uniden and the R8 model. It has everything you want in detection including new photo radar detection just coming to the US. Easy to set up and looking forward to updated software and features in the Future

    Great radar detector. GPS works well in muting known spots and letting me know something is coming up. The direction indicators have been a game changer for me and the range has been incredible.

    Best Radar detector on the market. Extreme range and bsm filtering. It does take a little to get it setup but after you have the bands segmented it quiets down a lot
