    Truly works. If you are in the market for a radar detector, then you know the bit money spent now is worth the money you might lose later. Don’t cheap out and spend money on a detector that doesn’t work.

    Upgraded from my R3. Love the directional arrows that signal is coming from. I thought my R3 was great for filtering false alerts, this R8 is AWESOME . Little bigger than R3, but not that noticable.

    works good has a long range picks up radar sometimes before the waze even shows police on map not just the 1/4 mile for the waze audio. Seems to have longer range than my Escort redline 360 did and it was real good until the power cable went out.

    Good to have as a backup in case you don’t realize you’re going over the speed limit. As a trucker I can’t get any tickets so it helps keep yourself driving responsibly. It does give off more false ka band alert than the R3 but it has better range.

    i came from the uniden r7 and i could tell there was a difference in range between the r7 and r8. It had saved me from countless tickets in a span of 2 months.

    The detector can be little chatty but if you pair with an app, the detector really quiets down. It has saved me numerous times.

    It does a pretty good job. I do like that i can mute it from the plug. Pretty cool that it can auto mute locations that have been deemed false. I would definitely recommend
