    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.

    I bought this device 2 moths ago and very happy. Working very well. Detecting state troopers and sheriffs 1.3-1.5 miles before. Auto muting false signals when you driving second time on same road.
