    To be honest the fact that it has long range is kind of a nuisance unless you live literally in the country. Otherwise it’s just false alerts after false alerts because of the sensitivity. Drove 2k miles with it and am going back to the escort 360c mkii because of the fact that it has users constantly uploading and the clarity of the UI on the radar detector itself is easier to understand. The uniden did its just, but I’d say it was definitely more of a hassle to filter than escort.

    The radar detector does a great job. It is very sensitive and gives you ample warning pretty far out.
