Big Fan

I was a big fan but after getting two SE (?) units , my unit was stopped being made. Wonder why.

Sadly, hardware comes and goes, and it is a bad thing for city dumps. I won't pounce on V1 fans, but Valentine's sales pitch is buy the hardware and we'll update the hardware with software forever. This is not how things are done in the real world of "Spy vs Spy." Technology and hardware evolve quickly, and to keep pace you'll have to shell out for new hardware about every 4 years. Sux, but it's the hard knocks of rd tech.

I just bought a second DFR5 for a friends car. The DFR5 is also known as the LRD750. It's the cat's meow without LNA (low noise amplification). LNA is essentially additional circuits that boost a distant weak signal allowing the chipset further analysis of a signal. The problem with LNA is it's slow, taking extra samples to make a determination of a friend or foe signal.

In your position I'd try a DFR5 while they still exist. You want the skinny, Google LRD750 and read the Amazon reviews. Sadly, Amazon only has DFR6 reviews in the DFR5 purchase room, where the DFR5 is now $99.85. Visions.ca currently has these gem's for $200.00. Go figure.

Have fun!

Keep in mind current Radenso product is being manufactured by Ottawave, now owned exclusively by Uniden America who has made it clear, they are saving the best techological developments for themselves.

We consider the Uniden R4 the natural (and higher performing) radar detector counterpart to the current Radenso DS1.

The Radenso DS1 has a novel USB-C power connection, which could be very helpful to those having vehicles with only those power output connections (such as the Corvette C8), however in terms of sheer performance and capabilities, the Uniden R4 is a bit better, quite honestly.

You can learn about current alternative with our following summary radar detector review at RadarBusters.com
