I saw! Yet-another LIAR about their product..or just ignorant. Excellent review.
Thanks Roy....Marty
I've been testing the new Uniden ALL day today and really surprised about a few things. Actually does ok with the Spectre as long as it is further away then 35 feet. Also one weird thing, if I shoot our ATR Ka band gun within 5 feet of the Uniden it will not detect it.

Another comprehensive, professional review.
What I took away is that it is suspect as to it's more aggressive claims, but not a phony useless brick, and likely worth about that $193.00 that it can be had for.
Except for the CS part. That gives me pause.
I have to question whether they realized with whom they were dealing.
If they did, if they were cognizant of who Roy Reyer is, then...that's like answering the phone and hearing "Hi, this is Chris Hansen with To Catch A Predator, and I'd like to ask you a few questions...".
Time to hunker down, go turtle, head for the potato cellar...
But if they didn't, if this is what Joe Lunchbucket is going to run into...
Hmmm...seems like they offer "Customer Service", but not "Customer Satisfaction", right Roy?
Ride safe,

35 feet is actually very good, IMO.
The failing to alert to what amounts to essentially a point blank range shot may be a situation where the signal strength is too strong and exceeds the dynamic range of the unit. When that happens a detector may not alert.
Saw this years ago with a V1.

Roy, you were testing it against the Spectre 1 and 4, when clearly the manual said it was invisible to the Spectra
I'm glad to see Uniden back in the game, as there was a time when Uniden actually made good detectors. I remember in the mid-80's when they had the RD-9 (which believe it or not was a clone of the Cobra3160, which was also marketed to RadioShack as their own RoadPatrol XK) In fact, Car&Driver magazine ranked these units pretty favorably compared to the then champ Passport.
Later on Uniden came out with the RD9xl, which had great performance in the day in a super small package. In fact I recall it winning a C&D detector comparison.

Bob, I agree, 30 feet is pretty damn good, I was shocked!

We have done so much testing out here this week that Escort Live determined that we are a speed trap location <grin>

We did a bunch of other tests this weekend with the Uniden LRD950 and on Constant on K and Ka it did ok, ranked along with the Whistler CR90.
One thing, this is NOT a $399 radar detector, it should sell in the area of $199 to $225 perhaps....
