R8w

This thing is great. Its a tattletale it will alert you of EVURRYTHANG. you can disable certain bands and set up automutes and all that stuff manually. It comes with an app at this time I havent had time to play with it. I got my R8 stuck it on the dash and rolled with it in the first day it alerted me to chp that were lurking in shoulders or medians looking for quota tickets. This is a must have if you drive long distances. Of you have the means to buy this model DO IT. if you’re on a budget get the R4 the only difference is R4 only alerts you of radar but not what direction it is coming from like the R8. All in all its worth the money and the way things are going its gonna go up in price with inflation. The package arrived when it said it would and the contents inside were well packaged to protect from package delivery driver or warehouse worker abuse.

I’m only 16 days in, so this isn’t a long term durability review, but it’s already clear the Uniden R8w is a serious piece of gear. I drive a mix of highway and suburban roads, and my main concern was false alerts. So far, it’s been surprisingly well behaved.

I like getting the directional indicators of the radar source. I also like the stored muting ability. Still learning some of the nuanced capabilities
