So like in my last test, the DS1 did excellent in this test too, managing to get the longest range overall detections on all 3 Ka frequencies. Overall AveragesĪnd then if we look at the average of all 3 radar frequencies for all the different detectors, here’s how things looked overall: The K40’s performance was so bad that as a sanity check, I ran one more DS1 run immediately afterwards and that 4th run was right around that same main terrain limited location alongside the other detectors. The Pro M’s alerts were shorter still while the K40 basically got C/Owned, giving no useful advanced warning. The DS1 managed one alert just after the red barn. There still were several detection zones though. Things were pretty terrain limited on 35.5. ![]() ![]() 35.5ģ5.5 was tough and I got the shortest detections of the day here. This one was a little closer overall, but the DS1 still managed the win with its consistently strong detections. ![]() □ 34.7ĭS1 and V1 Gen2 ran basically neck and neck here, able to give long range detections every time. Either way, zooming out and looking at the big picture across lots of runs, I think the trend with the DS1 will continue to be clear. I do think that it had some influence with occasionally preventing detectors from getting longer range detections, but that’s the same as every other time I’ve tested here. Traffic was light but present throughout the day. In fact every run with the DS1 was longer than the very best runs with any other detector. A few detectors managed to do it once, but only the DS1 managed to do it every time. It was tough this time and detectors struggled to alert shortly after the red barn. With that said, let’s get into the results. The radar gun was set up in a pretty challenging way, tucked behind some thick foliage.Ĭruise control was locked at 40mph for all the runs, only slowing down to turn around behind the radar car. The full discussion is available here on RDF. Traffic was light, weather was sunny, and temps were 69-75F throughout the day. For that reason I headed back to the red barn course and spent the day running the DS1 against some of the competition, a reduced number of detectors this time so I could 33.8, 34.7, & 35.5. Was its performance a fluke? Does it perform well on all bands? What if it only did well on that last course? Did traffic give the DS1 an unfair win? Are the results repeatable?Įither way, I really wanted to get some more test results in, especially before launch so that we can all have a better understanding of how it performs. I've seen a few used R3's locally.is there anything to watch out for? Old/bad firmware, common failure points like the power port or inability to find a signal, etc? I've been using the same relic of a.radar detector since graduating in '93 but I ALWAYS use Waze just to be sure.So after posting my initial test results with the Radenso DS1 where it did great, people had a bunch of questions and I did too. I'm actually interested in their R4 as well. And I've tweaked it so that falsing is non existent. I stuck with BEL or Escort because they worked and saved me countless of tickets! And I tend to be "brand loyal".Įver since I've owned my current R3 and updated the firmware a handful of times, it has worked FLAWLESSLY! It never let's me down. I think I got my first Detector in the early 90s, a BEL or Escort. Keep in mind, I've been driving since 1988 since High School. But my habits had taught me to simply slow down no matter what until the threat was no more. It was effective and the arrows were intriguing. I borrowed a friend's for a couple of weeks while he was traveling to see if I should invest in one at the time. I have heard the praises of "arrows" for yeasts and years when Valentine was the only Detector with them. Sounds like the consensus is to find a nicely used R3.
