^ Vortex for sure is the authority on radar detectors. I have a Valentine 1, Max 360 and the Uniden R3 on each of my vehicles. The R7 for sure is the latest and greatest and has similar performance to the R3 with the added benefit of directional arrows. While I love the V1 it’s a bit long in the tooth and is actually (out of stock according to Valentines website) lot’s of rumors as to why that is...
Each radar has their quirks. I use the Uniden R3 in the Raptor with Blendmount and may upgrade to the R7 down the road as I like the directional arrows. For me a radar is a no brainer, but isn’t a substitute for common sense, safety and responsibility.
