Yes, stalker earns a score of 34. The dfr 9 detects 34 out of seven radar units. Radar with seven bands.
It has saved me from getting tickets a few times in California, where there are highway patrol officers stationed all over the freeways. If they use KA like they do here, it gives me a mile warning ahead of time and allows me to adjust to sense k band sensitivity. It is strongly advised that one be kept in each vehicle.
To answer your question, my unit has a tight fit as well. My guess is that the manufacturer intended it to be snug so it doesn't come loose over time, even though I check it from time to time; the silver prongs on the side of the adapter, in my opinion, are the reason for such a tight fit. br>It's nothing to be concerned about; I hope this information is useful, and best wishes for the New Year!
That appears to be a European band, as our radar detectors have only been tested in the United States and Canada. Outside of this region, we can't guarantee that they'll work.
Selected User Reviews For Uniden DFR9 Super Long Range Laser and Radar Detection, Built-In GPS for Red Light Cameras and Speed Camera Alerts, Easy to Read Full Color OLED Display
My car is equipped with a Uniden R3. The variety is incredible. I bought the DFR9 for my wife, and it has the same range as the big-name competitors, which cost $499 and up. In addition, the unit is very quiet, which my wife appreciates. It has a bright screen that is identical to the R3. The colors are vibrant and the text is simple to read. Although I'm not sure what the first reviewer is referring to, the display is crystal clear. I would strongly suggest it. At this price point, the best radar detector is available.
Radar detectors appear to be very expensive, but tickets are even more so. I drive through country roads frequently, and this will pick up radar long before I see the cops. The display is nice, and there is GPS tracking that will show you where the light cameras are. You can use the GPS to mark locations so that you are reminded whenever you are near potentially dangerous areas. There's also a GPS speed monitor with a display that shows you your current GPS accurate speed. This is a fantastic product that I would recommend to anyone. My friend has a Uniden r3, and I think this one is a little better.
It's amazing how far you can travel. I bought this little beauty a few months ago because my daily commute is about 70% highway and 30% city. False alerts are rare, and it will almost always beat the Waze Navigation app notification that "Police reported ahead. " Mounted to the windshield, it looks extremely crisp and sleek, and you can't go wrong with the variety of color and audio options. I've got anywhere from to on the highway. 5 to . A heads up for 7 miles. Without a doubt- This radar detector delivers on its promises and will undoubtedly save you from annoyances such as traffic tickets and higher insurance premiums.
My previous one was a Cobra, which was a complete disaster. So I did my research this time and discovered that this unit is the best in its price range (unless you want to spend an extra $100 for the Uniden R3, which has a longer range). ) I chose to mount it with the suction cup mount that came with it, and the power cord has a built-in mute button. I'd prefer it to be hardwired into my rearview mirror, but I can live with the cord for now because it plugs in from the passenger side, and it's very easy to set up with a crystal clear screen display. Everything from the sensitivity of the band detection to speed alerts, color display, volume, and brightness can be customized. It comes with a nice hard case, as well as a power cord and a USB cable for updating. Because some reviews said the silver reflected against the windshield, I went with the black unit instead of the silver. The suction cup holds the unit firmly in place and it does not bounce around; it is light in weight but not cheap. I'm very happy with it overall. It doesn't send out a lot of false alerts, it has voice alerts for red light cameras and all of the bands, it doesn't beep incessantly, and it doesn't distract me while I'm driving. Although it isn't a $500 escort, it performs similarly.
It's been about 2 years since I've had it. It's only been three weeks, and it's already helped me save at least five tickets. I'm actually surprised at how accurate this is; my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner.
Over the years, I've owned a number of detectors. When it came time to upgrade, I did a thorough investigation of the market. Uniden outperforms the competition and provides excellent performance at a reasonable price. I went with the DFR9 because it is the company's most recent model. The features are excellent, with just enough gimmicks to keep things interesting. I put one in my car and the other on my motorcycle, and a speed bump in my neighborhood provided the perfect testing environment. I did several passes with both vehicles, and on the approach, the detectors chirped reliably well before reaching the marker device; on the way away from the device, the detectors chirped again, giving good rear performance with slightly less range than going forward; there were some false alerts, but the editing features of this detector can clean them up nicely. In shopping malls, the quiet ride feature is fantastic for preventing false alerts. I set the speed to 15 mph, and the radar detector always indicated that there was a presence of radar, but remained silent and turned on the quiet ride feature. When getting a false alert in other areas, tapping the mute button twice will tag that spot and you won't hear the annoying chatter again. I'm tempted to set that speed value a little higher, but I live near several school zones, so I definitely want full alert when the speed limits are in effect of 20 MPH. When getting a false alert in other areas, tapping the mute button twice will tag that spot and you won't hear the annoying chatter again. Let's face it, any radar detector only has two major functions, with everything else being a minor detail. The first is giving you plenty of warning when a real radar is being used to track your speed. The second step is to eliminate false alerts, which are becoming more common in today's world of radio waves. Overall, the DFR9 performs admirably and represents excellent value for money given its low price.
I had high expectations for this detector because Uniden is known for producing high-quality detectors. I was excited that it had automatic gps false alert lockouts, but after 8 days of passing the same false alerts at least once a day, NONE of them were ever locked out. Worse, even if I manually marked a false alert, it would still alert and say it was a user-marked location. This device has been sounding the alarm on every single 1-minute interval. For the past week and a half, I've been doing 3 minute intervals. A return label has been printed. Ugh.
This time, Uniden, you've outdone yourself-- Thanks.
