James –
A big improvement over the R3 in regards to software & audio quality. GPS seems more sensitive, and I’m getting K band alerts sooner. I don’t have a car with any forward-pointing warning systems so I’m not sure how something like Subaru’s “eye-sight” tech would interfere, if at all. I’m enjoying the directional threat read-out more than I thought I would. I’m in a part of Canada where RD’s are illegal so I can’t position it visibly, hence sensitivity is affected. That said, it picked up a Ka band alert on a clear day, exactly 1.7 kms away. I’m really happy with this RD, but the only reason it’s not a 5 star rating is the fact this RD is big & heavy. Stealth & directional alerts mean it simply has to be, so if we’re gauging this by its merits alone, it’s 5 stars. Saved my cheese a couple of times, it must have bewildered the constant-on Ka band speed trap officers when they see a WRX going only 4kph over the limit. It’s like, I knew what was up here before you finished your coffee!
What I liked about the R3 was the fact it was so light & compact. Then it got stolen from the trunk of my car so what that means is “upgrade time”.
If they end up making a smaller, cordless RD with stealth, I’ll sell the car just to get it.
It was delivered fast & my last-minute decision to get the R7 rather than the Radenso was made easy thanks to prompt, competent service.
