![]() These test results are simply one part of the overall puzzle. We need to see lots of tests with lots of detectors against lots of guns in lots of different terrains to get an accurate sense of the big picture. Please don’t take these results alone as gospel. Rarely does this stuff go to plan, but on that day I really wanted to get as much done as possible, so I heavily cut down the number of detectors tested so that I could test on all 3 Ka frequencies as well as on K band.Īs always, this is just one test. (The video above is one of the test passes from this day of testing.)įinally another trip to the red barn course, I finally got results that I’m satisfied with (mostly, lol). After several hours of testing, we opted to discard all the results and try another day. Results were very inconsistent and honestly all over the place. While it’s true that we can’t control all the variables in testing, this was way too much. ![]() ![]() Uh oh… It turns out this was a hand-soldered preproduction unit that was useful for looking at the design and features of the detector, but didn’t perform on par with a retail unit.įor the third test we went back to the red barn, but traffic and construction were a significant factor and heavily affected the results. I secretly ran the first R8 I received on both this test and this test, but the R8 performed worse than expected, closer to the R7 or sometimes R3, lagging noticeably compared to the R4. ![]() So it actually took me 4 attempts (!!) to get a solid set of test results that I’m comfortable sharing. This Was More Time Consuming Than I Expected You can read my full Uniden R8 review here. I’ve been really curious to see how much better the R8 performs and so I headed back to my usual red barn test course to test the R8 against all the top contenders on both K band and Ka band. The Uniden R8 ( purchase here) improves upon the performance of the already strong Uniden R7 by adding a new dual LNA design as well as an upgraded condenser lens in front of the horn. ![]()
