Top 15 radar detectors

In terms of the quality of work, this “state employee” can argue with more expensive devices: having saved on “whistles and fakes”, the developers have kept the most important thing - the high selectivity of the receiver. It not only reliably detects the signal of radio measuring systems, but also does not bother with false alarms.

What really bothers RD-101 is the mandatory listing of its supported ranges when turned on. Why it took the creators - is unknown, but the nerves act very strongly.

Decent "wagon" with a laser receiver and GPS, which supports signature analysis. The functions tied to satellite geo-positioning are really well implemented - for example, in the range of the Avtodoria meters, the radar detector automatically starts counting the average speed in the control area, as the complex itself does. So, it is not necessary to guess whether he managed to throw off the “average” below the threshold of the arrival of “letters of happiness” or not.

The manufacturer claims that the signature analysis algorithm is “trained” to the characteristic features of all currently relevant mobile and stationary meters. And this is as much as 13 points - “Cordons”, “Binars”, “Robots” and other “menagerie”. And the anti-radar actually does its job of filtering the radio, snatching out alarm signals about the presence of the camera ahead.

Like the top "signature" Sho-Me, here, too, the signature mode has become separate, in the city / highway modes the DSP is disabled. It is a pity that there is no possibility of adjusting the sensitivity of receivers while retaining all the advantages of signature analysis - but this, alas, is the level of much more expensive models.

Visiting in terms of convenience is worth it on the overloaded small screen. Indeed, why is there an electronic compass, which is inconvenient in a vertical position, and in itself carries little benefit?

The main feature that distinguishes this model from its predecessors is the algorithm for detecting the “Amata” radar.Although this type of speed gauge is not yet widespread here, but when traveling to Europe you will find on the roads a lot of Czech analogues of this device.

Rating Sho-Me G-700STR - 9.6 out of 10. The lower estimate was made by the fact that the purchased anti-radar detector should be reflashed first - the firmware does not set the best default settings.

The VG-2 detection protection system built into the Whistler 558Ru anti-radar proved to be very good.

In the rating, the model received a rating of 9.5. The decline is the result of the presence of three urban modes. Most users find it difficult to determine whether this is more of an advantage or disadvantage.

The radar detector model released in 2017, although devoid of full signature analysis, nevertheless has a significant advantage in the form of anti-CAS technology. This is important in the dense stream of large cities: the more cars with active distance monitoring systems, “blind zones” and so on appear, the more radar detectors are simple in design. Without wasting resources on the full-fledged processing of signatures, the developers of Playme QUICK 2 "choked" the sensitivity of the radio path specifically to car radio systems.

Support of the GPS-coordinates base will not be superfluous either, especially since it is quite quickly updated. In this case, the user can set the speed limit, before which the radar detector will not bother with alarms: really, why do you need a warning about the camera, if the speed is within the rules of the road?

The Sho-Me G-800STR radar detector mode switch has 2 “City” positions with different sensitivities, 1 “Route” position and the auto-sensing mode of the desired sensitivity. Hazard information is displayed on a convenient liquid crystal display.

Consumer feedback emphasizes ease of setup and operation of this anti-radar.

The reminder function “fasten the belt” when switching on can be fairly irritating.Get rid of the annoying voice can not even change the firmware. Not reaching 10 points and detecting the signal of the Hunters - the detector detects it for 30-40 meters, when it is too late to drink Borjomi.

The entry-level signature radar detector - that is, it will not argue with full-fledged “signatures” a class higher, but in difficult working conditions it will still give less false positives compared to models without an integrated digital signal processor.

The hull format is already traditional, with a small screen at the front end. His viewing angles are quite good, although from the point of view of traffic safety, it is better to rely on sound alerts.

Alas, it is to be regretted that Supra froze in its time the project of the 177th model, preferring the more affordable 171st. The fact is that the prototype 177 used the dedicated Altera FPGAs to process the signatures, but in the product 171st, one STM32 controller is responsible for the “all at once”. Due to the reduction in the available computing resource, the signal processing algorithm had to be simplified, and hence the increased number of false positives in comparison with more advanced models. In addition, the manufacturer spoiled his initial impressions of the model himself, releasing the first installments with a raw firmware. Fixed the problem quickly enough, but still ...

The sign control system introduced by Neoline is also available here. To turn off the sound you do not need to be distracted from the road, just hold your hand in front of the device.Another Neoline feature is the automatic selection of priority between the radar detector and the GPS base: if for stationary cameras and meters recorded in the base, the signal is given, even if the receiver does not pick up radiation, the device will only respond to the DPS posts manual meter radiation.

Perhaps, it is worth immediately blaming the manufacturer for one case on the entire line: it is very easy to confuse different models with each other. If we take this one specifically, then it is not difficult to recommend it for purchase - both in terms of “omnivorousness” in terms of ranges and in terms of “range”, the radar detector meets modern requirements. At the same time, he does not turn city driving into an eternal game of ingenuity - the police inspector of road regulation hid in front of him, or this is another obstacle from the doors of the shopping center.

This is not surprising - after all, it was the Whistler radio path that became one of the first decisions of such a plan that were really suitable for practical use. If you seriously delve, then in the current cheap "Chinese" and used variations on circuit design radar detectors Whistler already 1997 model year. Our “iron” model is already 20 years more modern. And for electronics it is a very serious time.

The radio frequency signature analysis promised by the manufacturer proved to be effective in practice, and this can be checked on your device: if without a loaded database, the radar detector turns into a complete hysterical response to any radio source close to the K-band, keeping the image of Silent Bob at any automatic doors and other sources of interference.

Add to this the true joy of the Hamster in the form of a bright and informative OLED-display and get at the output more than a worthy anti-radar, in "straight arms" deservedly claiming to be the leader in the accuracy of noise elimination.

The manufacturer regularly updates the GPS database, but now it has to be updated by removing the radar detector and connecting it to the computer, although more accessible devices now support OTG and can be updated from smartphones.
