![]() The city test was even better, receiving an A using the Auto Lo K and Auto No X sensitivity settings. When the gun was aimed down the road, the range exceeds two miles. For example, the shortest range it recorded was a half mile with radar gun aimed perpendicular to the road. ![]() While the range wasn't nearly as far as the Max 360c and the Valentine One, it still provided plenty of range in each scenario to safely adjust your driving habits in time to avoid a ticket. In the highway tests, this detector received an A- for performance. This is the only fool-proof method for ensuring you don't get a ticket and maintain a high awareness of your driving habits. With an adjustable over-speed alert, which uses the built-in GPS to accurately measure your speed, you always know when you've exceeded the speed limit. ![]() The Escort IX doesn't have directional arrows that tell you where the radar is coming from like the Max 360c, but it’s otherwise designed to improve your driving awareness. This is why the Escort IX is our pick for best value in radar detectors. The most notable difference is the price – the Escort IX costs much less than the Max 360c. Both feature sophisticated built-in GPS features and exceptional ease of use. Both feature high-end performance in both highway and city settings. In a side-by-side comparison, the Escort IX looks and performs very nearly as well as the top rated Escort Max 360c. It may be pricey, but it’s absolutely worth the money. ![]() You can take this detector out of the box and use it effectively. The built-in GPS automatically connects to the satellite and provides a wide range of features that includes an over-speed alert, which is the best way to avoiding speeding and far better than being detected by a police radar gun. The alerts are effective, and they automatically mute themselves after the initial voice alert. The controls are clearly labelled, and the display is matched only by other Escort detectors. The ease of use with Max 360c is ideal for novices. Even in other scenarios, which had the radar gun pointed in various angles, the Max 360c provided one of the longest ranges. And this was using a K-band radar gun, which has a shorter range than the X-band typically used in freeway settings. Pressing the Mute button twice can activate this feature, ensuring your drive is free from annoying false alerts when you’re driving slowly.For example, in the straight-ahead test where the radar gun was pointed straight down the road, it still detected the radar two miles away. To add to this, you can also use the Quiet Ride feature if you want to drive quietly. It works by essentially locking out repeated alerts in a certain location, which probably come from automatic doors and other sources. GPS lockouts are one feature in this radar detector that helps in the filtering process. When it comes to filtering out false alerts like blind-spot monitoring systems (BSM’s) in nearby vehicles, a quick K Band Filter enabling does a great job. Just an important note though: while it has a good record in detecting signals on the US radar frequency 34.7, we can’t say the same when it comes to others like 35.5 and 33.8. In fact, it can sometimes perform even better than Escort Max 360 or Valentine One. ![]() The Uniden DFR7 is marketed by the brand for long range detection, and in our tests, it fulfills that promise well. 4 – Uniden DFR7 Super Long Range Radar/Laser Detection with GPS ![]()
