Good deal for the R4.

As a police officer, I love radar detectors because people that have them tend to drive within reason. That being said, almost no departments use handheld radars anymore, it's either moving radar that is almost always on but can be set to stationary mode or handheld infrared lasers, or lidar, such as the Pro Laser Iv. These units will give you warning for moving radar but they won't for lidar. The cone for the laser is 3 feet at 1500 feet, and it doesn't bounce around down the road like radar does. The return speed is less than a second and we aim it at your grill area, not your windshield. I may shoot a laser at you and it doesn't even register on your detector.

That being said, people with detectors tend to be safer drivers, definitely driving slightly above the speed limit but not below the speed limit which is statistically more dangerous to a large extent. This deal seems good and the brand is reliable.

Anyone who wants the R3 over the R4 is crazy. I own both and the R3 has way more false alerts than the R4. I love the more advanced warning of the R4 over the R3.

What does one use this for other than detecting police radars? Is it it legal to own and operate one of these on the road?

TBH, I would rather have the R3. I have an R4 and it alerts at such long ranges that the constant beeping is just annoying. It's literally beeping for well over a mile. I know you can hit mute, but I would rather be alerted slightly later. I do not like muting because we do not know if the threat has moved later on. Improving on distance is no longer an improvement.
This means that youre not speeding enough.

Can you please come to my city and be an officer? Maybe teach our force? You sound like a level-headed honest cop that has peoples' best in mind.

Also, everything you said is true. Thanks.

I have a DFR9 which has been great! I need one for another car. I know I could just get another mounting but being as this is a sale item. Is it any better than the DFR 9 ? I should probably just buy another mounting, which is a problem. Tesla mdl Y.

Thanks for sharing this information. I was considering upgrading my R3 to R4 for no particular reason, just because R4 has become cheaper now, lol. R3 is more than sufficient for detection, sometimes picking up more than I need. I can't imagine having the R4, it might result in more false positives.

For those thinking that more distance is better, I can assure you that the R3 is more than enough. I usually drive faster but not excessively (around ~100+ mph) during midnight. R3 gives me enough time to slow down. Maybe if you're driving at 160+ mph (or even higher speeds), R4 might be a better choice. I understand that everyone has their own speed, but I don't believe everyone goes as fast as 160+ mph.

Generally speaking, the R4 picks up more than what you need, which isn't a good sign if you're not an extremely fast driver.

LMAOLMAOLMAO My exact thought! That range is for above 100mph where you may cover that mile in a little over 30 seconds. At those 30 seconds, you'd probably be too close. So maybe 15 seconds before you have to back off? But then again, I wasn't very good at math so I may be WAY OFF!! LMAOLMAO

Is this a worthwhile upgrade from a Valentine One Gen 1?
I think v1 g1 can also be upgraded by valentine 1 company itself for perhaps less cost?
