Herziening van de Uniden DFR6 Radardetector

Laser radar detectors have become more and more popular over the past few years. People often use them as a way to avoid speed traps while driving, since they can detect police radar, but that isn’t their only purpose. They can be a good tool to have while you are driving, but there isn’t a whole lot of information about them available, which can make it difficult to shop for one. After all, how do you know if you’re buying a good one? If you’re looking to buy a laser radar detector, you’ve already made one good decision, keep reading to learn about the Uniden DFR6, one of the best long range radar detectors on the market. I’ve reviewed it and compiled what I’ve learned to help get you started.

Belangrijkste kenmerken

Detectie van superlange laserradar
Deze radar kan op grotere afstand detecteren dan de meeste radardetectoren. Hun exacte bereik varieert afhankelijk van een paar verschillende factoren, zoals het terrein waarop u rijdt. Een lange, rechte weg geeft je maximale actieradius, maar als je eenmaal op kronkelende wegen of door heuvelachtige gebieden begint te rijden, begint de actieradius een beetje af te nemen.

Geavanceerd K-bandfilter
Another great feature of this detector is that detects on all four bands of K, KA, X, and Laser. This basically means almost nothing can get past this radar, so you are ready for everything. It’s also super effective, so not only kan het detecteert alle verschillende banden, het detecteert ze eigenlijk elke keer. Het heeft ook heel weinig valse alarmen in vergelijking met andere radardetectoren die ik heb getest.

Gemakkelijk te lezen OLED-scherm
When you’re driving, the last thing you want to do is struggle to read what your radar detector is saying. Thankfully, the OLED display is easy to read, whether it is day or night, meaning you can keep your eyes on the road longer, where they’re supposed to be. I usually don’t even look at the display while I am driving because there is also an alarm that goes off when something is detected. This makes it easy to know what I need to know, without taking my eyes off the road and becoming distracted.

USB poort

De voedingskabel van deze detector heeft een usb-poort zodat je je telefoon kunt opladen. Ik ben dol op deze functie, ook al is hij klein, omdat hij de detector een heel andere functie geeft. Het is dus niet alleen een geweldige radardetector met groot bereik, hij doet ook dienst als telefoonoplader! Het netsnoer heeft nog een paar andere coole kleine functies, zoals een knop voor het dempen op afstand. De mute-knop kan worden gebruikt om de waarschuwingen uit te schakelen die ik eerder noemde. Het heeft ook een waarschuwings-LED, dus als je de waarschuwingen dempt, heb je nog steeds een soort stil alarm om je te laten weten dat er iets is gedetecteerd.

Aanpasbaar
Finally, this radar detector is customizable. It’s not customizable like you can pick the color or design or anything like that, but you can customize what bands it picks up on. This gives you full control over what your detector is looking out for, and you can adjust it to better suit your needs as time goes on. I usually just leave it to detect everything, but I know people who like to fine tune it and are just as happy with it.

Eerste indruk

My first impression of the product is that I have not had the DFR6 for very long but so far it has been worth the investment. It is able to pick up police in the area before I see them so I feel that the range is pretty good. The unit performs extremely well for its price point. Out of all the legitimate speed traps and radar traps I’ve come across so far, I would say this unit has alerted me 99% time with enough time to check my speed. I have had one occurrence where a cop was sitting with the radar not facing traffic such that I was alerted late. I have tried to be more aware of this type of things since it is not as good detecting radar when it is not facing traffic. One of my first alerts pleasantly surprised me, because I was about a mile or so away from the officer using his radar. This feature is most helpful since I drive between NC and PA for work at least every couple of months. My favorite alert so far was a detection of an officer being barely visible in the tall grass. On average, expect to be alerted to KA based radar well in advance with enough time to act accordingly. I have had some issues of not being alerted as much in advance as usual if the wind is really strong or when I am traveling thru hill and mountains. Traffic monitoring filters are also available if your area uses radar-based traffic monitoring systems.

Voordelen

• Detecteert K, KA, POP, X en laser.
• K-, KA- en verkeersbewakingsfilters (helpt bij het elimineren van valse waarschuwingen)
• Snelweg- en stadsmodi
• Hoorbare waarschuwingen met verschillende tonen, afhankelijk van wat wordt opgepikt.
• Makkelijk te gebruiken

Nadelen

• Some people find the startup voice annoying, but I think it’s pretty easy to tune out
• The detector may miss radars that are not facing traffic, although this doesn’t happen too often

Eindoordeel

Ik denk dat er waarschijnlijk betere eenheden zijn, maar voor het geld geloof ik dat de Uniden DFR6 is a top-notch product. I have been pleased and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a long range radar detector especially if you do not want to spend a fortune in order to get one. It has definitely been worth the money and has saved me from more than one ticket since I purchased it. I would look at purchasing another one if I had a need since it has been reliable and in most cases gives plenty of warning ahead of time. I travel a fair amount for work and most of it is highway travel and it has come in handy especially when driving at night and when I am not as alert to looking for speed traps. I don’t endorse speeding by any means, but we all do it occasionally. This unit has a great range on it and can usually pick up radar long before you see the police. If I am traveling within the city I usually do not tend to use it because it does pick up a few false alarms from automatic door openers on garages every now and then.  This is a minor issue as far as I am concerned and I would highly recommend this product to someone looking for a dependable long-range radar detector. However, if you still aren’t feeling this specific model, there are tons of other ones out on the market for your consideration.
