Escort's answer to the issue was the release of the Escort Max 360 ($649.95) and this detector has shown good promise in having good performance, GPS for false fixed alerts and a much better filter for false alerts from vehicles on the road but as of this writing 4/2017 the filtering is still not up to par with less expensive units such as the Uniden DFR7 ($299.95) or Radenso XP ($399.95) or even the latest V1 ($399.95). Uniden's answer was the new Uniden R1 & Uniden R3 series and boy they have a home run with these new models. The R1 is their base DSP Model priced at only $299.95 and offers Redline Performance and much better filtering at a fraction of the price. The R3 is their GPS enabled version for $399.95 and it add's the ability to mark and ignore fixed false alerts such as automatic door openers and also includes a red light camera database for the entire US & Canada.
Here is a comparison of the sensitivity among the most popular models high end models:
What you will see here is that the Uniden R1 & R3 have better performance than some units that cost 2x their price. In recent testing we have seen the new Uniden models beat even some remotely installed systems costing $2500 or more which is truly amazing and I personally think they are under priced and they should be priced higher. At their current price of $299.95 (Uniden R1) and $399.95 (Uniden R3) they are incredible bargains and I honestly cant see anyone recommending a higher priced unit unless they just want to make more money and not recommend the best product for the money.
