Uniden R7 with International firmware 1.50, plus Waze.
Works well, not much falsing.
Arrows are very helpful for situational awareness. One of my cars has a Uniden R3, and when it goes off I feel a little lost not knowing what direction the radar is coming from.

Also, 'rabbits' are good. Try not to be out front - follow someone else who's going fast, if possible, at a safe distance.

Also, laser jammers are illegal in some states, legal in others.

Escort Passport. Been using it for a decade now and my complaints are minor. If I were to ever switch (brands), I would likely look at getting a Valentine One...otherwise you cannot go wrong with either Escort of Valentine One.

Illinois
Minnesota
Nebraska (questionable)
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia

Vortex extensively tests and compares radar detectors and they say Radenso and Uniden are also among the best along with the 2 brands you mentioned. Their YouTube channel goes into tons of detail on different detectors.

I have a Radenso Pro M.
Had it since I bought my car back in 2019.
I am very impressed with it's performance and how it filters out false alerts.
Many other great detectors out there as well.
Just wanted to share my experience.
Good luck with your choice.

Thank you for being a vortex fan. And vouching for him. Please come on over to the radar detector form.

For what it's worth OP I have run an R7 as well as a V1 G2. Both are fantastic units under the $600 price tag range. I also run ALP . I have hardwired everything myself and with whatever you have chosen to go with please feel free to reach out I've been glad to give a fellow Camaro owner a hand.
