The K40 Platinum100 radar detector is, in my experience, one of the best on the market when it comes to long-range detection. The Platinum100 is on par with both the Uniden R3 and R7 in the long-range detection department, even outperforming the mighty Escort MAX 360c on a few occasions with Ka bands at a distance.
The video below summarizes a few weeks of driving around the Detroit area with the K40 Platinum100. We had good luck using the Auto sensitivity mode, which kept false alerts to a minimum. Although not as flashy as other radar detectors, the display is clean and the unit is lightweight. With the optional remote control, it’s easy to access the menu, mute a false alert, mark a location, or change sensitivity modes (although there is an added cost for the remote).
If you have additional questions about the Platinum100, take a look at our full review. As of this writing, the K40 Platinum100 radar detector is available on Amazon for about $560.
