Uniden LRD450 is a long-range radar/laser detector that helps you stay informed about potential speed traps and laser-based speed monitoring systems. It features X, K, and Ka band alarms and alerts you to POP and laser signals. The device offers three modes: Highway for all-band and laser detection, City for reduced X-band sensitivity in urban areas, and City 1 for X-band exclusion. The LRD450 can be mounted on your windshield or dashboard for optimal performance.

False signals can come from other devices such as the

automac doors at a supermarket or even another

car’s cruise control; these devices operate in the

same frequency ranges as radar guns.

POP™ is a single-pulse Doppler radar feature on some

K and Ka band radar guns. This type of radar gun is

a very sensive receiver; limit POP detect mode to

highway and rural driving.
