K band in Orange County, CA

Recently got my Uniden R8W - is there any reason at all to have K band on in Orange County, CA? Seems like all I've picked up so far is your speed signs and false alerts, even with recommended K band filters. Not knocking the detector. The range and arrows are a crazy step up from my old R3, but just wondering if I can safely eliminate basically the only chatter I'm getting from the detector.

Laser Detector suggestions for a newbie from Calgary, Alberta

Hello, I drive a few hundred kilometres daily, both within and outside the city. I’m looking for some suggestions for a laser detector to install in my van. I usually don’t drive fast, but it seems like police officers are eager to issue tickets even for 10 kilometres per hour over the speed limit on a 110-kilometre road. My budget is under $500 CAD. Thanks!

Radar silence in the southeast?

Is it just me or has it been relatively quiet in the southeast? My UnidenR4w and my escort Max 360c MKII have both been very quiet in terms of KA band over the last three weeks.

Any Detectors the size of the Radenso Pro M Radar Detector?

I have a 2025 Nautilus that has the coated windshield, I never knew this was a thing until I noticed that my usually reliable radar was not detecting - anything.

Long story sort the dot-matrix "clear" areas (two) are at he very top of windshield both sides of mirror and are SMALL.
My EZ PASS takes up the right hand side, that's how small.

The ONLY radar I can Jam up there is my old S55, but it has seen better days.
I saw the Radenso Pro M it tine and that would fit, but I can't even find them.

So I need something with a 1" thickness MAX, that included and bulges mid-bod, if the bottom is flat I can flip it I suppose, but a more rectangle-shape would be best.

Budget is not much so no remote heads, it has to be around $500 max for new.
I heard the Max 4 was thin also.

Any ideas?
I am open to used units and I would love the Radenso Pro even though it is dated, I saw one on ebay for 250, not sure if that's a good deal or not.
thanks!

PS. I travel the NY thruway where KA band is king, so that is the main focus of my search is going to.
