5. SHO-ME G-900STR
Price - from 5 700 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- bands: K, Ka, Ku, X, Ultra-K
- detection of "Strelka" type radars
- modes: "City", "Highway", "Auto"
- POP support

The anti-radar rating is opened by a South Korean model that has adopted all the advantages of the popular G-800STR anti-radar. The updated version has a new GPS chip from SIRF, increased memory capacity, increased the size of the LCD screen and a remote control.
The USB / OTG function is very convenient, which allows you to load an updated camera database, firmware or a new voice guidance file into the radar detector using a USB bootloader that is included in the kit. You no longer need to carry your device home to connect to your computer.
SHO-ME G-900STR features high noise immunity. This means that it will not "beep" at all automatic doors of shops, base stations of cellular communication, etc.
Another nice little thing - there is a cover for storing the anti-radar in the kit.
Cons: the base of radars identified by GPS is not complete, although it is updated once a week. The remote control does not have an anti-radar volume control and buttons for turning it on and off.
“I like the radar, but you can't turn off your head when riding with it. When driving in Moscow, there is a strong background, the radar always detects a signal and is rarely silent, here you can turn off a number of ranges, leave only the arrow and lasers - it will be fine. Arrows sees everything, even those who look at the tail. At the base in Moscow, 80 percent of the radars are being used ... "

4. Prestige RD-200
Price - from 4 135 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- bands: K, Ka, X, Ultra-K, Ultra-X
- detection of "Strelka" type radars
- modes: "City", "Track"
- GPS, station base radars
In the rating of the 5 best models of radar detectors of 2018, according to reviews, the Prestige RD-200 stands out for several advantages.
- The first is additional features such as a compass, clock and display of the speed of movement.
- The second is a minimum of buttons. All settings are paired with voice control.
- The third is excellent build quality (like the SHO-ME radar detectors, the Prestige RD-200 is made in South Korea).
The GPS is ready to work within a minute after turning it on, and if you are tired of voice alerts, you can turn them off completely by pressing the MUTE button, or mute them.
However, many owners of this radar detector note the increased sensitivity in the "Route" mode, it is better to put "City".But the main negative point is the constant triggering of Strelka, even where there are no radars in principle. Some users solve this software defect by firmware from Artway 200 or by using a different power supply and cord.
“The radar is made in soft-touch plastic. It is very pleasant to hold it in your hands. 2. The radar performs its functions 100%, the probability of failures is minimal (on the factory firmware). 3. A nice bonus was the presence of a rubber mat under the radar. 4. Good screen.
I advise you not to update the firmware. the radar starts to malfunction and sees the Arrow everywhere. "

3. Artway RD-516
Price - from 1 890 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- bands: K, Ka, X, Ultra-K, Ultra-X
- detection of "Strelka", "Cordon" type radars
- modes: "City", "Track"
- POP support
For the price it is the best radar detector. It does not have the GPS, like the more expensive models from the 2018 radar detector rating, but it has a character display that is legible from different angles, an anti-slip mat included and several sensitivity modes. He perfectly catches tripods placed on the side of the road.
Unfortunately, this radar detector does not react to AVTODORIA and other stationary complexes without radiation. And when you turn off the voice notification, the sound is turned off at the same time.
“On the track he catches a tripod a kilometer away, if not shoots in the back.
When the radar is directed in the back, it catches late, but I think this is how all antiradars work. "

- radar detector with laser receiver
- bands: K, Ka, Ku, X, Ultra-K
- detection of "Strelka" type radars
- modes: "City", "Highway", "Auto"
- POP support
- GPS, station base radars
A stylish radar detector in a black and red housing catches all currently available radars, rarely reacts to gas stations, store doors and other interference, supports updating databases (including "folk" ones) and has a bright display on which everything is perfectly readable even in sunny day. It can be easily switched on in hot and cold weather (up to -35 ° C) and has an indication of the current vehicle speed.
The disadvantages of this model are insignificant - unreliable fastening (a widespread problem of radar detectors), rare false alarms and the inability to update databases using a USB bootloader. You have to connect the device to your computer.
“... I considered everything up to 10000r inclusive, but since I do not go to distant places very often, after reading the reviews I decided to try this model, so that if I get disappointed in the device, I will not lose much money)). As a result, in 2 days 1600 km everything the device could catch both in the forehead and in the back. All stationary cameras are first warned from the GPS base, after about 1 km it already catches the signal and detects the signal level as it approaches ... "

The best radar detector of 2018 in the ranking is, of course, SHO-ME. With all the richness of choice, there is no other alternative with the same capabilities and at such a low price.
This model is based on 800STR and has the same base of cameras and radars as the "dad". Even their processor is the same - ST Microelectronics. But the GPS chips are different.
The G-700STR has an easy-to-configure GPS module with a weekly update, a bright display, pleasant voice guidance in Russian, and, most importantly, accurate recognition of stationary and portable radars and cameras at a distance of 700-800 meters from the car. In addition, the device shows the speed and you do not have to be distracted by the dashboard once again.
“I bought a sho-me 700str radar detector 1.5 years ago. In Moscow and the region it catches everything, and what it doesn’t catch with the radar part (autodoria), it works out GPS, I also went to Belarus with handheld radars and caught cameras perfectly well. Convenient in settings, GPS module, weekly updates. "
