Review on SilverStone F1 Monaco S radar detector by Abhey Singh ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

In no case do I urge you to break the rules, and I use the radar detector for long trips to unfamiliar places for safety. For many years, the Supra 77 served me faithfully, but three years ago I went to the sea from the Hong Kong region for the first time, and I was simply tired of the number of false positives. True, he did not bring a single fine) Before the next trip to the Crimea in 2022, I decided to buy a signature device. Initially purchased with a big discount Digma t1000. Although the reviews were good, he could just squeal for 30 minutes without stopping. Finally returned it to the store. Then, after reading reviews and tests, I settled on this model. Surprisingly, Silverstone turned out to be almost a copy of Digma both externally and in terms of the complete identity of the settings menu. On the very first trip towards Hong Kong, when compared with Supra, I noticed fewer false positives, but at the same time, the detection range was sometimes significantly less. I liked that now it informs about the cameras in the back. At first, long informational messages were very infuriating, but then I reflashed with a truncated version, and it became much better. But I was immediately upset by the fact that signature analysis works only in one city mode, and in the Route mode, false positives still happened. I rode in signature mode along the track with a known location of radars, and as a result "missed" all the tripods. In addition, the detection range of the remaining cameras has decreased significantly. That is, driving in signature mode on the highway is very unsafe. When I went to the sea, I didn’t save myself from the number of false positives again. On the one hand, I didn’t bring a single fine, but on the other hand, I was tired of squealing at any interference even in an open field. The only joy is that in the Auto mode, the signature mode starts working in populated areas, and there are practically no false positives. As a result, I realized for myself that it is best to use a good application for a smartphone, and use the detector for safety net in Extra mute mode.

Pros
  • Compact, informative enough and does its job well overall.
Cons
  • False positives, reliability
