Best praise vs top criticism for Uniden DFR8

Best Praise

+2 pts

“I've had a dfr8 for over 5 years and it looks and performs as new. I also recently got a R4 for another vehicle. I'd say the build quality is about the same as the dfr8. The dfr8 is mounted under the mirror and I think this helps keep it like new. Its out of the sun and is rarely touched other then to mute it.”
