Dukes R8 App

Take full control of your Uniden radar detector — with smart automation, geofencing, advanced alert logging, and built-in navigation.

Key Features

Default Profile
Save your detector’s standard settings (all bands, sensitivity, etc.). These defaults apply whenever you leave a geofence or reconnect.

Geofenced Profiles
Define geofences at the state, province, or (soon) city level. Inside each zone, override settings like band activation, sensitivity, and muting behavior. The app switches profiles automatically as you cross boundaries.

Legal Notifications
Location-based notifications remind you if radar detectors are legal where you’re driving. Optional and can be turned off in settings.

Custom Alert Distance
Adjust how far away a custom feed alert will trigger (up to 5 km / 3.1 mi).

Navigation Mode

Smoothly follows your location as you drive

Map rotates to match your driving direction

Works with or without an active route

Provides the same fluid map movement you expect during turn-by-turn navigation

Voice guidance available when routing is active

Lockouts & Mute Logic
Create GPS lockouts for K/X bands. Mute Ka alerts but allow overrides when a new Ka is detected under your rules.

Alert Sessions & Map View
Every alert is logged as a “session,” recording band, frequency, time, and GPS path. You can:

View full routes on a map

See summaries (distance, time, band)

Compare multiple sessions (overlay routes)

Live Session Details
While driving, view a real-time map with pins for start/end, band/frequency info, duration, distance, and your detector’s model/firmware.

Detector Dashboard
See your detector’s model, main firmware, DSP version, and camera database date in one view.

Compatibility
Works with Uniden R4, R4W, R8, R8W, R9, R9W.

User Preferences
Toggle between metric and imperial units, enable/disable logging, and adjust interface details like alert banner size and appearance.
