Q: So I’m seeing this is useless for laser detection. As soon as it senses a laser it’s too late . Am I right ? How often do law enforcement officials use laser?

A: You are correct however every detector is useless for laser. The only effective countermeasure for laser is the ALP Laser jammer. Depending on your location laser maybe used more or less. Concluding a radar detector is only going to let you know your getting shot with laser and at that point it's too late. You have to get a laser jammer and ALP is the best.. check out Vortex radar on YouTube for great reviews.

Q: When are you getting more of the uniden r3

A: Here is a trick which worked great for me. Take the SKU number for the radar detector to your local Best Buy store and ask them to locate one and have it shipped to you. I did this, and 5 days later, the item arrived at my doorstep. The sales rep. at Best Buy explained to me that "out of stock" does not mean that they are totally out of stock of that item; rather it merely means that the particular warehouse which supplies the Best Buy website is out of stock of the item. The item is likely available at other warehouses, can be located by the store, and shipped to your home.

Q: Does the R3 have laser detection capabilities? Every once in a blue moon my current detector will alert on laser detection and sure enough there is a traffic officer up the road using a laser speed detection device, it's rare but they do use them.

A: Yes, it does detect laser, but 99% of the time when you get a laser notification then they already have your speed. The only way to defend against that is to buy parking sensors like ALP. The detector that's known for having the most sensitive laser detection is the Valentine One, but even that will just be a ticket notifier if you were speeding.

Q: i have a uniden r3 radar detector an sometimes when i turn it on it says low battery but it is fine what does that mean its pluged in to the power sourse

A: This means you might have a low battery in the car, the detector can have “battery save mode” which is a way to turn off automatically to not drain the car battery. It also shows the voltage to let you know the what’s coming out your cig plug.

Q: Is the newer R3BLK truly matte black, as in all glossy exterior parts have been altered?

A: The new one is completely matt black. It has no shiny parts at all.

Q: Difference between R& & R3

A: I assume you mean the R7 and if so, the R3 just has a slightly shorter range and doest give directional arrows to let you know where the signal is coming from like the R7 does basically.

    WORTH IT

    Still extremely accurate after 3 years — worth every penny I purchased the Uniden R3BLK over three years ago and it’s still very accurate. The long-range detection is impressive and it consistently alerts well in advance, giving plenty of time to react. This detector has absolutely paid for itself over the years. The DSP filtering works great to reduce false alerts, and it’s been reliable in all types of driving. Build quality is solid and it continues to perform like new. If you’re on the fence because of the price, it’s 100% worth it. This is one of those purchases you don’t regret.

    One of the best

    It has one of the best ranges on the market. It has all the bells and whistles that you need with GPS and you mute the signals in your area that you want it to remember. I rarely ever get a false positive from other people’s car proximity sensors. Can’t recommend more. Has easily paid for itself. Blend mount and mirror tap for power sold separately but worth it.
