Customers are saying

Customers find value in the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly praising its impressive range and overall performance, which is comparable to higher-end models. Users appreciate its radar detection capabilities, accuracy, ease of use, and the inclusion of GPS for camera updates. While some mention false alarms and suggest turning off K band, the detector's size is considered reasonable.

    Save me a $200 ticket on the first day of usage. Wasnt too sure about this one it’s also n sale. But it’s working well and has a good range. LEO was about 1.5 miles away and over a hill detector found him!

    Decent Radar Detector

    I couldn't decide between this and the Escort. I have owned Escorts for 25 years and never looked at another brand. This one had great reviews and had a greater detection distance than the Escort. It does detect Ka band from far away. Now the K band. This thing will go off all the time in K band. It gets annoying. It seems to pick up park assist/lane departure/radar cruise control systems on every car around you along with automatic doors on businesses (which I haven't had any warnings in years on my older Escorts). You will want to turn off the K band for sanity.

    It works well and definitely saved me from a few tickets, just make sure you turn off all other bands except ka, oherwise itll go off all the time. The laser detector wont go off till it's too late, but for that youd want a jammer anyway. My only complaint with this is you don't know what direction the radar is coming from. But I guess that's why uniden came out with the r7.

    I'm very please with both the range and the filtering of the R3. I get very few false signals during highway driving. The menu system is very comprehensive and allows lots of customization. I especially like the ability to set the detector to mute below a set speed. I set mine to 20 mph, which keeps it quiet when I'm driving near shoppings centers where there are many extraneous signals.

    This thing picks up extreme lomg range. A few times i thought it was a false alarm it picked up so far but three or four miles down the road there was the car shooting radar. Saved me a few tickets already.

    Decent radar. One negative is, It doesn't tell you which direction the radar threat is coming from. It has saved me from at least one ticket in the past six months, so its paid for itself. I believe the best part is that it makes me drive more aware of my surrounds and I actually find myself slowing down more. Its kind of a speeding preventer for me. If that makes sense. I would recommend getting the best radar you can afford.

    Uniden over Escort? Who woulda thunk!

    My girlfriend bought this for me for Christmas and I was at first disappointed that it was not an Escort Passport. I always considered them to be the best. She said that a Best Buy associate actually recommended the Uniden over the Escort. I checked out the reviews and the BB associate was correct and this thing is awesome!

    I like it for it's accurate warnings and it's ease of mounting however the speed numbers (GPS reading) is difficult to see when wearing sunglasses.

    Ticket saver for sure. Bought this for a cross country road trip. Gave me a heads up miles out on some pretty sneaky troopers. Spots them from the rear, up ahead or coming from opposite direction. Has laser function; that has only gone off once and fortunately I was well under the limit. You wont regret this purchase.

    This has to be one of the best radars I have bought!!! This thing has saved me multiple times and it comes with a nice carrying case. It’s not too small and not too big, very easy to use.

    This works really good. Definitely saved me from a few tickets. It alerts about 2 miles usually. In the city it’s a little iffy on the range but I can’t complain. It gets the job done

    OK, obviously I wouldn't purchase this unless there's a reason. I'm not exactly the most adherent to speed limits, and I don't really want tickets. My old radar detector was going on 20 years old, so it was time for an upgrade. This thing is great; has excellent range and a display that I love.

    On a recent trip from Texas to Florida, and back, this thing has already paid for itself. Nice to be able to filter out K and X bands totally--Most likely no body uses those any more for speed enforcement

    This Uniden Radar Detector works great. It does a very good job at picking up radar guns. Yes, it picks up other frequencies but it does a good job at making them quiet and not annoying. Would highly recommend.

    This radar detector works great. Much better than my 9500ix, which is an older model. It’s small and easy to install. The range allows for plenty of warming time.
