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.

    So far so good! Need to read on there to cut down on some of the background chatter from other security systems and stuff but so far it doesn’t bother me so I haven’t done it.

    I have both the Uniden R3 and R7 and would highly recommend them. The R3 has less bells and whistles, but is still highly configurable and has the same range performance. Vortex Radar has excellent reviews and videos for these devices.

    This is the one to have to go on a road trip. When it alerts you take the time and pay attention because it's really letting you know their is something up. So don't forget to watch out because this one is the best one you could ever purchase.

    This thing works beautifully! The included manual only teaches you so much...and is kind of confusing to follow. So to get the most use out of this device, do some online learning so you can feel more confident about the different frequencies and how specific they are for radar guns vs other electronics (ie automatic doors).

    Bought this as I did some back and forth traveling to Phoenix. I wanted something that wouldn’t break the bank, light weight, and had great reviews. Zeroes in on the Uniden. They saved me quite a few times along I-10.

    Have had it forever and still use it, don’t plan on getting rid of it until i upgrading because it’s double the price for something better.

    It had this small suction cup that you stick onto your windshield, but it doesn't stick all too well. It sticks well for it to stay on for a couple days, but it'll fall once you touch it after that. There is another suction cup thing that's bigger and is similar to a phone mount, but I'm not a fan of that. Other than that, it's great!

    Excellent detector! I Made the mistake and put my R3 into the wife’s car since she works and I am retired, It was never returned and she enjoyed having it in her car. This makes one in each car and couldn’t be happier with the purchase!

    Yes, this think actually works. It picked up every cop around me that had lasers on and K bands. I live in New York so around my area is state troopers. Yes it’s real and it does work.
