Customers are pleased with the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly its impressive range, performance comparable to the R7, and comprehensive radar detection capabilities. Many find it accurate and easy to use, especially considering the price. While false alarms are a concern for some, the device's GPS functionality and other features are appreciated, and the display is easy to read. The size is also seen as an improvement over the R7.

    This device is one of the most customizable and accurate detectors I have ever used. The GPS mark options and Signal and Speed cams are 99.5% accurate. I put 60k miles on my truck in 6 months and this was probably the single most best investment I could have made to keep me out of trouble. I would highly recommend this product to ANYONE.

    My first radar detector, super long range, it’s detected bogies well beyond my line of sight and in heavily wooded areas here in North Carolina. I would recommend this to anyone. Easy to use and keeps left foot & my wallet happy.

    Lot of bang for the buck with the R3. No problem with picking up radar and plenty of time to slow your roll. I do miss the arrows of the V1 at times, but more out of the box functionality and longer range with R3 offsets it. Just finishing up a 1500 mile vacation trip and worked very well. A little chirpy at times with some automaker's BSM systems.

    This unit is very likely the best unit available in its price range. It's sensitivity is awesome and has already saved me a DPS ticket. Picks up TX DPS Ka from enough distance to slow down. I had been using escorts, but the last two units reliability was the reason for the change.

    I bought this for a long distance trip and it worked flawlessly. It even has known "speed trap" locations updated seemingly daily. Downfall, if there is a dollar general store anywhere close to you, it will go off and will stay engaged until store is passed.

    I don't usually rate things but I will on this item. This is a really good detector, I got it after I started traveling again for work again. It has good range, is easy to use and program once you learn the settings. It has given me plenty of warning prior to encountering any police vehicles. Only two drawbacks, one is that the suction mount will not work on a dash, it holds for a few days then releases. The second is that it does not technically have a 360 detection range with an rear indicator.

    Works exactly as we needed it to, gives a large distance detection perfect for road tripping, commuting, or having fun on a Friday night. Easy to set up, and the mute memory is convenient for daily use!

    I was able to take this on a couple of trips. It definitely picked up a few cops before from quite a distance. This seems to be well worth it so far.

    I wanted something that wouldn’t break the bank and the uniden r3 delivered. I don’t get a lot of false alerts and the range is good. I usually get a few miles notice so that I have plenty of time to adjust speed

    Replaced an older escort.I couldn’t deal with the false alerts from blind spot monitors on the newer cars. The R3 filters out 99% of the crap while still providing great protection from real radar threats. If you need front and rear arrows get the R7 but for the money you cant beat the R3!

    I was going to buy Escort 360 because it’s having a 360 detection but after doing some research all radar Detectors have 360 front and rear Detection only it’s a marketing ploy for a escort 360 or another version of the escort they just have a rear antenna for arrows to tell you if the cop is in front of you or behind you my advice is do your home work this Uniden r3 have great range vs Uniden r7 for 200 hundred dollars more I didn’t see justifying difference in price I just bought a brand new pickup truck I think good I have in my truck I don’t drive really fast but I like to drive about 70 miles mph even on the country highway that’s posted less speed limits

    The Uniden R3 so far seems to work pretty good, seems like mine is already set up since it doesn’t go off all the time like some users complain about. I had a Uniden before this one and the reason I did was because the windshield mount finally tore apart and I have had it for years, and wanted a new one. I am very satisfied with the Uniden R3.
