Customers are saying

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.

    Selling my Redline!

    I ran the 2 side by side for a week. I spent a few days making the R3 behave like the Redline, then compared the performance. The Redline will win if I turned it up but it's only useful in the Midwest with open roads. In the city or metro you have to moderate both detectors to a useable level. The big difference is the gps and ability to block and remember without having to use an app on my phone. With the right segmentation settings both of them false alarm rarely. But overall the R3 was quieter and detected a bit sooner with similar settings.

    I’ve had the Uniden R3 for about 3 weeks now. It’s very user friend, it has an easy to read display and provides precise alerts at a decent distance. Nothing extriodinary like 1/2 mile, but just enough distance to adjust your speed. Truth be told, if you pay attention to your surroundings while driving, save yourself some money and don’t buy it. If you’re not that alert while driving over the limit, this device will save you money from getting a speeding ticket.

    If you enjoy spirited driving this thing gives you a heads up well in advance. Most of the time I can’t even see what it’s pinging for a minute or two. It is sensitive to automatic doors which might get bothersome to you, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. False positives are better than missed positives in my opinion. And all of the higher end ones will also have the same issue.

    This thing is awesome, catches cops two miles away, sometimes it’s so far that it just seems like a false alarm until you see the cop passing on the other side. Very quiet and limited false alarms. Overall very happy with it, love it!

    This radar is an upgrade for my Beltronic detector. Its double the price! Been using it for two weeks now and I have notice it picks up a lot more signals then the old one. You ll have to teach it where the false alerts are and it learns can be annoying at first. It definitely detect sooner then my old radar.

    Uniden really stepped their game up with the R3. My favorite feature is the mute memory GPS location, that alone is awesome. Range of K and Ka band is awesome, has saved quite a few times from getting a ticket. Does pick up Laser well if someone is getting tagged up the road from you.
