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.

    Have owned The R1 and R3. Both lost sound thru both the external speaker and the headphone Jack within 15 months. On my second unit (R3) I purchased the Best Buy 2 year extended warranty in addition to the factory Uniden warranty because of the premature failure of the R1. Was worth it as now I have had to move to the R7 in hopes that it will last a little longer than the other 2. Had to pay the difference between the R3 and R7. All the units are super sensitive and provide excellent protection from K and Ka police Radar exceeding the prior Valentine and Escort models. but the competitor's models both last forever. I have witnessed an Escort 360 Come off a Mototcycle at speed, tear the plastic protector off the forward facing horn and it still works.. No excuse for Uniden (a seasoned electronics manufacturer) to produce something shoddily constructed. As mine were babied in my truck and have never been dropped or otherwise abused. In short. Great long range detector but only when it is working. Beware Screen Burn In and Speaker Failure or... Buy the Extended Warranty and relax.!! You'll probably want one of the new Artificial Intelligence models they are working on in a couple years anyway. Lol. **purchase date 8/24/2020 refers to R7 unit**

    Great sensitivity. Be prepared for lots of false positives from speed sensing sign warnings. No way around that as they are automated radar detectors. Combine with Waze and you will have lots of warning

    As described, this is a very long range radar detector, it sights the cops radar gun from far, best way to avoid speeding tickets.

    Have done testing with this against our Max 360 and it picks up all police radar, especially Ka-band, long before our Max 360 does.

    Was deciding between a more expensive Uniden or Escort model with directional arrows but for a couple hundred bucks less decided on the R3 as it has all of the other features. I bought prior to July 4th weekend travel and it came through. Saved me from a small town speed trap as well as alerted a mile or more consistently on the interstate.

    This detector has great sensitivity and gives very good notice of radar. I will reconsider this in the future if the filters to nearby newer cars can be bettered. Overall works great if it could filter the junk.

    This will sniff out Ka band radar at times up to 3 miles away on a straight run two lane road with very little hills, traffic or bad weather. On avg with traffic or a major 4 lane highway it's reliable down to around 1-2 miles. 9 out of 10 times you will sniff out his radar gun before he has a visual on you. Solid $300 detector.

    Wellllll hate that i need this but I have a speeding problem. So it is nice to be alerted in advance when there is someone radaring ahead. Also nice that it tells me about traffic cameras and stationary radar cameras.

    Nice detector. Works well. Price is a bit high. Display is good. comes with smart cord, suction cup mounts (small and large). Would be nice to have hard wire with it. Seems to work good.
