    The Uniden R3BLK DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector stands out in the crowded field of radar detectors with its advanced features and robust performance. Here’s a detailed look at what makes this model noteworthy: Design and Build: The Uniden R3BLK sports a sleek, matte black finish that gives it a modern, understated look. The design is compact yet sturdy, with a solid feel that suggests durability. The display is clear and easy to read, even in bright sunlight, and the intuitive layout of buttons and controls makes operation straightforward. Performance: One of the R3BLK’s most significant strengths is its impressive range. The detector’s advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology ensures excellent sensitivity, providing long-range detection of radar and laser signals. This feature is especially useful for detecting speed traps well in advance, giving you ample time to adjust your speed. The R3BLK offers multiple radar bands including X, K, Ka, and SuperWide Ka, along with laser detection capabilities. The sensitivity settings are customizable, allowing you to fine-tune the detector according to your driving environment. This customization helps reduce false alerts from automatic door openers and other non-threat signals. Features: The Uniden R3BLK is packed with features designed to enhance your driving experience. The voice alerts are clear and easily understandable, providing timely notifications without being overly intrusive. The unit also includes a GPS lockout feature, which helps filter out false alarms from fixed locations like grocery store doors. One notable feature is the “Mute” button, which allows you to silence false alerts with a single press, ensuring you’re only notified about genuine threats. Additionally, the R3BLK has a comprehensive database of known speed camera locations, which can be updated as needed to keep the information current. Ease of Use: The R3BLK is user-friendly, with an easy-to-navigate menu and straightforward setup process. The display is bright and adjustable, allowing you to customize its brightness according to your preference. The user manual is thorough, providing clear instructions on how to set up and utilize all of the detector’s features effectively. Mounting and Portability: The detector comes with a suction cup mount that securely attaches to your windshield. The mount is adjustable, allowing you to position the detector for optimal performance. The unit’s compact size ensures that it doesn’t obstruct your view while driving. However, if you frequently move the detector between vehicles, the mounting system might require occasional adjustment. Value for Money: At its price point, the Uniden R3BLK offers excellent value. It combines high-end performance with a range of features that justify its cost. For those who are serious about radar detection and want a reliable device that provides solid performance and minimal false alerts, the R3BLK is a strong contender. Conclusion: Overall, the Uniden R3BLK DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector is a high-performing, feature-rich device that delivers on its promises. Its long-range detection, customizable settings, and user-friendly interface make it a standout choice for drivers who need reliable radar and laser detection. While it may be a bit pricier than some entry-level models, its advanced capabilities and robust performance make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking top-tier protection on the road.

    Outstanding radar detector!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This detector is fantastic! It's got the longest range out of any detector on the market at any price. It has excellent false alert filtering, lots of useful features, and is more capable than detectors that cost hundreds of dollars more. I've got a whole bunch of detectors and this is the one I run day to day because it offers me the highest level of protection. The range is outstanding so if you're looking at giving yourself the very best shot at detecting radar before the cop ahead can pick you up, this is the one to get. The K band filter can filter out most blind spot monitoring false alerts (Honda/Acura/GM are the main exceptions.. no detector can filter out those yet), it has a GPS chip (unlike the Uniden R1) which lets you quiet the detector down when driving through town at low speeds, you can double press the mute button when you encounter a false alert from a speed sign or nearby automatic door opener and it'll learn and remember that signal so it mutes it for you in the future, and it can alert you to nearby redlight cameras and speed cameras. Finally, unlike most other detectors on the market, it is also undetectable by radar detector detectors. This detector has proved extremely popular among radar detector enthusiasts and is generally the one I recommend. What about other detectors to consider? You've got the V1 and Max360 if you want arrows (yes the R3 can pick up signals from all directions too.. it just can't tell you if the signal is ahead or behind). The Max360 or Redline EX can also learn where stationary false alerts are around town like the R3, but unlike the R3 which requires you to manually teach it what's a false alert in the beginning, the Escorts can learn and filter those out automatically, hands-free, after you pass by them several times. There's also remote detectors available like the Net Radar and Stinger VIP if you don't want something mounted on your windshield. There's lots of excellent detectors available on the market. However, for the highest level of protection and an all-around excellent radar detector, the Uniden R3 is the one to get.

    I've had this unit for almost three months now. The best one I've had. Excellent value. Yes, there are cheaper units, but for what this one does and how well it does it, you won't find anything better. Yes, you will need to learn how to do the initial setup, but there are plenty of resources on the internet to help you do that easily. What I like about this RD: 1) It's thoroughly configurable. 2) It does a really good job at rejecting false alerts, like car proximity detection systems. 3) It picks up radar a really long way away. I've detected signals as far as 3 miles. 4) You can tell it to ignore things that give you regular false alerts, like door openers. The RD has built in GPS, so it knows where the false alerts you are, and keeps you RD silent as you go past them. Folks, once you get this thing configured and dialed-in, PAY ATTENTION to it and slow down when it goes off. Every single time I've done this, there's a radar unit somewhere nearby, and I have get to get clocked over posted speed as a result. You can buy a cheaper on, sure. I did. Then I returned it and bought this one. TOTALLY WORTH IT. Drive safe!

    A Radar Detector that Delivers

    I bought the Uniden R3 after doing some research online and reading positive reviews from other users. I have to say, this radar detector exceeded my expectations. It has a very long range and can detect various bands and lasers with high accuracy. It also has a built-in GPS that can alert me of red light cameras and speed traps, as well as a mute memory feature that can filter out false alerts from common sources. The display is clear and easy to read, and the device is user-friendly and customizable. I especially like the all threat mode that shows up to four radar bands in the area, ranked by signal strength. The Uniden R3 is a great radar detector for the price and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and effective device. It is definitely worth 4.5 stars out of 5.

    I've had this radar detector for quite some time now and after plenty of use, I have decided that it's entirely better than any one of my friends' Radar detectors. It picks up on everything and it's very accurate as well. It has many features as well as customizable options. You can change the color of the display, choose what you want on it as well, Change the clock to a compass instead, or show your frequencies, dim the backlight, or even mark a location (for regular speed traps) utilizing its built-in GPS. I've recommended this product to a few of my friends and so far whoever has gotten it continues to recommend it. It's built well and has a very secure suction cup. It doesn't droop from your dash or look cheap in any way. Great product overall.
