Uniden R3 Extreme Long-Range Laser/Radar Detector, Built-in GPS w/ Mute Memory, Voice Alerts

Radar works extremely good. Was able to see a Texas State Trooper in the darkness of night with almost a 1.5 mile distance to close. Gave ample time to slow down.

Nice, small and easy to set up device. I think the range might not be the highest out there, but it seems adequate without going to devices that cost twice as much.

Going to buy one for my stepson. I love mine

this works very well, its also easy to use and understand

This is the first radar detector I ever owned, I think it will be the last I will ever own. It has everything you need: extreme long range, quick reactivity to instant-on, gps lock-outs, and filtering. I will give you some of my stories with this radar. 1) I got a detection 1.8 miles away, but it was the best 1.8 mile detection. The terrain was HORRIBLE alot of hills up and down and of course, terrian is one of the biggest factors that decide how long the range is. 2) I have gotten instant-on at night when I was almost about to hit the gas pedal hard at night because I was sleepy. Without that instant on warning i was really going to get a ticket. And turns out the highway patrol was right behind me(I knew that when he then passed by me; you could barely even tell it was a highway patrol as the markings were hard to see because it was a black car with grey markings) 3) The K Band saved me from those police speed cameras(the movable ones they put down the street). Thats it for stories but let me tell you guys two things: 1) Do not speed at places where there is no cars because then you can get instant on and there is no way you can beat it. 2) I have heard that there is a uniden r7 coming out this April 2019 with about the same things that the r3 has. But the one coming out will have auto-lockouts and arrows. It will retail for 599$ so maybe if you want to wait and get one with arrows?

Modern features make this the best radar detector I've ever owned…I'm very impressed by the distance covered…many features…I'm still learning though the default settings are best choices for me…I like it…

Instructions are very clear and detector is easy to use. This one is much better than anything Cobra offers. The name fits as it does detect at a long distance.

Seems like a good detector. Really like its smaller size vs. the 360max. Does a good job of filtering out false alarms such as blind spot monitors equipped on newer vehicles. Nice that you can turn off X Band and reduce the sensitivity of K Band for city driving. GPS connects quickly, even in my garage. Picks up Ka band long before you see the source. Would be nice to have directional arrows but if that means a larger case, then skip the arrows. Very easy to lockout known false alarm sources just by pressing the mute/dim button twice. I hard wired the detector to my Ford Fusion and was even able to re-use the RJ11 cord that I had been using for my RX65 detector (nice that Uniden, Escort, and Beltronics all use a RJ11 with the same 12V pinout). I used a permanent windshield mount that uses two way tape to attach to the windshield, available for under 10 on eBay and something I highly recommend for a neat installation.

For the price, it is a decent unit. There were some others I would have preferred, but due to time constraints, price, and availability, it seems to do a good job. The price was reduced to $299 ($100 off), but delivery was available within 24 hours. I have no regrets, but there were some other units with a few other options available, which I would have liked, such as wifi for updates. This would have been a 5-star detector 10-15 years ago at $499, but for the price and its options, it is a solid 4-star. I can note that the false alarms are minimal. I ignored one at 5 miles over and received a warning. So, for that reason and several others, you can have a reasonable expectation, even with instant on, that there is a radar or laser in the vicinity.

after reviewing the different type of radar detectors, I think the R7 is a better deal and a better quality radar detector
