Discover the Uniden R3 Radar Detector – Trusted Accuracy and Reliability

This is my first radar detector so I don’t have much to base off of. So far, it has been working well for me. It is easy to use. I have detected cop’s Ka band from over a mile away. The only complaint is the amount of false K band alerts I get. Aside from that, this is a good enough detector for price you pay.

Very good product, saved me from several tickets.

I have had my R3 for about 5 or 6 years now, and I can say it has saved me enough to pay for itself more times than I can count. Some don't understand that police can have a radar that they trigger themselves or otherwise triggers automatically and does not stay on constantly. For those, no radar detector in the world will ever detect them unless it catches a stray signal from it scanning another vehicle in the distance before reaching it. Mine has detected these types of signals up to 1-2 miles away on hilly 2-lane highways. Some police may not even be running radar, so not every police sighting is going to result in an alert like I have read in some complaints. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the left side of the display where the speed is displayed became unreadable a couple years ago if the screen color is set to anything other than amber. It does not affect the overall operation of the detector, and since it is out of warranty and I don't want to pay for the repair, I just opt to use the amber colored screen. Regardless, this is a great unit and has lasted baking on the dash of my truck through several hot Alabama summers. I have replaced the power cord once, but other than that and the screen, I have had no issues with it. Keep it updated with the newest firmware updates to reduce false alerts, and the R3 will serve you well!
