Title: Great Purchase - Even for first time users
Review: Just to start this off I wanted to say that this is my first radar detector so I do not have any knowledge in comparison to other brands/models.With that being said, I have had a great experience in the 18 months I’ve owned this detector.It works very well, picking up both k & ka band for up to miles away on the freeways and a very generous distance during city driving. The laser feature also works very well and is a tone that quickly gets your attention.This device is also very user friendly/simple to use. I learned all of the features within the first week and let me tell you - the mute memory feature is a life saver with the constant K band interference you are bound to run into.I always have left my detector on Highway mode (I understand this is the most sensitive mode) and I can confidently say that this detector has saved me from multiple tickets (especially the sneaky speed vans/motorcycle cops in town).Also the build quality of this thing is no joke. Not a single button has began to wear out and everything feels just as solid as it did day 1. This is with it having been in my front windshield (exposed to both OR & AZ seasons) every day of ownership.It has fit well in multiple of my vehicles and the only draws I could possibly come up with is that occasionally I have to remount the suction cup due to changes in temperature overnight as well as some passengers having called it annoying (I’m sure they’d say the same about any radar detector). With that being said, I forget it’s there most of the time and it’s simply become a part of my alertness while driving.Great product with no issues thus far. I recommend this to all friends and family.

Title: Great Radar Detector
Review: This is my first radar detector, so I had to do some research online before buying. After 1 week I absolutely love this radar detector. The R3 performs extremely well IMO. Initial alerts chirp slowly. Chirps get faster as you get closer to the source. When the chirps hit a solid tone you can usually figure out the location of the source. IMO there's a sufficient amount of time from the first alert chirp to the steady tone to allow you to check your speed. You can set different tones for different bands of radar which is super helpful too.There are lots of settings that can be adjusted which is nice, but it also means that it will take some time to familiarize yourself with the detector.The best feature IMO is the GPS which allows me to flag spots with known false alerts by pressing "mute" twice, so that the detector doesn't alarm at that spot. The suction cup mounting bracket is well designed. I can mount it quickly and release it quickly with a press of a button. I wish it came with a hard wire install kit though because the worst feature is the included power. It's the standard coiled wire that plugs into the 12v cig lighter. It's just not aesthetically pleasing to have a power cord hanging in the middle of the windshield.

Title: Easy to setup and use, very sensitive
Review: This may be my most favorite purchase of all time. I have found this unit to be incredibly useful, has a long detection range, seems to be very sensitive and accurate. Set up was easy. What I find most useful is the fact that the detection chirp starts well in advance of visually being able to identify the source iiof the radar, which is very useful when driving. I liked it so much that I bought another for a family member as well, and we have had no problems with either unit. Well worth the price. Would highly recommend.

Title: Excellent! Better than Passport 9800ix (the previous King)
Review: (Update to review) June 2023, 3 & a half years of use. Still going strong. The best single antenna radar detector I've used. Especially for Ka band. I've disabled X band and reduced K sensitivity. Remember to buy a heavy duty windshield mount for it as the suction cups that come with it are not of great quality. They are hard and often fail to stay put.I have seen people complain about it detecting other cars and sounding false alarms, like the reviewer "Zero" mentioned. But, I have kept that issue at bay with updating the device with newest firmware every 6 months, and updating database ensuring all the newest speed camera locations are saved on the device. If your firmware is old, then it obviously will not have information about newest car models with their new radar frequencies, specifically newer Honda and Acura models. The latest firmaware update that I've done was from Oct 2022, and has two K blocks to keep the R3 quiet near vehicles with parking radar systems. With those two K blocks enabled, you can keep your quiet mode as low as 25mph and your detector will not give you any false alarms.If someone complains that their 2019 bought radar detector is not detecting 2022 Honda parking radar, they need to listen to themselves and think about what they are saying. Update the firmware regularly, and you should be just fine.---------------------(Original review) Let me get one thing out of the way first. Those small suction cups to hold the detector on windshield, suck! But that's where all the bad ends.I've replaced an Escort Passport 9500ix with Uniden R3. Initially, I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do. But, now I'm certain it was. I did have some trouble with false alarms every time I passed one of the newer Hondas and Acuras. But after updating the firmware, the issue is gone. Updating required downloading USB interface software (to have the computer detect the device), installer software and the latest upgrade file. All were found on one page of Uniden website with step by step instructions.One important thing. I'm using a generic smart cable that I bought for my Passport device on Amazon. I got it because the cable was long and I ran it hidden inside the dash. I'm using the same cable for the R3 and it works fine. Except the mute button on the plug wouldn't mute the R3. All lights work though. I use the mute on the device itself.The device has excellent range, minimum false alarms, and a great Quiet Ride feature. I miss auto mute on 9800ix, but Mute Memory on R3 is just fine. One small price to pay for an otherwise better detector.

Title: It’s ok
Review: Works okay and great price but limited. Apparently getting the SE software from mithheru on rd forums makes this thing unbelievably better. I don’t like relying on others or having to wait (waited over 14 days and still no message) so I returned and bought a r8.

Review: I bought this knowing full well it wouldn't work in the UK, which it doesn't.. Well it does, it picks up X, K & KA bands very well but we're talking traffic lights, automatic doors etc.. And the GPS database for speed cameras and red light cameras obviously doesn't work because it's loaded with the USA database.You can, however, visit and register to join RDforum and receive the correct update files and UK gps database from there for a small fee.All very easy to do.Its now perfect!

Review: Seems to work on gatso cameras. That's the fixed camera at side of the road. And does not go off if there's no camera in the gatso. Not had chance to test on a mobile speed camera van. I'd say watch videos on you tube.

Review: i bought this detector and another off ebay for a family member, this detector was having speaker issues right out of the gate so i got refunded for it, now 6 months later the one from ebay is doing the same thing, i highly recommended buying a 10 pack of replacement speakers for these things because they love to blow and stop working(can be found on ebay search up 28mm 16ohm speaker), but seriously come on uniden i expect way better out of something i paid almost 600 dollars for, i ran a cheap whisper brand detector for years before i got this one and never had an issue with the speaker, looking online this seems to be a very common issue with these detectors, fix your detector uniden, there should be a recall for these
