About UNIDEN R3 EXTREME LONG RANGE Laser/Radar Detector
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
86% praised for its accurate alerts, but 14% encountered false alarms
The radar can detect accurately from about 3/4 a mile away.
After taking several highway trips with the product, I am blown away with its accuracy.
The detector accurately detects K and Ka traps miles away and has a great GPS database of speed cameras.
I had to send back the radar detector because it wasn't picking up Ka. The replacement also doesn't start properly.
80% praised the sleek and compact design, but 20% found it flimsy and cheaply made
I like the single suction pad mount as it seems solid and durable.
I expected a higher quality build and longer warranty period from a top-of-the-line $400 product.
85% appreciated its long detection range, while 15% found it limited
The radar detector has a good detection range and can detect a cop long before I am detected, even over hills, curves, trees, and buildings.
I found the radar detector useless at short range as it only detected the police car at a distance of 30 ft instead of 100 ft.
The detection range of radar-detectors is not always as advertised. One should not expect it to detect radar from miles away in the real world.
88% found it easy to operate
I am now able to detect the invisible Ka signals from the road pirates with plenty of warning.
I love the power cord with a mute button on the plug, which makes it easy to use.
The radar detector is easy to set up and detects the cop long before I am detected, even over hills, curves, trees, and buildings.
I found it easy to implement GPS lockouts by pushing the button on the power adapter twice, which helped me lockout annoying automatic doors/other false alerts without having to reach for the detector.
74% liked the sound quality, but 26% found it too low
The sound has stopped working and there seems to be a short in the cable. The unit still works but the sound is not coming out.
The speaker stopped working in less than 2 months of usage, which is a significant issue for me as a radar detector without sound can be a big problem.
I became frustrated with the lack of sound regulation options on the radar detector, which made driving in the city unbearable.
