Just worked for me ($340 OTD). In the checkout use PMAY4TH for 15% off. This is an eBay-wide discount. If you go to their front page you will see an advertisement for this coupon - today only.

Don't know what this was going for but came to suggest the Valentine one. I've had everything from cheaper cobras to Escort passport and beltronics (loved it until I got my V1). To me the Valentine 1 has plenty of capabilities - I honestly don't need a fancy screen on my RD. My V1 has saved me many times when I was shocked to see just how far out it alerted me before I passed the alert.
Stuff like this I research to death before I buy, and the Valentine just seems like it comes out on top year after year. Just my 2 cents. I don't know anything about this uniden RD but the v1 has been around for a while. Add the BT module to the V1 and you can customize it with free apps as well.

So far so good. I haven't messed with the settings other than the colors and display but was definitely excited to lock out the false X alerts I get often with the V1 - almost always grocery stores with auto open doors. But the R3 is good enough it recognizes them as false and doesn't even alarm. I do miss the arrows, but regardless I always slow down anyway. The R7 price was too high for me to consider, for now... Seems the R3 does just fine holding its own at the 399 price point!
So far: I appreciate the informative screen with K/Ka band range and voice alerts (something I never thought I'd care about) and MUCH less chatter than the V1. I actually thought I got a lemon because it is so much more quiet. Plus the menu, being able to tweak settings without an app or special BT dongle. Maybe I'll run the V1 side by side and see how it does next time I'm running a trip out of town with stretches of highway that are prime speed traps.

mayorblurpsGlad you like it!
I like the the settings menu, too. I just wish they gave 5 more seconds before the menu times-out.
There are SO many settings to toggle through, I think it would be great if Uniden would allow us to do batch setting adjustments while hooked up thru the USB after a firmware upgrade. It would only take seconds to do that on the PC, but it takes me awhile in the car due to the awkward angle of where I mounted it, combined with the fact that I refer to a cheat sheet and take too long to find my noted preference...then the menu times out and I have start again. Lol, what a crybaby I am.

Rusfi1983It is legal, but can get triggered by smart car systems such as mobileye, and any other radar warning systems, which are now mandatory in any new car that gets on the road in Israel since January 1st 2018, so it is pretty much useless.
Also most of the police guys with laser guns only shoot the laser when they see someone speeding, not before, and most of the times it is too late, it will only work if someone in front of you just got shot with the laser, so he will be there getting his speeding ticket while you pass by - so again useless in this situation.
Also the Dvora radar which is inside the police car while it drives was declared not viable by the court in Israel.
Best spend your money on something else here on MD.

gbaltar75The Uniden R3 crushes the V1 in every category, range, features, ability to lock out, colored display.....etc. I bought a brand new R3 and a brand new V1 to compare them... V1s were my favorite until the Redline and now the R3.

gbaltar75I would agree with nickbrioc, at least on features, because I don't know how their ranges compare. But the R3 does not have the fabled arrows. Perhaps the next TOTL Uniden model will. I think that prospect is a good possibility as well considering how R3s are selling like hot cakes.
