I got this today! It looked mint, can't tell it was refurb other than a vague sticker on bottom saying "factory serviced".

FYI EVERYBODY WHO BOUGHT THIS: UPDATE THE FIRMWARE!

The firmware that it came with was 121.122.111 which is OLD.
Newest firmware is 129.129.113.

Download from here: http://www.uniden.info/download/index.cfm?s=R7 (top link)

1) Extract the zip file.
2) Install Uniden R Series SW Download Tool V1.28.msi
3) Open that software (It should be on your desktop as "Uniden R Series SW Download Tool V1.28")
4) Plug in the R7, it should say connected and read the version number.
5) Open r7_v129.129.113_db191002.bin, click start download. When this is done, go to step 6.
6) Open DB_20200106.bin 2nd, click download
7) Done - it's updated.




edit: I just tried it on my R3 suction cup mount. Didn't work. Have to use the R7 mount.

Quote from Ohsighrus :
Compare sales to sales; don't compare a refurbished on sale to a full priced non-refurb not on sale. $500 is full price, $420-$450 is the normal Amazon price at any point of the week. Also pretending 90 day warranty is anywhere near as good as a 1 year warranty is ludicrous.



"yOu WoN'T nEeD a WaRrAnTy!" <- If the company didn't think you would need it, then they would give you the 1 year on their refurbs. It's all cost analyst. But yeah you do you.

How the eff do you think they ended up with so many refurbs so quickly into it being released if they didn't have a ton returned under warranty? https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...ies2/peace.gif

https://www.reddit.com/r/radardet...niden_r7s/ [reddit.com]

"I preordered an R7 and it died a few months later and was replaced under warranty ( https://old.reddit.com/r/radardet...ied_today/ [reddit.com] ). The replacement died within a week - it won't power on at all. At first I thought it was the power adapter that came with it, but my mirror tap and my R3's power adapter also don't work. My R3, on the other hand (which was a refurb) is still chugging along just fine."

You guys can be so silly with your lack of logic.
Lookie Loo People buy new electronics products after they are released to check them out and compare them. then they return them during the return period. anything that is returned has to be sold as refurbished.
I bet a lot of youTube "reviewers" also buy & return.

You completely ignored the multiple citations of manufacturer issues that have been shared to the communities that support these devices. There is a plethora of people who had issues with these on release.

On top of this; you're wasting my time quoting me in a 2 month old dead thread? Jesus dude, talk about low quality posting. Real genius man, thanks for sharing your input. Peace

okay.

your link to 1 reddit post is real quality too.

I'm researching a Uniden R7 purchase and looking at this thread. your post about returns and refurbished units doesn't really mean a particular product is bad, every single item that is manufactured has returns and refurbished units available for purchase.
