Newest 1.35 firmware .BIN download - https://www.rdforum.org/threads/108504/
Uniden R Series SW Download Tool (R7_20201013.zip file) Install the program, disregard the old firmware - https://www.uniden.info/download/index.cfm?s=R7
USB to UART Bridge Driver (if needed) https://www.silabs.com/developers...cp-drivers
Plug in the usb cable to your windows 10 pc. It should chime that a device was connected. Windows likely wont have a usb driver. Under "Device Manager" in windows, There will be a device called USB to UART Bridge and will likely be open with an icon stating no driver is installed. Update the driver by pointing it to the unzipped driver folder and it should install. Next run the program,it should automatically read the firmware (mine was 1.33). Click open under download file and point it to the 1.35 bin file and click start download at the bottom.

Anyways. I noticed that Blendmount makes an "Upgrade Clip" to convert the R3 Blendmount to an R7. Which is cheaper than buying a brand new mount for the R7.

Buddy, i had the R3 and just moved to the R7 and it is so nice to know what direction the signals is coming from. I cannot go back to the R3.
This does nothing more that my passport did and has less functionality. Supposedly better range, but I already got more than enough range from the passport. Highly suggest getting one of them off eBay if it's your first detector.
How are all those updates coming that were promised 16 months ago?
You know, the stuff my 9500ix had several years ago....automatic lockout of repeat falses, shared community GPS lockouts?
Yes. I wanted arrows.
The new firmware is nice too, I'm going to try and update over the weekend. Auto-lockout won't be coming to the R3, only the R7 (and probably new releases going forward).

Can't beat them copy them

Also thanks to this detector and other competitors the v1 finally created a new gen that doesn't look like it was still stuck in the 70s

You have to obcess over them to be any good.
No radio no conversation no scenery.....I just leave 5 min early everywhere now and cruise control just 7mph over speed limit NO tickets for YEARS now.
I do miss 120mph down back roads....but a Dad now so NO anyway LoL.

And? R3 and R7 have the same performance on 34.7 and 35.5, while R7 is 19.5% stronger on 33.8 (R3 is still the second best performing detector on 33.8 band and provides plenty of detection range): https://www.vortexradar
R7 is a stronger detector but is not best bang for the buck.

speeding ticket = $400+ each time
Top of the line radar detector = $400 - $500 one time purchase
you do the math.
