Got this to replace my older Escort 9500xi, and it absolutely blew it away. R7 has the longest range of any non-custom installed radar detector produced. I get about a 2-3 mile alarm before I see the cop who has his radar on. It's almost too far of a range and may have more false positives.

My $500 Radar/Laser detector was good for one thing... letting me know I just got a ticket. In my area, all the cops switched over to lasers awhile ago and stopped using radar. The new laser guns shoot a much narrow beam and I heard even newer ones can do multiple beams. Removed the laser detector and sold it and unless your area uses radar, I wouldn't recommend these. What I needed was a laser jammer which is illegal in my state.

I just learned the hard way that if you want to upgrade to firmware 1.35 with the auto-lockouts feature, Uniden does not yet host that version on their site. Their latest version is 1.33. Vortex Radar made 1.35 available here:

Quote from FearAndLoathing View quoted comment :
Fake comments to make you buy.

Deletion of my last comment proves it.
Your other and basically identical comment is still there. People who buy off hype will buy with fake or real comments anyway.

I'm a real person with no affiliation to anything sold anywhere and I'll still fanboy out over this detector. The R7 was just released when I got my R3. I really wish I got the R7 but I simply could not afford it. I LOVE my R3 but will eventually upgrade to the R7 for the arrows. Anyone who owns a detector knows how valuable they are.

TLDR: buy this detector at this price if you are on the fence!

Excellent point, especially on parkways. Now you're making me consider one, lol, anyone here wants to buy a gently used R1? I'm also selling my RX65

Arrows or not, I've seen state patrol parked on the center dirt island, pointing one way and make U turns.

Police cars have reverse gears and can just drive over dirt to catch people.

I already have an R3, but someone just reminded me that state troopers are parked on the middle of the highway too, that justifies getting the R7 now

Would power plug from DFR9 fit this one. The reason is so I can just easily bring from one car to another.

They're $400+ here in Northern California Frown

Does this work well in California? I'm in the Bay Area, and the couple times I got a speeding citation, they used lidar.
CHP speed enforcement aircraft/drones also a threat?
