Uniden R1/R3 sensitivity?
Those of you with the new Uniden R1/R3 detectors, hows your sensitivity?
I think I have a dud because I keep ready and seeing Youtube vids on how this thing detects radar from miles away where with mine, I'm almost on top of the LEO. What kind of results are you guys getting? Anyone in the Balto Metro area have one were I can stop by to do a comparison to see if yours might be more/less sensitive to mine?

In Baltimore County w/R1. I'm not really certain of any places that guarantee a speed trap. If you wanted to try to test early on a Sat. or Sun morning, maybe on 83 - let me know. Or if you want to exchange detectors for a week or so.
Have verified a .7 mile and two .5-mile detections that were NOT line of sight and there was a lot of interference of buildings, elevation and trees. I also think I had a laser warning, but never saw law enforcement. I also think, but not really sure the mechanism, but that cops power down their guns for short range detection. |

I'd love to test on 83, but I never see them running radar there.. At least north of 695. Do you think a LEO might leave his radar on at the detention center there in Towson?

Lets try to work something out. I'll check WAZE more often for speed traps. |

That speed camera never sets my detector off, probably some sonar activation ?
