Uniden R7

Wow, prices have really dropped today. Had to get a second one . . .

Not sure if I'm able to post links to retailers, so I won't.

Thanks, I paid $548 in 2019! That said it was worth it and still is. I have an R3 also and as far as range and sensitivity there's not much daylight but the arrows on the R7 are huge. The size and button location of the R7 could be better though. At the currant price I may re-gift the R3.

I got my first one at full price when it came out - definitely worth it then, and with the most recent firmware update with auto-lockouts and improved filtering it's even better.

Does blend mount have the mount ready for the cars with the rearview mirror camera (such as the 2021 zl1, etc)??

Not sure if I can say, but it is very very large on line retailer . . .

As of this moment price is still very low, obviously don't know how long it will last.

Full price or sale, the equipment is worth the cost. Cry now, smile for miles later.

Anyway, latest firmware has auto lockouts - you have to look at RDForum https://www.rdforum.org/threads/108504/. It's not on the official Uniden site yet; it's pretty good, but needs a little tweaking.

Got that and installed it thanks, deleted all my manual lockouts and going for a ride to check it out. I just looked up my order for the R3, I paid $399 in 2018...

Yep, $399 for my R3 in 2017, $599 for my R7 in 2019.

So don't forget for the auto lockouts each one takes effect after 3 consecutive passes with the same alert/signal at least 24 hours apart; each lockout goes away if there are 2 consecutive passes with no signal (at least that's my understanding).

Beware, there's a scam going around where instead of delivering your item a package of hairbands is delivered. This happened to me today. It was an Amazon delivery person, sealed bubble wrap package, obviously not a radar detector. I did not open the package. Called Amazon and told them what happened, they will be sending out a replacement. Hopefully won't happen again.

So feel how heavy the package is - if it's very light don't open it, and call.
