Uniden DFR3NZ Long Radar Detector 360° Radar and Laser Detection, Band Detected and Signal Strength Indicator

A good first radar detector, especially if you can get it at a discounted price.

Pros

- Good detection of the kA band on police cruisers, has always detected them within a few hundred meters.This is a reasonable detection range depending on your speed. Handy when a cruiser is driving with its radar on, or when parked up watching the road.
- Cheap and small, easy to tuck into the corner of the windshield.
- Audible alerts are distinct between different detected bands.
- Alert volume is analog control, so can be set to barely audible or very very loud.

Cons
- DOES NOT DETECT SPEED CAMERA VANS. Not much of a fault of the unit considering it...view more A good first radar detector, especially if you can get it at a discounted price.

- Alert volume is analog control, so can be set to barely audible or very very loud.

Cons
- DOES NOT DETECT SPEED CAMERA VANS. Not much of a fault of the unit considering its price and technological limitations but should be understood before purchase. Nothing in this price range will detect those vans so trust your eyes and judgement instead.
- The K Band goes off frequently when passing trucks and some cars with lane/collision detection, and some automatic opening doors in shops. Signal strength alert threshold can be set higher using the Highway, City, City1 modes but still gives false positives often.
- Power/Volume control is on the left side of the unit, and the power cable plugs into the right side of the unit. Meaning if you have it in the centre of your dash, the controls are away from the driver. If you have it on the driver's side corner of the windshield as intended, you'll need to deal with the power cable crossing over/under the steering wheel or routing the cable through the dash.

Would recommend to others looking for a very entry-level detector.

It actually works well .. gives a different sound for each type of radar and detects unmarked cars and hiding patrol cars well in advance. Gives peace of mind on long trips in case you go over the limit.

Works pretty well, K band filter for the city fails quite often if you are really in the city. Will work around corners most of the time, but there are definitely situations where using your eyes works better.
