I have Uniden R3 and 4 and older passport 8500 and 9500xi, all excellent with audible warnings (the important part), but I do not like the newer OLED displays, impossible to read in daylight whereas the older passport regular LEDs you can easily see.

I am running a segmented R7 and have given considerable thought into swapping to a V1. How did you install yours? Blendmount or Windshield?

I also run an R7. It has great range and I appreciate the ability to tune it to the frequencies used by LE where I live or happen to be traveling. It has more than paid for itself.

I have thr 360C and with the top down, which it always is, I cannot see the display. I have to go by the arrows, very, very, annoying!

Also, if you feel you should slow down, for a possible official reason, you are on cruise control, hit the cancel button, not the brakes. No need to advertise you knew you were speeding.

I've had a Uniden R3 in my 2017 Z07 since I purchased it (new).

It still works great, and is probably less expensive now than when I bought it years ago!
