Because of a global shortage of GPS Chipsets and Semiconductors we are advised by Uniden that there will be no more R7 stock until Mid August.
The New Uniden R7-NZ is the flagship model for the brand.The R7 is not a teeny-tiny detector by any means.
and for a good reason. The text on it is larger than Uniden models before, which helps in its readability. It has a light sensor and an auto dimming function that is dependent on the lighting conditions.
Directional arrows are located on all sides of the display: right, left, front and rear. And these can show alerts simultaneously, maxed out at four while also indicating the signal strength from each direction.
Depending on the strength, the arrows will change from green for weak, yellow for medium, to red for strong.
This is a strong contender for the Best Window Mount detector.

My Review of the Uniden R7 NZ is great so far.
The best detection I’ve had against redflex camera vans 250m.

1 line summary: The R7 is the best thing since sliced bread.
My experience with the R7 to date has been a joy.
It comes with the bands for NZ Ka already setup, and coupled with following Vortex Radar’s YouTube instructions, it’s a cinch to understand and setup.
The sensitivity and range is well documented and I can only concur. Detection of Ka always-on Radar is measured in Kms, over brows, around obstructions, it’s always given heaps of warning – and this is why directional is so useful – with the R3 it was always a guess where it was coming from. With the R7 you know.
K band detection fixed van cameras are the bane for detectors as the beam is low-powered and slant, and many people run their detectors with K turned off due to falsing, and the fact that they get very little, if any, warning of a van.
Not so the R7! K filtering even with K-filtering OFF is exceptionally good, as is the GPS lockouts
K van warning is exceptionally good, giving plenty of time to respond – far better than my old V1, and I suspect most other detectors.
Both windscreen mounts are excellent, except the twin suction cup one wobbles – annoying rather than a problem. The single cup solid plastic one I have permanently in my daily driver, as I’ve found they don’t perform well with repeated on-off use. The twin cup one I use to shift between other vehicles. Best suction cups ever!
There’s a lot of conjecture about whether Mike Valentine is working on a new detector. The diehard disciples of the messiah of radar detection are living in hope! I have no doubt that if he is it’ll be an exceptional product. Meanwhile the Uniden R7 is the best all-in-one solution.
