HIGHWAY VS CITY MODE
Uniden’s R3 radar detector operates in three different frequency (X, K, and Ka band) sensitivity modes -
Highway, City, and City 2. Highway mode is the most sensitive, with maximum detection ranges while on the
highway or open road. City and City 2 are on the lower end of the detection scale for city driving. These two
modes reduce sensitivity so that false signals (such as from automatic door openers) are filtered out.
Under factory default conditions (X band = off on all bands, K and Ka bands = on), the band sensitivities are:
x Highway: X band off; K and Ka band full sensitivity.
x City: X band off and K band sensitivity reduced; Ka band full sensitivity.
x City 2: X band off. K band sensitivity reduced. Ka full sensitivity.
Turn X band on in the menus with K and Ka bands still on (default); the mode sensitivities are:
x Highway: X, K, and Ka band full sensitivity.
x City: X and K band sensitivity reduced; Ka band full sensitivity.
x City 2: X band off. K band sensitivity reduced. Ka band full sensitivity.
If a band is turned off through the menus, it is off in all modes; however, X band is always off in City 2 mode,
regardless of menu setting.
POP MODE
In POP mode, the R3 can detect short burst from radars that are too fast for many other detectors to catch. You
can turn POP mode on and off in the Menu system.
