    Default Help me Quick, v940 with TSR vs. 693se

    I have a 693se that i can sell for $75 to a friend. I can buy a used V940, a newer one with tsr, for $90. Does m4 V940 compete with the kamax of the se whistlers?

    Is this wise? Am i trading down or up?

    thanks for the information. do you have any experience with K band?

    The pro-73 is a kamax model?

    on K band the 940 wins unfortunately the 73 does not have max mode I would love to compare the 73 to a 6XXse as the 73 is great
    thanks. I need a comparison of those two models too...Can't decide whether to ditch the whistler for 940 without more information...

    I have the v995. 98% of the time if gives you enough or just enough time to slow down. It's I/O detection is pretty solid from what I have seen. What part of upstate NY are you from?

    The 693se will beat a pro 73 big time but the v940 may match or beat the 693se. I say get them all and see for yourself.

    The Pro 78 gained 8-10 db's on Ka band more than the Pro 73. The Whistler SE platforms with Ka max mode gained anywhere from 3-5 more db's then the Pro 78. I have driven over 50,000 miles with Whistlers. i have alot of videos.

    These numbers are completely fabricated. A 3dB difference in sensitivity equals approximately twice the sensitivity. Ka Max does not give the Pro-78SE twice(or more) the sensitivity of a Pro 78. Not even close.

    Bought the v940! Got it for 80 bucks, it is in good condition.

    Drove with my friend who has an 8500 x50 to go grab it, a 50 mile trip. We encountered 4 leo on the way home. 2 of the leo were sitting on a local busy road, one shooting k, other shooting ka. Could you get a better testing situation?!! We made 2 passes on each cop with each detector. The v940 performed about the same, if not a bit better than the x50. I have no even played with the settings yet. Anyways, i am quite satisfied with my purchase. Probably will sell the 693se
