If you notice even the "Top Tier" RD's were at 9 miles on the SML Long Range Test, always take data from the SML tests with a grain of salt.

Not really interested much in the GPS/GPS features but if performance is improved that'd be nice. Can you tell us anything regarding the MSRP of the unit or is that still being discussed? Just...

I don't think the screen on that thing will alert LEOs behind you that you're running a radar detector and to play/hit you with I/O, no sir not at all, especially at night.
Longest pickup I had was around 10 miles ON THE HIGHWAY not talking about those on the "super bowl" channel using 1000's of watts, and mind you the 10 mile pickup was with a special made custom cobra...
Mandingo just please STFU until djrams does his testing. Seeing you trying to upsell the Cobra to DJ was pretty funny I gotta admit though, "It has Aura! It's super awesome and will alert you to...
Manufacturing variances sometimes cause even a brand new detector to come out "broken" and needing to be sent it for a fix. Sure it's a PITA but it happens with any mass produced electronic products....
EDIT: djrams beat me to it.
POP mode off will mean it won't false as much to other "noisey" sources such as other leaky radar detectors, as with POP mode on the detector is constantly...
I've had no problems with my Pro-78SE giving me warnings for a good while before even getting to the LEO, even in I/O instances. By good while I mean I've gone 2-3 minutes from first alert before...
Unless you live somewhere where it is illegal to own a radar detector you have no need to worry about Spectre. Besides by time you detect the Spectre, chances are you've already been picked up so...
Like stated above there are no new laws banning radar detectors in North Carolina. The only places I know of in the US is the District of Columbia (Washington DC) and Virginia. Perhaps it happened in...
A lot of you newer guys should have been around here about 3-4 years ago when the Whistlers were getting bashed on pretty bad (compared to the new ones yes the older ones "slacked" in performance,...
X2. What's new and improved and all? Not much information is given in this "advert" and I don't see any info on the website :( .
*facepalm* how many times do I have to say this Mandingo? IF IT WORKS FOR YOU, IT WORKS FOR YOU AND THAT'S GREAT! Yes the whistler has the X/K confusion which has been part of the "design" now for...
Wow you found one of my OLD videos that showed my old Pro-73 (which btw is outdated by now and the video was posted in 2008) picking up a leaky cobra, confirmed by me seeing the COBRA RD in the...
Except I've witnessed it alerting to itself with nothing else around to set it off several times. As for "letting her use it" that's her choice, I've offered to get her a Pro series whistler or...
? I thought I was being very polite in my post. The simple fact that I mentioned cobras is because those are the only ones I've PERSONALLY run into that false along with only 1 or 2 OLD (as in 6-7...
Yup digital is becoming the standard for now and it's a lot better quality vs analog. A couple years ago where I use to live in Louisiana when they went on to their new LWIN system all the local PD...
Dude what's your problem? You're bashing anyone who says anything "bad" about Cobra's. Do you work for them? All I said was there was a chance it was picking up a leaky cobra and yes they do leak,...
Ummm no. All cars that have Lane Assist/Blind Spot Detection run on K band and NOT on KA band. If your cobra is falsing on KA then it's either picking itself up or another leaky cobra. That's the...
There's several threads on various different detectors that have laser alerts being caused by various things (window motors, side mirror motors like yours etc.) and it's an electrical feed back...
My Pro-78SE is hard wired to a fuse that's on/off with ignition and it remembers it was on when I turn the car back on and comes back on just fine. Haven't ever had it "reset" to off and never come...
Thanks, that's what I thought. I have mine peeking out right below the tint strip. I've actually moved it to be in front of my sun visor so it's almost invisible from the rear, especially at night,...
I know I've always ran my Whistler mounted high up near my RVM, but I began to wonder today based on the the type of horn inside the Pro78SE is it actually better to mount LOW or to keep it high? I...
To raise this thread from the dead, was trying to see if any new patents were out for Whistler, and found one that is quite interesting at least in part:
And
Makes me wonder even more...
