I'm surprised I even remembered my password!

Anyhoo, I've retired my XTR560 and am now running a Radenso SP (don't need the GPS in Thailand), mainly because of the incessant falsing. Don't drive...

People here obviously discuss radar detectors (pros, cons, features, brand preference etc..) because they want to know the ins and outs of what they'll eventually be getting, and whether on a budget...

Slipping the clutch too often (bold) will only accelerate wear of the clutch plate. :(

If I am not mistaken, once you stall the car (or turn the ignition switch back to the 'accessories' position), you must turn the switch all the way back to the 'off' position before you can re-engage...

Interesting. When I got the XTR560 it was falsing all the time on Ku and I finally turned it off. I would never have thought the mobile phone masts were responsible. I guess it's a small price to pay...

Or maybe it's just me.

On the XTR560, I can adjust the alert volume of all the bands except laser. This will come on at full volume no matter what, and while it may have been the design intent to...

Ah, another fellow Saaber.

I finally got a Whistler XTR560 based on the test data found on the speedzones 2006-7 detector tests. No doubt these tests were conducted under 'ideal' conditions; I...

Interesting, as this does not happen with my XTR560.

I set my backlighting to DIM>BRT so it lights up on alert; this lights up simultaneously with RealVoice before the tone sounds, definitely no...

It's useful as my whistler has three different tone sets; my old detector had different tones as well, so it helps in getting used to the different alerts.

Low-reflectivity paint has been used on USN aircraft almost thirty years ago. Expensive stuff, saw it only in matt grey. I think it was developed by a Japanese company, and this was bought lock,stock...

I, too, am pleased with the additional laser sensitivity over my old passport 4500.

The passport used to pick up the microwave from the ground control radar at the airport, but only approaching...

I bought the XTR 560 for the Ku, but because of the constant falsing I have Ku turned off :( .

Haven't had you kind of luck where it stopped falsing even with unplugging and playing around with...

Hi Pigtail
Yes, I am aware of the laser near Saraburi, it's usually fixed on the pedestrian overpass at the Pachi junction. That's the reason for my upgrade to the XTR 560, even though my venerable...

Hi takk

Nice to see you had a good time, I'm sure you'll be back. The roads to the South of Thailand leave a lot to be desired, this includes the railway the further South you go. Beautiful...

Hi Pigtail

Nice to see I have company.

I typically don't drive fast, and usually go with the flow. Have only been stopped once in the last fifteen years for being 15 kmh over the speed limit;...

1. Agreed. I am a self-confessed, probably certifiable gadget freak :roll: :D .

2. LEO's here don't play cat-and-mouse, they just set up a trap and a roadblock further down the road. I get my...

Yup, I'm still here. A bit slow to reply as I flew down to Singapore for Christmas, and basically have had a computer-free new year.

I've turned off the Ku; on an upcountry trip North of Bangkok...

I just got a XTR 560 Ku-capable RD, and this thing falses ALL the time on Ku. It seems to work pretty good on all the other bands when Ku is disabled.

Now, the question, but first some background....

Hi guys, may I offer a slightly different perspective?

I agree that there are some top-end models offering superior performance, but this comes at a price. Not everyone wants to fork out for a...

You'll eventually get over the rush and just smile gleefully at the usefulness of the thing.

My first experience with one of these was almost twenty years ago, I had an old Escort X/ K band. This...

Whistler XTR 560 also has Ku band detection and scored quite good on the latest speedzones radar detector shootout. It is within your budget, and is value for money.

I have just ordered one to...

Yup, saab turbo NG. 8) soon to be Stage 3... :twisted:
Think I've seen you on the SL and SC forums, though I post more in SL and SSC under a different name. Same country, though :mrgreen:

Jerison

I used to stay in Singapore but am now permanently stationed in Thailand :D . A word about radar detectors in Singapore.

They are banned. Just like the C/Ku band FTA satellite...
