Hi everyone,
I have a Whistler Pro 78 that I bought new back in 2007 or 2008. I haven't used it much over the past year or so, but I recently took it out of storage and am about to start using it...

Hi everyone, been a while since I've posted on here.
My Pro 78 has been sitting on my desk for the last few weeks, really the only driving I have been doing is just short distances around town where...

Yeah you're right, I don't know why I didn't think about that yesterday when I wrote that message. One of the things I learned from the Valentine 1 web site is "radar can't get you from the side"....

Cool, good to know!
Wish they would implement SWS more nationwide, based on all the messages it's capable of showing, it could be really useful.

I guess the cost of the transmitters, and the fact...

This isn't a long range save, but something interesting I thought worth mentioning...
I was in traffic (an S10 pickup had rear ended a school bus, traffic was way backed up), behind a big postal...

I've seen K band around here only on school campus, some of the cop cars have dash mount units, but most of them like to use handheld radar guns.

Hahahah:lol:

Welcome, Steve!
Like you, I use my RD for "situational awareness". I don't intentionally speed, but sometimes I can drift above the PSL and the RD reminds me to keep it under control.
I've heard of...

That's correct, I believe Mike B said that in order for the unit to alert "Pulse", POP must be turned on and the unit must have been quiet (no alerts) for 10 (?) or so seconds before.

Great save. I always wonder if people think twice about passing someone with an RD on the window. I would never do it (unless of course they were using a Crapra).

I had a KA alert yesterday when I pulled into a parking lot at Home Depot, there very well might have been a cop on an adjacent street, but when I parked I noticed that 2 cars had radar detectors,...

Haha, you're right about that last bit. I've learned a lot about it from reading this forum, and other sites on the net, but like you said there are so many variables that come into play when trying...

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think of that.
You know I didn't really look, but I know there have been big trucks and trailers parked there in the past and might have been there today to cause it.

Hi,
I was driving home today in the 100 degree heat when I came across a known K band false spot (along a shopping center). Usually, I get a weak alert, around 1-3 in strength, then it just dies as...

Thanks for explaining that Mike, I learned something new today!

I don't know if that's all he does, but I think I remember seeing from someone on here who did a take apart (maybe Mem-Tek?) that there is indeed a new LO board for Rev C.
Yea, and like you all...

I read Veil guy's review, and in it "The engineers inform me they have made further improvements to K and Ka."
Sounds promising :D

That's an excellent review, it sounds like an amazing detector for the price!
Like other users, I hope that come two more weeks, the XTR-695 will be shipping out from the factory!

I always love when people see my Pro 78 and say "Man I heard radar detectors don't work." My response is "take a ride with me through Germantown and you will change your mind."
And, nearly 100% of...

Jag, judging from your videos you've got the best mount in your Civic above the RVM.
The dash pad is convenient when you drive multiple cars, but you just have to make sure the windshield wipers...

Same here!!

Unfortunately, I don't have a cool video to post like Jag usually does, but today I had my first "long distance" constant on save in a while (local cops prefer I/O).

I was on a little highway, not...

Yeah, whenever I see a laser alert I always look around for a newer Avalon or Camry, although I know some of the Nissans/Infinitis have the same system.
My question to the makers of these cars: why...

Hi everyone,
Tonight I was out for a drive, and encountered my first rear laser alert.
I was in the right lane, and there was a Toyota Avalon behind me, but in the left lane. All of a sudden I get...

I think I remember reading somewhere that it only displays "pulse" after being quiet for 10 or so seconds.
So if you're driving and the detector catches pieces of radar off the people in front of...
