Hello TPMJB
I have Whistler 78 SE myself and had the same problem both with the speaker and the false positives. I did send my unit back to Whistler and they repaired the unit at no charge. I...
I had purchased the DFR7 a few months back and was very impressed with how quiet it was. It does not alert at all to the traffic monitoring systems found along I-90 in Ohio, which made for a pesky...
I'd like to take a moment to thank the folks at Whistler for maintaining excellent customer service. I had written a post previously entitled "Everything happens at once with Quality" and explained...
I wasn't sure if I should have started a new post or not with these thoughts, however, since I'll reference a few things from the first note I posted here, I thought this would the proper place to...
Hello Veil Guy,
Thanks for your note and your kind offer to help. I did send in both units to the Whistler Group as I had done a few weeks ago when the mounting problem initially happened on the...
Thanks for your input, Kayrac.
I will have to try the auto mute function on the DFR7 and see if it does the desired "one beep" thing you mentioned in your note. Although getting this function to...
Hello everyone,
I just got my new DFR7 today and thought I would share my first impressions with anyone who might be interested in hearing from a new Uniden user.
Just a bit of...
I own both the Pro 78SE and the Pro 78. Both have served me rather well with a small glitch in the SE a while back. The button that locked the unit on the mount disappeared inside the unit a couple...
Hello everyone,
I've had an issue before with my Whistler RD having the release button disappear into the unit and not latching onto the windshield mount any longer. Mike B was kind enough to...
Akosikojak,
I had two Passports that I bought at the same time, and the both stopped working completely short of 18 months. This was probably 20 years ago or so. They were treated well, and not...
I have just started a new job and am in the process of moving from SC to Miss. Fortunately, the company I'm working with is paying for my full relocation. Unfortunately, someone snatched the XTR...
I was caught once over 20 years ago without an RD.....after that, I said "That will never happen again", bought and RD, and have never gotten another ticket. I'm not a habitual speeder, but have...
I've always heard the customer service was excellent at Whistler. I can only aknowledge what is already well know throughout the RadarDetector.net forums.
I sent my XTR 695 in Monday to have it...
Well, the holidays are over and my annual trek to Mich and back for the holidays has proved to me once again the XTR 695 is worthy to be leading the way when I travel. I was in the mountains of NC...
Hello everyone,
I am probably the atypical user of radar detectors on the forum. I had gotten one ticket 20+ years ago traveling a side street to go pick up milk and a paper on a Sunday...
I've lived in the Carolina's for a few years now, and have a bit of experience with what's done in NC. The enforcement is heavier here than where I'm from originally which is Mich.....Mich has some...
Wow, that was a crazy amount of range....I've never experienced anything like that before! I'm guessing 34.7 is easier to pick up than 35.5? I know terrain makes a difference in how far you can...
Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd post a quick note here to share a couple things that occurred on a trip I took from SC to Mich and back a couple of weeks ago.
First of all, know that X band...
The OPP are smart enough, though, to realize if you hand them a "throw away" detector, and it isn't warm from actually being turned on and used, they will not fall for such a deception and look for...
I have a 695 where this happens, too. I would have a brief Ka alert, and then nothing....then another brief ka alert, then nothing.
During these brief alerts, the frequency was not...
As to why you need to have so many post in order to just READ a certain post? I was informed I could not read one particular post unless I have had 50 post of my own.....good grief...what on earth...
That is an interesting video. What was the source of the alert? I'm wondering now if I have to be a little concerned when traveling. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to an X-band alert due...
I was heading North on I-77 to Charlotte NC when my XtR-695 alert to 35.5. I looked ahead and didn't see any obvious signs of a LEO. I thought maybe there was a LEO on the opposite side of the wall...
Hello everyone,
I had an experience I wonder if anyone else has had. While driving down the expressway, my XTR 695 started to alert X band. This happened at a place where I never get false...
I have both the Pro-78 and the XTR-695....both are mounted in separate vehicles.
What I have found from using each detector is that they give me enough time to adjust my speed if...
