    Default XTR-695 or 695SE

    Whats the difference. I need something a bit better in performance than my V940 (esp Q/T - I/O ) But just dont have the funds for a V1 or Redline. I am interested in the Whistler 695. But what is the difference between the 695 and 695SE?

    The SE series has better performance, especially against Ka band.

    Go with the SE..The display is better on the Pro 78 and 690SE. The 695 and 695SE's LCD screen is horrible will wash out from the sun unless its mounted in the shade above RVM.

    Well my answer is always, you do have the funds. How much do you spend on CRAP, cokes, cigs, whatever. In two months you can have a real RD. If you can't afford that, you can't afford to speed. One ticket will pay for a top of the line RD.

    That completely didn't answer or address the OP's question. The SE series is a fine mid-priced detector and many people have very good results with it.

    The 690se has a red screen but the 695se has an external audio jack. Preformance wise they should be identical.

    I think it does answer that question. I need something better was the question. I answer as I will always. SAVE YOUR MONEY TILL YOU AFFORD TOP THE LINE OR SLOW DOWN. If you don't agree that is up to up you. This is not a cheap hobby and losing sucks and cost. Up to each person to what you are williing to pay. I want a RD for 60 dollars, what do you tell them?

    I'm sure the SE model is grand, but I never have band confusion (ie X band turned off and showing up as K band) on my regular 695, I've also heard of more Ka falses with the Ka Max, but also longer Ka range. It's only like a $30-40 difference, so it's up to you. The 695 and 695 SE displays are a bummer during the day if you don't mount them high. Mine was mounted high, and I could see it good enough during the day. At night it was epic, impossible to miss an alert. I set mine up with the darker blue for regular display, red for K band (my main threat), green for Ka band, and scrolling all colors for Laser. The rest of most of my settings are in my sig. Yeah, you could save up and getting a better RD, but for the price, the XTR 695 is epic, and unless you are going waaaay over, it will give you enough protection.
