Got a new whistler...

[TRun]

I just found a whistler 680 radar detector. Now I wonder if anyone has any info about this unit? Like say a manual... All I seen on the website is it gets only Ka 34.3 and no laser.

Wow ....Take it to the Antique road show

lol by the scuffs on the top of the case I think it was last used as a doorstop. It does turn on and beep and seems to work.

Thread title should of been:

'Got an old useless Whistler'

Hang on to it, might be worth something as an antique some day . LOL

Didn't see a manual, but found a little bit of info:

The link says you can trade it in for a newer Whistler.

I have a few in my history box. They sold well in their day.

Unit appears to have suffered some water intrusion but still able detect radar sources. I opened it up to dry off the case and noticed no water on the circuit board. The real test will be when I put it up against a speed sign. Expect some lulz
