Got a new whistler...

**TRun** · 12-31-2010 08:51 PM

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.

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:

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
