Been running with POP on and Filter mode.

After a while with running Filter 2 and POP off, I thought I would give POP and Filter a shot.

I did have a few Cobra falses, but they were all POP, so I knew what was up. I had 3 experiences getting constant on before my POP off Filter 2 ever did! I would get a short blip of radar around 25 meters before a normal alert (Happened on Ka stationary and a K band speed sign twice)


I must say, I am very impressed with performance, and honestly thought the detector held its own better besides false alerts...

I think i is all in the Filter mode.... I am going to try again just filter POP off to see if I can get even better range!

Ya I am currently running Filter and POP OFF for a while and I get pretty good range. When I turned POP ON for one short trip I got two Ka 9 blasts with nothing in sight and a K 7 blast. But that was city diving and not highway or expressway driving

I really think Filter mode works wonders for sensativity...

Yeah, POP ON will make you very prone to Cobra falsing, so I typically keep it off on my Whistlers.

FILTER mode accepts shorter signals than FILTER 2 mode, which is good for when you are approaching a choppy signal (environmental obstructions, around-the-curve attack) where even a half-second delay introduced by the filter is precious time lost.

Ya, leave it on FILTER mode when ever possible. You can still detect POP with POP off/FILTER, there is just a lower chance. Only use FILTER 1/2 if u need to because of falseing.

Yep. Im going to leave it on filter from now on.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to mention, only Whistler gives the user three selectable levels of filtering aggressiveness -- other detector makers choose a default that is good for some but not for others! Kudos to Whistler for giving users this level of flexibility.

For my Pro78 evaluation leading up to my Pro78 review, I ran POP off and Filter mode since POP isn't used in my area.

So which filter mode should I run with POP off for maximum range?

POP off, Filter, SWS Off
