Product ReviewsWhistler XTR-265 Radar Detector

Very great radar detector, Get it now, to save money and demerits later on

I bought this product as i had been caught speeding for my first time and wanted to try to reduce the chance of this happening again.

I have 3 of these detectors in my 3 cars and they have worked a charm. It seems to on average give a few seconds notice before a speed camera has your speed, not long, but enough to allow you to hit the brake a little. It picks up a LOT of electrical doors from shops, but so long as you're at the correct speed limit when you hear it, you're safe. I have never been caught speeding since and have never passed a camera and had it not work

There are X, K, KA and laser frequency detection. X is not used in Australia. I wish that K band was a bit louder as that seems to be what the moving police vehicles used. Laser is plenty loud enoughRead full review...

Whistler Pro-78SE High-Performance Radar Detector

Seems to pick up a lot of false alerts. It does however, detect most radar. Don't feel as though its very trustworthy. If one can afford a better unit, it could be money well spent. Not entirely satisfied. Hope this helps someone else.Read full review...

Good detector, not great

Good radar detector for the price. Works great in regards to picking up speed traps. Most cops use the "Ka" band, and it has picked em up. I'd say the only major downside is false alarms.
I've had the "K" band go crazy for quite literally an hour at a time, I found out its caused by other radar detectors in nearby vehicles, it can be aggravating if you're driving behind one for several hours.

Other than that, it does the job it's supposed to, you get what you pay for.Read full review...

not to many false alarms

Once you set up correctly: city- hiyway it work pretty good.

Lots of "Bang for the buck"!.

I've had mine for about 6 weeks. Still no problems. I've met the police in traffic a few times and it has always warned me (Police here got radar on all the time in their cars). For speed camera detecting i would say it's bulletproof. It'll give you a warning way before the camera catches you. So if your right foot is a little bit too heavy while you're behind the wheel, this would be a "Money well spent"-product for you. Definitely something I'd recommend to my friends.Read full review...

Perfect for the buck.

It has a great tone and bright LED display. I find it to be pretty accurate
