ha!!! i tested a cheap version of whistler against the whistler pro 78 and both detected ka band at the same time

Ok, so what is your point??

I would be worried if my radar is flashing blue lights out of my wind shield. Are flashing red and blue lights illegal on a regular civilian vehicle ?

[radarroy]

The lights will not flash forward, only inside the vehicle to alert the driver

The lights flash forward to blind the laser coming in from the filth.

I have a Pro 78 and it is useless against the Australian KA band multinovas. Detection is less than 50 metres from the front and 0 from the side or rear.

It is actually worse than not having any detector as it lulls you into a false sense of security.

The bought it because of the positive test/coments on the Net.

I would recomment saving you money and buying something that works.

Good review and very helpful. I appreciate the testing you guys did on this.

i have the cheaper version of this dector. the xtr 150. i like the lights on the top when a radar is dected. those lights also double as a rear facing laser detection. its got a diffrent tone for each band. beeps wildly when the band is strong. makes a laser sound when laser is picked up. also makes a sirin sound when ems is near.

9500i is the way to go!!...the GPS abilities and the ability to lock out the false signals is such an awesome feature!!

whistler pro 78 is better than the escorts and valentine...beware of the 9500i!!!
