The Whistler XTR-695 radar detector is the latest model from Whistler to take advantage of their new re-engineered platform that provides superior detection ability at an affordable price. The XTR-695 offers several new, unique features. The background color of the bright text display can be changed to your choice of seven colors. You can even assign a color to an alert band, allowing for a different color for each type of alert! The XTR-695 also provides a unique "Signature ID" feature for Ka band radar and laser. This feature provides more detailed information about the alert you are receiving, and for laser allows you to lock out false alerts based on the pulse rate!
The XTR-695 also offers all of the features you would expect in a high performance detector. It will detect POP mode radar and provides Whistler's Real Voice™ alerts. A digital compass is also provided. The Whistler XTR-695 also features Whistler's unique "periscope" alert LEDs on the top of the unit, a battery voltage meter, and true VG-2 immunity.

:: Selectable Seven Color Text Display
 The Whistler XTR695 supports seven display colors, allowing anyone to find a color that goes well with their vehicle interior. Even more importantly, the XTR695 is also the first detector to offer color coded alerts. This means that you can have the display change to a certain color based on the type of alert! Not too concerned about X band alerts? Have the display turn green when you receive one. At a glance you'll know not to panic. Every second counts with a laser alert. Have the display turn red and you'll know to react immediately! The colors supported are: red, purple, light, medium, and dark blue, and light and dark green. | |

:: More About Radar and Laser Signature ID
The Radar/Laser Signature ID feature gives a driver additional information to help determine if a threat is real or false.
As you become accustomed to driving in a certain area with a detector, you tend to learn where false alerts will occur and what band(s) of radar police in your area typically use. Normal radar band identification (X, K, Ka) is very useful, as it helps a driver determine if the alert is a real threat or a false alarm. The X and K radar bands are relatively small, and there is little fluctuation in the frequencies that a detector will pick up in these bands. Ka, however, is a monster. There are three common frequencies used by Ka radar guns in the United States, but there are also three other less common Ka frequencies that are used and cannot be ignored by a detector. When the Whistler XTR-695 receives a Ka alert, the Signature ID feature allows the detector to display the frequency of the Ka radar gun closest to the detected frequency. This effectively breaks the Ka band down into smaller segments, which can be much more useful when determining the validity of a threat.
The laser Signature ID feature works a little differently. During a laser alert, the XTR-695 will display the pulse rate (PPS) of the laser being detected. The Whistler XTR-695 even allows drivers to lock out individual PPS rates, preventing future alerts for that PPS. This feature is the answer to the prayers of many drivers who suffer through daily laser falses because their route takes them by an airport or other laser source. | |
