The Veil Guy stopped by our offices a couple of weeks ago on his way to Atlanta. While he was here, he picked up a few radar detectors to test during his return trip. Among the models he chose were the Whistler Pro 78 and the Whistler XTR-690.
Over the weekend, he posted a very detailed review of these two models. Here's a quote:
In any event, it is my opinion that these new Whistlers represent two of the greatest values in radar detector ownership, today.
If it is your desire to have a full-featured radar detector which provides good protection against police radar, particularly against Ka-band, and are budget minded, you need not look further than either the Whistler Pro-78 or Whistler XTR-690.
Please check out the entire review, it is definitely the most in-depth look at these Whistler models to date.
Whistler pro 78 is an awesome radar detector...it has awesome features...it detects very very good...great from behind. Yea people don't pay so much and get over rated detectors i mean they are good and way better than most but not the pro 78 that i know.
