The Guys of Lidar, a group of radar detector enthusiasts, has posted the results of their March 2007 radar detector and laser jammer test.

With Whistler’s new 2007 models, they are introducing a new feature called the “Dual LED Alert Periscope”. The new models have two blue LED’s positioned on top, near the rear of the detector.

Today, I had the opportunity to speak to each of the major radar detector manufacturers about the new models that they will be releasing this year. Cobra has two new radar detectors that will be available around May of this year: the XRS R9G and […]

Thanks to everyone who inquired today about pre-ordering the Whistler XTR-690. Unfortunately, there are still a few pricing issues that need to be worked through, so we’ve decided to wait until after CES (Jan. 8-11) to offer pre-ordering through the web site.

The best news is that this new model will […]
