The Whistler XTR-690SE offers the same high performance of previous Whistler radar detectors and adds Ka MAX MODE for improved range and detection. According to the manufacturer, the XTR-690SE will deliver performance very similar to that of a high performance Bel or Escort model - at less than half the price!!

The XTR-690 SE also provides a unique "Signature ID" feature for Ka band radar (RSID) 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-690SE 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. The XTR-690 SE provides a red text display. A digital compass is also provided.

The Whistler XTR-690 SE also delivers several features that are new to Whistler (other than the Bel/Escort-like performance). These are: a "periscope" alert LED on the top of the unit, opposite the "laser eye", a battery voltage meter, and true VG-2 immunity. Other Whistler detectors employ "VG-2 cloaking", in which the detector shuts itself down when it detects the VG-2.
