Mixed Feelings August 14, 2008
I have owned this product for about 3 months now and I still can't figure out if I like it or not. I haven't gotten an idea of how far out it will detect a radar/laser beam but I have noticed while rounding turns on the freeway it will pick up a beam before fully rounding it and seeing the cop. I had a ton of false alarms with POP turned on and lately I've been getting laser false alarms. I should have some time soon to contact Whistler about this and will update then. But other than that it has saved me on a few occasions, the LED "periscope" is a nice feature, as well as the talking feature. I have subs (500w Fosgate stage 2) in my trunk and I can still hear the detector over too. Overall I would recommend it to anyone.

Defective windshield lock August 14, 2008
The detector works great with adequate range and it looks well made. I gave it 3 stars due to the locking mechanism for the windshield mount on the detector breaking after having it for 32 days. Amazon can't take it back and Whistler will not warranty it saying it was not bought from an authorized dealer. The will fix it but for cost plus shipping. Customer service has gone to hell in a handbasket in America. Buying online is getting less and less popular for me. Spend the extra money and get it locally if possible or at least from an authorized dealer. The dash pad does work ok but I would prefer to mount it high on the windshield.

Cheep radar....you get what you pay for it!!
I was waiting in traffic and I passed by a state trouper and he was pointing the leaser gun on the incoming traffic and my radar didn't even blinked:-(
I sent my whistler pro 78 back the following day.....what a waste!!!!!

Best bang for your buck July 11, 2008
Yes escort and valentine detectors are the best. But they are $300 and up. For those not willing to spend so much on a radar detector this is the best bang for your buck. High sensitivity.. lots of features. Spanks any cobra detector out there.

Noise Maker.... July 6, 2008
I have this detector and a less expensive Cobra; the later seems to be much more accurate... I get a tremendous amount of false alerts, typically laser or the Pop mode...
On the other hand, when there is actually a cop it has incredible range! On a few occasions the detector has picked up signals that have given me more than adequate distance to slow down.
The other thing is that the detector is pretty loud (the volume does not turn down to low) and it's on the big side.
Hope this helps...
