Pretty good for $99....
(4 out of 5) by Robert Montana on Jan 30, 2007This radar is fine for a $99 price. My only complaint is that it does go off alot becuase of other peoples radar, more so than I had expected. Its probably already saved me a couple tickets though so its paid for itself. Like I said, for $99 its a good deal....
Update, 1/13/08...Ihave used this radar detector quite a bit now...seems to work well..goes off well in advance of a cops radar...of course the laser works to but its too late once you get hit with that...it does go off if someone else has radar detector.cant remember if y last one did this often or not...like I originally said, for $99 it is a solid performer..
AS for the review below me from "Jerry"...WTF, is he paid by Amazon or Whistler??? Imean how generic and five stars.....

Loud, annoying long range
(3 out of 5) by MO-LINDA on Mar 13, 2008 (Portland, OR)This radar detector is huge. It is very loud too. It has good range on radar detection. However, it doesn't matter what radar detector you have, if a cop points a laser at you are toast, because it is a laser, not radar, meaning that it will only detect the laser when it is being pointed directly at you. I bought this detector for my gadget lovin' fiancee. I have a whistler that is a couple years old that works just fine. It has saved me from a few tickets. I would probably buy my old one, over this one any day. Also, the packaging it came in, had been opened before and taped back shut. So, I am thinking someone thought the same thing and returned it!
