Whistler Pro 78 Radar Detector
is the whistler pro78 that much better then the whistler xtr 690?
i don’t need all the fancy features im just looking for a reasonably inexpensive radar detector but i set my mind on the xtr 575 but then was talked into the 690 for a few bucks more. now im hearing from reviews that the pro 78 is SO much better. is that all hype?
“Hi”…..for some reason I think your question was inadvertantly posted in the wrong area as I see that you want a “whistler” product as concerns radar detectors !
This section is about Canada and namely the Vancouver area of which “Whistler B.C” forms a part and incidentally will be the site of the winter Olympics in 2010.
I’d suggest you re-ask the question in automotive or electronics so that you can get some decent answers !
Hope that helps ya and just trying to get you pointed in the right direction ! *S* (Michael C…)!

Escort 8500 Radar Detectors
What do the symbols or letters for radar detectors mean?
I have an old Escort Passport, and want to get the Escort 8500 x50. Can someone give me a list of what all the letters stand for? like K band, Ka band, X band and stuff like that.
They refer to the ranges of frequencies designated by the FCC for police radar applications.
X-band is the oldest, and covers a range from 7 to 12 GHz. Most police radars no longer use X-band, as it was superceded by the more common K and Ka bands.
K-band is from 20 to 40 GHz, and Ka covers a slightly wider range, from 18 to 40 GHz.
The detector provides this info to help you root out false alarms, for example, if you get an warning everytime you go down a certain street, and it’s the older X-band, it’s probably from the automatic door from the old supermarket across the street. Conversely, if you get X- and Ka-band warnings at the same spot one day, it’s possible some smart cop is hiding there and using the automatic door for cover, hoping an unaware driver is thinking his detector is giving him a false alarm. Some police use lidar, which actually uses pulses of laser light instead of radar, and newer detectors can pick this up, as well.
