Ooh, shiny! And with flashy lights, too!

1992 Called, they wanted their radar detector back.

"HE’S A DEMON ON WHEELS" - That's what she said!

not sure how this model performs.. but I wouldn't drive without a radar detector, I have an escort detector & it has saved my butt on many occasions. In fact I haven't even gotten a speeding ticket since I got it about 4 years ago.. and I used to get them quite regularly.

VROOM VROOM

I want a monkey!!!! Where is my monkey???

dear woot,

a v1 would be far superior... maybe next time?

Depends on what state you're in... I believe it's only illegal in a few states (West Virginia being one if I remember correctly).

hug me you meerkat

dang it woot, i needed a new radar detector cause the screen went out on mine, but you drop this almost obsolete detector i'm a sad panda

Will this pickup the speed cameras Phoenix is infested with?

FAR superior. And probably no less than 10x the price, even as a refurb!!

They're legal in most states.
Using one of these and hearing it go off will slow you down - which is what the cops want you to do!


Last Whistler I had was a really good one. It would trigger other detectors. Driving on the interstate was fun whenever some hot shot with a cheapo detector would try and pass me. His alarm would go off and he'd drop back. Had one guy do it 5 or 6 times before he realized where the alarm was coming from and finally passed me.
Funny!

i would think it would specify if it had it

I too fell asleep and missed the Book of Chants.

The use of a radar detector in a passenger vehicle is legal in all states with the exception of Virginia, Washington DC. and on military bases.

Radar detectors are illegal in all commercial vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds

In Canada, the only three provinces that allow their use are Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

Many overseas countries also ban their use, such as Portugal, Finland and Spain.

In areas that radar detectors are illegal, law enforcement use a device called the Spectre that is able to detect the use of radar detector in your car or truck.

Laser Jammers and Radar Jammers are illegal in the states of Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois and Washington DC.

hmmm, Which ones are you talking about valley has all types camera systems.

Radar Detectors are illegal in Virginia and Washington D.C. and while on military bases. Radar Jammers are illegal in more states.

If they put up a Valentine 1 for even 299, I'd be all over that like wooters on a Bowl of Cereal.

Whistler makes decent detectors but this one has never been tested by Guys of Lidar.

I initially thought that but then I thought, when was the last time I had goulash? And then I thought maybe the laser or radar the cameras use was one of the items it picks up. Any ideas?

This products description = WIN!

What about palantirs?

icegryphon wrote:hmmm, Which ones are you talking about valley has all types camera systems.

Only the speed ones, I generally don't run red lights, so that type isn't on my 'radar'.

$40 at Costco after rebate I think

NightGhost wrote:What about palantirs?

Not illegal but very dangerous!!!

What the hell are you trying to say here?!?

This has more features than my Valentine V1, it has a compass!!

I love my Valentine 1, it's not just a radar detector, it's a religion.

I'll buy 3 of these then & trade you straight up...

well if its one of those speed vans or anything like that that catches you on cam going at a fast speed, tend to set off a ka signal here in illinois

they sold this on may 2nd on sellout for the same price

Whistler's HIGH END model, the XTR-695, is a piece of junk from experience. Trust me, this is not worth it.
