WHISTLER DE1734C All Band Radar/laser Detector with Alert Priority

This isn't the newest or fanciest Radar/Laser detector, but reviews give it good rating for range, including over hills and around curves. I used this Whistler for 5 years on a weekly commute to a consulting job of about 400 miles, with about 40% of that on rural state highways with nice 12' lanes built before the Interstate era.
In five years, the Whistler never failed to give me warning enough to always be fewer than the 10 MPH "grace" speed local law-enforcement must grant if you're over the limit in this state. And though the brochure warns that laser will register your speed in 1.3 seconds, the Whistler's raucus laser alert will have your foot on the brake even faster than that. I especially like the "City2" setting, which disables old-fashioned X-band radar detection, now used mostly for average-speed computation on big city interstates, rather than by police, which will drive you to distraction every couple of minutes if you can't disable it.

ACTS 2:38 Happy with the unit, although volume control does not work, it's still work well. Thanks! The price was descent.

I got this radar detector out of an advice from my girlfriend and at first i was kind of dissapointed because i didn't do anything the first couple of days i install it but soon after i was on the road, it beeped when a radar was nearby and in enough time to slow down and avoid a ticket, until now it has saved me a couple of those pesky speeding tickets!, but i must warn you if your consider buying a this particular (or any) radar detector, first, you must be aware of the speeding limit, second, get to know your radar detector and third, don't go over the limit very much because it doesn't have very long range. Anyhow, i recommend it for the frequent road traveler, this machine it pays for it self!. (Note: Radar detectors are ilegal in WA).
