WHISTLER CR73 CR73 Laser/Radar Detector

Chirping a lot with no finding,adjustments has been done in terms of city/highways....Still falls alarms keep hearing

Exactamente lo que buscaba. Totalmente satisfecho

This is the crappiest radar detector I've ever owned and I've owned A LOT. Took a flyer on this Whistler because I've owned some in the past and they functioned well. This is junk and I don't think it's about luck, it's poorly designed. Here's what happens. As an engineer, my guess, I didn't tear it apart cause I'm returning it, but from what it's doing, it has a pretty crappy primary signal processor which grabs the initial signal and declares it 'Ka-Band' for example. So you get a Ka alert (police radar). However, that signal is then sent to a secondary processor or software which further analyzes the signal and discovers it's actually the parking assist radar in a nearby car so it then supersedes the initial Ka-band alert with what it calls an 'F' alert with its own double chirp. So, LOL, no worries, wasn't a cop. Fun huh ? No ! Not when everyone and their brother has cars with those features so the damn thing is going "KA !" then 5 seconds later ... "Psyche ! Just kidding."But it gets worse because at least the prime processor at least thought it saw Ka-band RADAR ... it was wrong ... cause it's cheap crap that should not be used in a radar detector ... but at least it initially discerned it as police radar ... thus you get the ALERT until further processing confirms it's a false alarm. However, this poorly designed piece of stupid junk, will actually alert you with a simple 'F' alert ... FROM THE PRIMARY PROCESSOR ... !! Why ??? Why or dear god why do you alert me to something you already know isn't police RADAR ? Do you think I bought a Car Next to Me has a Parking Assist RADAR Detector ?? It's crap like this which just makes me shake my head. Whoever designed this crap was either high or completely clueless on the actual requirement. My guess is it's one of those things where the design requirements were lost in translation to the build team in China who's engineers don't own cars themselves.Lastly, this is weird but it might be emitting a Ka-band signal ... its own radar signal on the Ka spectrum. This would be illegal because by transmitting on the same freq as cop RADAR it would in effect function as a RADAR jammer.I'll leave it to someone else to verify but when my CR73 came on in my driveway, two neighbor's RADAR detectors alerted Ka-band. Not sure what detectors they using other than simply commercial stuff so can't comment on the quality of their discreet signal processing.A RADAR Detector should remain silent until it detects an actual police RADAR. Period. End of story. I've now purchased a Cobra RAD 380 which was only $20 more and it's night and day different. Silence ! When it goes off, pay attention, popo is nigh !

This radar detector is very accurate. It will let you know well in advance of radar. You can customize it the way you want it to detect. Would buy again. The price is very good compared to other detectors that do the same thing. It has advanced technology in detecting all types of radar.

WE HAVE VIRTONIC LASER BASED SPEED CAMERAS HERE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA VERY HARD TO DETECT I HAVE 2000 $ LASER INTERCEPTOR EG FOUR HEAD ARRANGEMENT ON FRONT OF VEHICLE AND IT ONLY ALERTED SAY COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE THIS UNIT. YES THERE ARE BETTER DETECTORS OUT THERE ON K BAND AND KA BUT WHEN COMES TO BUDGET DETECTOR LASER THE CR VERSION OF WHISTLER ARE UNBEATABLE,NEARLY AS GOOD AS MY VALENTINE ONE VERSION 1.893..... I BOUGHT CR 73 WITH NEWER DOME SHAPE LASER FRONT END HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VERY RESPECTABLE K BAND PERFORMANCE SAY COMPARED TO THE PRO 78 SERIES BEST BANG FOR YA BUCK UNDER 100 US DOLLARS.
