Here is what people are saying about the Whistler PRO-78 SE Radar Detector (Blue Display)
5 Star Rating  "Whistler Pro-78SE"2009-11-16
- Reviewed By User: A3GJ8UN6PS2QBL
I replaced my older Whistler with this one and the new one works a lot better. More sensitive and fewer false alerts. You still have to keep an eye out for the instant on radar and use a rabbit ahead of you. It took forever to get the Whistler in, I guess the vendor sent it "Pony Express". Other than that, the Whistler works excellent and is one of the best Radar Detectors under $200.00.
 
1 Star Rating  "Pass on this one--you can get better in this price range"2009-11-08
- Reviewed By User: A2LLNBL1F9YQY
I bought into the hype and some early favorable 'professional' reviews on this product (and am now convinced the website that posted it was probably paid by Whistler to hype up the release) and purchased it back in late June. I could have easily gotten a similar quality product for much less...or better yet, spent more and got a better, more reliable unit. Convinced that it wasn't working as advertised, I purchased a V1, the 'King' of radar detectors, and compared them in my car side by side. First off, the 78SE gives TONS of false alarms. Often it would go off when the v1 wasn't making a peep. Sometimes, it would go crazy when I was out in the middle of a road surrounded by corn fields! Is this because it is more sensitive? I think not. I had tested them on some speed signs set up in my area, and the V1 would go off a 1/4 mile or more before the Whistler made a detection. A 1/4 mile in the world of radar is an eternity--the difference between getting a ticket and not. By the time the 78SE starting making weak little burps warning you to start being on the lookout, the V1 was already going off at full blast. The v1 would also detect the speed radar when it was up and over a hill--presumably from the minute signature bouncing off different objects alongside the road. Again, not a peep was heard from the 78SE.

I am not saying I expect the 78SE to be as good as a $400 V1. I do, however, expect the performance to be enough to serve its purpose, which is warning you of radar before the cop has your speed. This detector simply won't do that, which makes owning it more or less pointless IMO. The numerous false alerts make you on guard when you don't need to be, and eventually you will simply ignore all the warnings--even the legitimate ones. When the real threats arise, it is doubtful you will know before the cop has your speed--MAYBE it will provide a small benefit in the most optimal conditions (a flat road going perfectly straight)...but how often is that the case? Save your hard earned $$ for a detector that will work...or if your dead set on spending less than $200, do more research and see if you can find something better or at least cheaper!
 
3 Star Rating  "Very touchy detector"2009-10-14
- Reviewed By User: A2T3HR3W55KM32
I had an older Whistler brand detector for a couple years, very similar to this one. The voice alerts are identical even, so it was a smooth transition. The menus are about the same, only with extra options. The casing on this unit is nice, looks great with no shiny "chrome" on the top to blind you with the sun. The blue text LED display is pretty sweet, top notch. Very handy that it comes with extra wire to just connect up to the fuse box. The mount is nice too, good suction cups, they have yet to fall off.

The only issue I really have with it is that it is overly sensitive. I don't mean a little bit, but a lot. I have everything turned down as far as it will go. As in, city 2, filter 2, etc. Which helps some, but this thing will drive you crazy if you don't dial it in right away. Pretty much just went off 85% of the time, sometimes other cars would set it off. Or large box type trucks going by would trigger an alert. After getting most of the pulse and pop and Ka extra turned off (you know, all the selling points) it does a pretty decent job. It does pick up radar, it's just unfortunate that it picks up so many other things too. So much so that it makes me sort of ignore it, so when it really does go off, I am slow to react.

I tried to give it time, see if I could just get used to it, but honestly if I were not over my 30 days I would just exchange it for another model.

I bought this unit to replace an older Uniden detector. This thing is much more sensitive than my old detector, yet seems to provide very few false returns. So far it has given me 100% early warning from radars in LA and MS. The flashing blue lights on the periscope display do a good job of getting your attention when you have the sounds cranked up! This is by far the best radar detector I have owned!

To many times...the product doesn't live up to the advertising...this one does. My truck don't like to operate with-in the set speed limits, and this detector saves me a lot of problems...I like it and want to recomend it to anyone that gets in a hurry once in a while...or stays in a hurry!

I bought this 2 months ago, works great. Dependable range, strong alert, good options. Have recommended it to friends. A good unit in the middle price range. Thanks.
