The Whistler Pro-78 is, as far as I am aware, the first Whistler radar detector platform to post very consistent performance on all three Ka bands. Yet its average Ka performance is somewhat behind the average Ka performance of the Bel Vector series. Yet I do have a hankering to try out the Pro-78 with the new firmware version. In January I plan to order one direct, which has been tweaked by Michael Batten himself, and compare it to my S7 V995. I don't expect it to have quite the same raw range, but (from what I saw in the August GOL tests) I do expect it to do extremely well in over-the-hill and around-the-curve radar encounters.
Anyway, its time for a new toy and the Pro-78 is going to be it.
