 |  Whistler Pro-78 Radar Detector Saves Me Again So I was headed from work over to corporate Tuesday, moving west along a 6-lane (3 each side) road. Just about to crest the peak of a bridge when I got a Ka-blip. Naturally, the brakes went on even though I was only 8-9 over the PSL. Then the blip went away. It came again JUST as I saw the LEO. He was just on the other side of the bridge (behind a hill), sitting in the center median, shooting instant-on Ka. He was facing west, but I couldn't tell if he was clocking oncoming eastbound traffic or shooting those of us headed west in the butt. Either way, I was cruise controlled at the PSL when he was able to get a speed on me. The alert distance? Between .2 and .3 miles. But considering it was over a hill, facing away from me, AND Ka/I-O, that's a DAMN good save. Because of the lanes of traffic between me and the LEO, I never would have seen him had I not been looking, and they HAVE been busting people for minor violations here. Friend of mine got a ticket for 7 over the other day. So chalk up another save for Mike B's technology. Now I have to box it up and send it to him for updates. I will be completely unprotected for a week or two. AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

| Re: Pro-78 Saves Me Again I currently have an early version of Rev C that Mike loaded for me before they released the current version, so I am sending it for the full Rev C version.

| Re: Whistler Pro-78 Radar Detector Saves Me Again Well, right NOW it's in a box with the USPS on its way to Mr. Batten at Whistler. He has the rest of Rev. C for me and some anti-laser-falsing stuff to try out. Weee! Looking for a backup tomorrow afternoon at pawn shops around here. A buddy of mine picked up an X50 for $50 about 6 months back.

| Re: Whistler Pro-78 Radar Detector Saves Me Again ^Reason why I hate Ebay. I'm recommending this product to a friend who needs a Mid-Range Radar Detector and thought Pro-78 would be a good product for her. Last edited by Anonymous; 06-08-2008 at 11:53 PM. | ||||||||
