Description:
|
The Whistler Pro 78 offers performance exceeding that of any previous Whistler detector! The Pro 78 is Whistler's flagship "Professional Series" model, and contains Whistler's new, re-engineered antenna that offers considerably improved Ka sensitivity and false alert filtering over previous Whistler models.
The Pro 78 also offers all of the features you would expect in a high performance detector. It will detect POP mode radar and provides Whistler's Real Voice™ alerts. The Pro78 provides an intense blue text display with and auto-dim feature, which makes the Pro 78 easy to read both day and night. Designed with the professional driver in mind, the Pro 78 includes a hardwire kit, non-skid dash pad, and three year warranty.
The Whistler Pro 78 also delivers several features that are new to Whistler. These are: "periscope" blue alert LEDs on the top of the unit, a battery voltage meter, and true VG-2 immunity. Other Whistler detectors employ "VG-2 cloaking", in which the detector shuts itself down when it detects the VG-2.

Pros:
|
Fair X band; G K band; EX Ka band; laser untested.
|
|
Cons:
|
Will false to some older model cell phones.

Unbelievably loud audio alerts with very consistent and accurate real time audio-visual ramp-up profiles. X band performance is below average. K band performance is somewhat below average yet results in making the Pro78 an excellent RD for use in suburbs since the K band performance still is quite adequate for detecting LEOs which are using older K band radar guns. Ka band performance is excellent in the sense that the Pro78 in "sneaky" in that it excels at detecting very brief wisps of Ka band radar.
The Pro78 also excels at detecting very brief bursts if instant-on (I/O) radar.
The Pro78 is feature packed and is, in my opinion, one of the best "bangs for the buck" amongst moderately priced radar detectors.
