I first took serious notice of Whistler several years ago when I
witnessed one of their earlier models outperform a certain
blue-tooth enabled remote radar detector that, at the time, retailed
for more than 10 times Whistler's price.
Since then, I have had the pleasure of owning (and reviewing)
newer and improved Whistler radar detectors including the Whistler
Pro 78/Whistler XTR-690 (both introduced two years ago) and the
Whistler XTR-695 (introduced nearly a year ago). Whistler has
continued with its recent tradition of affording me the privilege of
an advanced look at their new (and much anticipated) flagship
production models that are currently making their way to retailers
and specialized Internet dealers. For 2009, three related Whistler
radar detector models are especially noteworthy, the Whistler Pro-78
SE, the Whistler XTR-690 SE, and the Whistler XTR-695 SE
As the new model names suggest, each of these new radar detectors
appear to represent an evolutionary design improvement over its
previous model and hence have not merited an entirely new model
number designation. Instead, these new Whistlers end with an SE
designation, which may stand for Special Edition. That is, of
course, not to say that these new radar detectors don't represent
significant improvement (over their predecessors) simply because the
underlying model numbers haven't changed, they do ...
Conclusion
What Whistler has accomplished in its reception to Ka radar is
nothing short of remarkable ...
With the introduction of these three new detectors, Whistler has
fortified their position as the provider of thegreatest values in
radar detector ownership.
I am going to continue keeping my eye on Whistler; they are
definitely on the ball and on the move!

Whistler PRO-78 quotes and feedback
"Particularly with Ka from the front, when compared to one of the
Beltronics STi Drivers, when POP was OFF, the Whistler Pro-78 tended
to be the first to respond" Veil Guy review.
"The Pro 78 has an even wider array of user-selectable features...
The Filter settings are particularly useful in reducing false alarms
although even without them, the Whistler is quieter than the
competition (less false alerts" Craig Peterson of Radar Tests, March
2008 review.
"More importantly, the Whistler Pro 78 equalled the V1's range on
both X and Ka band, an achievement of some significance for a
detector with a price one third as much." Craig Peterson of Radar
Tests, March 2008 review.
"After crunching the numbers it's clear that the Pro 78 can handily
dispatch its competition from Cobra and is easily the
best-performing Whistler I've tested. Its stellar showing compared
to the... Valentine One is a testament to the fact that for the
first time, a value-priced model can just about run with the big
dogs." Craig Peterson of Radar Tests, March 2008 review.
"I have driven nearly a half of million miles — in my 27 plus years
of driving ¬ many of those miles while in possession of one radar
detector or another. Not until now, have I encountered a radar
detector so chock-full-of-features and as capable at either of the
Whistler Pro-78 or Whistler XTR-690 for so little money." Veil Guy
review.
It is my opinion that these new Whistler radar detectors represent
two of the greatest values in radar detector ownership, today.
VeilGuy – August 2007
In a nutshell, the levels of performance that the Whistler Pro 78
and Whistler XTR-690 achieve, in some cases, are simply astounding
considering that my comparison radar detector was a Beltronics STi
Driver. VeilGuy – August 2007
I must give Kudos to the engineers at Whistler for certainly raising
the bar… Radar Roy – June 2007
“the Ka sensitivity (with POP mode detection OFF) was now similar to
that of the Bel STi Driver, and even outperformed the STi in some
cases." VeilGuy – July 2007
A recent independent test substantiates our results seen here in
Australia. Some suppliers continue to show out of date and widely
inaccurate results using misleading scales to zoom to a small
section of results. Below are tests from a recent US based test.
