The Whistler XTR-690SE 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 XTR-690SE provides a blue back-lit text display, identical to the display on other high end XTR series models. A digital compass is also provided.

The Whistler XTR-690 also delivers several features that are new to Whistler (other than the Bel/Escort-like performance). These are: a "periscope" alert LED on the top of the unit, opposite the "laser eye", 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.

Whistler XTR-690SE review by "veil guy" 2009

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 the greatest 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 XTR-690 quotes and feedback

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

I am very impressed with the overall sensitivity. It allowed me an abundant amount of time to react in a situation. I also like the other little features it comes with! Online product review – December 2007
