Pros and cons of Western radar detectors.

Let's discuss today the main drawbacks of Whistler radar detectors, namely the PRO 68, PRO 78 models and their analogues, but with the prefix "SE" in the title. Advertising convinces that the PRO series is the flagship radar detector, almost the US military standard. The buyer believes in what they say to him, and even more so, such a famous brand. No matter how offensive it is, everything is not so smooth in practice. Even minor flaws can annoy a user of a radar detector, even an expensive model.

Mount

	Inside the Whistler PRO radar detector there is a plastic latch that has contact with a metal bracket.
	Thin plastic does not guarantee tight fixation. It turns out that the radar detector dangles and over time the plastic retainer will fall off.
	After several months of operation, thin plastic usually breaks in this place:
	From now on, the body of the radar detector is not fixed and needs repair. This problem is present not only in the PRO-series, but also in Whistler radar detectors, which have a side release button.

Regulator

	The Whistler PRo side-mounted volume control for anti-radar detectors (which also performs other functions) is designed for very sensitive and accurate use. We advise you not to use it in motion, for hitting a pothole on the road, if you press hard, the plastic edge of the regulator may break:


	As a result, the radar detector will not turn on or turn off or adjust the volume. Warranty obligations are not considered in this case.

Speaker

Whistler radar detector (radar detector)

Everyone knows that the power must be less than that for which the speaker itself is designed. In our case, its power is 0.5 W, and the power of the chip-amplifier is much higher. We advise you not to make the volume at the maximum value, otherwise there will be a distortion at the beginning of operation and a failure-later. We do not recommend to buy a radar detector, where instead of the speaker is installed "boozer":

Its operation at high volume will lead to membrane detachment.

In the event of a short circuit inside the "buzer", its body begins to melt and disables the transistor controlling it. As a result, the fuse burns or the radar detector body melts. But here you can safely rely on warranty service.

Looking at these "little things", the question of "American quality" is completely exhausted. Especially, if we consider that Whistler radar detectors are produced at the same plant in the Philippines as low-cost Sho-me. It’s a shame that our buyer has repeatedly been forced to pay, not for a quality factor, but for a “promoted” name in our market. Of course, these radar detectors show themselves only with the best in the countries for which they are designed. But for the road situation in Ukraine, they are more than suitable for either the parameters or the quality of performance. The buyer simply chooses what he needs, based on their needs. On 130.com.ua you can you can buy a radar detector in Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev with delivery in Ukraine.
