Whistler XTR-560 Laser/Radar Detector with Customizable Display, Alerts with POP Detection and INTELLICORD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While this does not have the radar range of the top-3 detectors, (unlike Cobras) it has been adequate. Laser detection is top notch though.
I didn't expect voice being a nice feature, but it enables you to know the radar band quickly and without looking at the detector. I would definitely recommend this feature to everyone.
False alerts are normal for it's price range (read close to no filtering). Radar detectors are not very useful (read quiet) in cities ;)
Interestingly enough, the microwave front end of the XTR-560, XTR-425, XTR-325, Pro-73, and Pro-58 are the same, and their algorithms similar. Thus, they have the same performance, but different features / display / warranty.
Finally, as far as I've heard, their customer support is excellent.

Product Description:
Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Whistler XTR-560 Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Ready for use with Whistler's Intelli-Cord remote control programmer, the XTR-560 gives you 360-degree protection from a full range of detection signals, including X, K, Ka, and safety band radar, as well as laser and VG-2 detector detection. In addition, the XTR-560 is sensitive to the Ku wavelength band that is widely used in Europe and that has been recently approved for use in the United States. And the XTR-560 is specially equipped to detect the rapid bursts of POP mode radar, which last less that 1/15 of a second and are undetectable by non-POP-equipped detectors.
Competitive detection and plenty more.
Lightweight and compact, the XTR-560 can fit right by your windshield, giving you easy visual access to the blue-background LCD text display. And to limit false alerts, the XTR-560 gives you a choice of three different detection modes, letting you avoid the annoyance of repeated automatic door opener and burglar alarm warnings when you're driving in the city, but letting you know if signal strength becomes strong.
The XTR-560 is also designed for fun. With several programming options, you can have personalized text displays on your LCD screen as well as programmable alert tones. And the XTR-560 has changeable trim rings, so that you can choose from three different colors--black, pink and blue--letting you show off the sleek and bright radar detector that suits your mood. You can even modify the standard laser/radar detector�s audio tones. Audio tones such as "X Band," "K Band," "Ka Band," "Ku Band" and "Laser" can be changed to play up to 15 seconds of a favorite tune, phrase, saying, almost anything you like.
So with the Whistler XTR-560 Radar/Laser Detector in your car or truck, you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel.
