Cons

Recommended it?
Yes
I purchased a used Whistler 1788 radar detector. I feel its a good radar detector. It picks up K, Ka and Laser very good. I live in Tampa Bay, Florida and there are so many speed traps all over. Especially in the construction zones where the speed limit drops and the fines are double. I was on US 19 and the car ahead was hit with laser. My whistler picked it up with no problem. I also encountered another speed trap with K band. The Whistler 1788 alerted me about one mile before I saw the cop. The winshield mount is no good, but its found a comfortable place on my dash. I feel the sensitivity it very good and I dont get many false alarms. When it alerts me I pay attention.
If you dont have 300.00 to spend on a radar detector then this unit will do the job.
