Keep looking for a better radar detector.
The Whistler DE-1788 was my first purchase in radar detectors. I had researched and reviewed many Whistler and Cobra models. I was still on the fence about which brand I wanted to buy when I walked into Radio Shack and saw that this model was on sale. On clearance even!! I remember having read... Read full review »
Great, If you enjoy peace and quiet...
It's a little larger than I'm used to in a detector, but it is still workable for a truck or SUV. It has a blue backlit display with a black text LCD. The silver accents and chrome plastic buttons are a nice touch. I purchased this unit from buyradardetectors.com after a semi-favorable review on... Read full review »
Not as good as radartest.com says...
I've been using an old model for years now, whistler 1675 compass. it has the least amount of false alarms. I've never gotten a ticket with it for over 6 years. Well my wife drives a lot also, thought it'd be time to get her a radar. I bought this 1788 at COMPUSA for $85. it's nice, people who... Read full review »
This radar detector is junk
This radar detector broke after 2 uses. It is heavy, the batteries don't charge very well, the bracket holding the unit to the window is very fragile and broke almost immediately. Additionally, the unit will turn it self off after several hours of driving even though hooked up to car lighter. Read full review »
Great Deal - $99.99 on Sale at Radio Shack
This is my first radar detector, and I've only had it a few days (9/2/06). I wanted one that was cordless because I thought it would be easier to manage. I like to research things and was able to find a review that gave it 4 Stars (but qualified the rating as that for a cordless unit). It is on... Read full review »
It is much better, than some people think about it
Whistler started with radars for marine corps and all products made by this company are not cheaply made, but made like military kind. I tried Cobra XRS 9930 and prefer Whistler 1788, less false alarms. Reliable. Cool display and sound alerts. Sound volume OK (just switch off "Quiet" mode)... Read full review »
Great Cordless Radar Detector
I purchased my 1788 used and I think its a great radar detector. For those of you that are not satisfied with this unit, you may have got a bad one or you need to go and purchase a 500.00 radar detector if that will make you happy. I have owned many lower priced radar detectors but I favor the... Read full review »
Excellent Radar Detector at a good price
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... Read full review »
