The Whistler XTR-140 is an access akin alarm detector that absolutely performs adequately well. This accessory is on the low end in commendations to appearance and price, but it has abundant achievement to advice a accidental speeder abstain some tickets.
For beneath than the amount of abounding parking tickets, the Whistler XTR-140 is a abundant low end alarm detector. It doesn't accept actual abounding features, it doesn't accept a actual nice display, and the admonishing sounds leave a lot to be desired, but this accessory does ascertain alarm and laser adequately well.

Radar Detector Suction Cups
The XTR-140 comes with a windshield mount, a ability cord, and an apprenticeship manual. The windshield arise is absolutely adequately acceptable and the assimilation cups stick to the window bigger than some of the added big-ticket alarm detectors we've tested. The ability bond is a appealing low affection beeline (not coiled) cord, but is continued abundant and it gets the job done. We absolutely wouldn't characterize this assemblage as acceptable looking, but it gets the job done.
There are abandoned 3 user selectable appearance on this unit. It has 3 burghal modes, a artery mode, a quiet mode, and a VG2 on/off mode. The XTR-140 is not Able to bethink any settings, so every time you about-face it on, you'll accept to change your settings back.

On the road, we got abundant X and K bandage apprehension ambit with the Whistler XTR-140, but we begin the Ka-band ambit to be somewhat lacking. While we still were Able to apathetic bottomward in time, we had some Ka-band encounters that were too abutting for comfort. If you don't accept abundant Ka-band in your area, or you can bethink to drive anxiously in areas breadth Ka-band is used, you should be Able to get abroad with application this detector. If Ka-band is accustomed in your are, we acclaim activity with a added big-ticket detector from Beltronics or Escort for the best protection.
We begin the active tones on this assemblage appealing poor. We weren't Able to acquaint the aberration amid the bands based on complete abandoned and we bare to attending at the assemblage anniversary time it alerted. While this may not complete like a big deal, we don't like to booty our eyes off the alley if we don't accept to.
If you are attractive to get started with alarm detectors, this is abundant aboriginal unit. It is appealing inexpensive, and can be acclimated to apprentice how badge use radar, what bands are accustomed in your area, or aloof to accept some fun to actuate breadth badge are hiding.
We would acclaim this alarm detector to anyone who is attractive for a low cost, but adequately able-bodied assuming unit. If you are dispatch constantly, or drive added than 10-15 afar over the acceleration limit, we'd acclaim you advancement to a altered model.
