Whistler PRO-78 quotes and feedback  "Particularly with Ka from the front, when compared to one of the Beltronics STi Drivers, when POP was OFF, the Whistler Pro-78 tended to be the first to respond" Veil Guy review.
"The Pro 78 has an even wider array of user-selectable features... The Filter settings are particularly useful in reducing false alarms although even without them, the Whistler is quieter than the competition (less false alerts" Craig Peterson of Radar Tests, March 2008 review. "More importantly, the Whistler Pro 78 equalled the V1's range on both X and Ka band, an achievement of some significance for a detector with a price one third as much." Craig Peterson of Radar Tests, March 2008 review. "After crunching the numbers it's clear that the Pro 78 can handily dispatch its competition from Cobra and is easily the best-performing Whistler I've tested. Its stellar showing compared to the... Valentine One is a testament to the fact that for the first time, a value-priced model can just about run with the big dogs." Craig Peterson of Radar Tests, March 2008 review. "I have driven nearly a half of million miles in my 27 plus years of driving many of those miles while in possession of one radar detector or another. Not until now, have I encountered a radar detector so chock-full-of-features and as capable at either of the Whistler Pro-78 or Whistler XTR-690 for so little money." Veil Guy review. It is my opinion that these new Whistler radar detectors represent two of the greatest values in radar detector ownership, today. VeilGuy August 2007
In a nutshell, the levels of performance that the Whistler Pro 78 and Whistler XTR-690 achieve, in some cases, are simply astounding considering that my comparison radar detector was a Beltronics STi Driver. VeilGuy August 2007
I must give Kudos to the engineers at Whistler for certainly raising the bar
Radar Roy June 2007
the Ka sensitivity (with POP mode detection OFF) was now similar to that of the Bel STi Driver, and even outperformed the STi in some cases." VeilGuy July 2007
A recent independent test substantiates our results seen here in Australia. Some suppliers continue to show out of date and widely inaccurate results using misleading scales to zoom to a small section of results. Below are tests from a recent US based test.
