XTR690 Whistler radar detectors Whistler XTR690 high performance Radar Detector- $495 
FREE $49 Accessory offer: Laser Tester, Car MP3 Player or Keychain Alcohol Tester. Whistler XTR-690 radar detector: Here you will find extensive information, pictures, videos and reviews on the Whistler XTR-690 high performance radar detector. The Whistler XTR-690 offers performance exceeding that of any previous Whistler detector! According to the manufacturer, the XTR-690 will deliver performance very similar to that of a high performance Bel or Escort model - at less than half the price. 3 year standard warranty, three times longer than most other brands at no extra cost! Euro / Multanova mode now standard. 
The XTR-690 also offers all of the features you would expect in a high performance detector. It will detect POP mode radar and provides Whistler's Real Voice alerts. The XTR-690 provides a blue back-lit text display, identical to the display on other high end XTR series models. A digital compass is also provided.
The Whistler XTR-690 also delivers several features that are new to Whistler (other than the Bel/Escort-like performance). These are: a "periscope" alert LED on the top of the unit, opposite the "laser eye", a battery voltage meter, and true VG-2 immunity. Other Whistler detectors employ "VG-2 cloaking", in which the detector shuts itself down when it detects the VG-2.
Whistler XTR-690 quotes and feedbackIt 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 I am very impressed with the overall sensitivity. It allowed me an abundant amount of time to react in a situation. I also like the other little features it comes with! Online product review December 2007 Pictures of installed Whistler XTR690 radar detectors.
