This detector has many cool features, and gives the initial impression that it is a hi-tech wonder. Unfortunately, the range is so limited that I have yet to hear the warning siren before I can see the cop! It seems to have a range of about four or five hundred yards, which is pitiful. My son’s Beltronics 940 is far superior.

This product is equivalent to the $100 items you would buy at a local department store. Has saved me from atleast two speeding tickets in the first month of ownership. The range is short to medium at best. The charge does not last more than 8 hours tops. I really like the fact that it is cordless which is one of the reasons I purchased this. I get a fair amount of false positives which is annoying. All in all I would go with something else.

This new whistler is great!!! The fact that it is cordless makes it universal from car to motorcycle. It’s charger works very well when plugged in to a power point for a short time. The XTR-540 lasts a whole week on one charge on my work commute, (approx 12 hours). Since my commute is 45 minutes to and from work, the battery saver set to 1 hour works well for me.
On the other side, this unit will detect radar alot further than the eye can see, if it alarms, you better believe it.
Buy it!!! for the money, it’s the best on the market. It’s better than my last $400.00 Escort that was stolen.

Overall I am very pleased with this radar detector. The one inconvenience is with the digital compass. When you mount the detector in a different vehicle or even in a different place on your car’s windshield you have to recalibrate the compass. It’s very easy to do, but a little annoying….you have to drive in two complete circles.

The XTR-540 works great. Finds the radar long before I can spot the police. It is a great tool to keep your speed in check. Being cordless,I can swap to my motorcycle with ease.
Battery lasts about 4-5 days of 50 mile roundtrip commuting.
