gancanny Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Not very scientific.. wow.. 600m on a straight road with minimal traffic.. and still no definitive measuring device.My Pro78 performs flawlessly and has picked up everything I have come across with plenty of warning in the year I've had it, I can't see the justification for your rubbishing. P.S. Grammar is your friend. whats your problom dude why dont you post a vid of your whislter .when i drove down the same rd the very next day i reset my odo metre if this is not a measureing tool this means that where not traveling as far as we think im not saying that i get 600 metre every time each camara vairys in distance how does the whistler perform picking up multinova s that shoot you from behind???? i wasnt rubishing whisler i personally think that both detecters perform the same but what i am saying both detecters are shit. please post some vids and go to bunnings to buy a measureing stick if your so concerned about distance infact i think a tape measure will do for those rear shots ps who gives a f**k about grammer no hard feelings my freind Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229898-radar-detectors/page/5/#findComment-4309155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I don't feel the need to attempt to provide video evidence, my detector performs fine in ALL situations, even multi's behind (admittedly I didn't know wtf was going on the first time it picked one of those up as I couldn't see the damn thing!) I'm just sceptical about your intentions. You joined yesterday, have 6 posts which are all in this thread. Sounds a lot like some other dick that was on here spouting the same shit you are.

bryno Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've got a pro78 and that picked up a multanova from behind as well.. and it wasn't even mounted on the windscreen, was sitting on the passenger seat! didn't realise that was actually possible...

WRRR Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 FWIW I have a Pro78 and am not that impressed with its performance so far. With Multanovas (Ka) the warning distance can be as low as 50m even on a straight road. Worse is it seems inconsistent. Laser I don't even bother trying to detect. Mobile (K) is acceptable (but not as good as my 20yr old Q4000LR - go figure). Unit is installed high for max detection. Lucky I am a law abiding citizen.

Lucky I am a law abiding citizen. i used to get the same inconsistent allerts with the xr70 some days 200 next 50 or 20 metre warnings since i mount it vertical to match the polirisation of the multinova it looks a bit like this enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR76-eLFwdc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229898-radar-detectors/page/5/#findComment-4419714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toohey s extra dry Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks dude. Yeah, I know the shop, been in there once before when I was looking for a vertical bracket (which I never ended up getting). Might go in tomorrow if I get time, Morley is just down the road.I was also thinking about getting a laser jammer from them when money permits lol. google delonixradar he does vertical mounts Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229898-radar-detectors/page/5/#findComment-4425177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

reNEGaDe88 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Legal in WA. Not legal in Vic or NSW. This is due to front facing speed camera's on cop cars. So they can get ur speed when driving towards you. That is not used over east. So u win some, you loose some.
