cowboyjack's Full Review: Whistler DE-1730 Radar Detector
I am writing a special review for this radar detector for the people shopping for a superb radar detector priced at a reasonable level and offers very good protection. I purchased this unit about two months ago. Since then it has saved me more times than you can imagine. Excellent rating on X, K, KA, and Laser.

I live in the State of Texas and when I first got this unit I went through what they call here "Police Trap City" just a small town, blink an eye and your through unless your are speeding.Then you will get detained. They run X band and K band units and I picked them up more than a mile away, plenty of time to monitor for proper speed. The city that I live in, the Police and Sheriff department use K band exclusively. No problem again picking up radar a mile away or better. However KA band is sensitive enough and works quite well but the TXDPS state troopers only shoot about 500-1500 ft range so be alert. So it wont matter if you have a more expensive detector in this type of scenario, if they are shooting that type of range. Another words the adage if you are out there by yourself and the detector has seen them, they have seen you. The laser also works quite well but that is if they are pointing at your windshield. Most traffic enforcement officers point at the tag. I actually did see an officer point at my windshield and laser went off no problem about a 1/4 mile away. It is as the other reviewers here say the best $40.00 dollars I have ever spent. If you are looking for a good quality unit this is a excellent choice. Also detected POP when POP is on so if you are looking for a detector that gives an early warning on POP buy a unit with POP.
