What is a radar and laser detector?These kinds of items are used to alert drivers to speed traps in their vicinity. A speed trap is a technique used by law enforcement to determine if motorists are exceeding the speed limit, and law enforcement officers have traditionally used types of radar to gauge the velocity of oncoming vehicles. When installed in a vehicle, these devices pick up the scattered radiation that is emitted from one of these law enforcement tools from a distance. Law enforcement officers have become wise to this practice and have started using lasers instead. However, items from this brand detect both types of law enforcement tools.
What radar and laser detector models are offered?Whistler makes a wide variety of items that detect speed traps. A few commonly-used models include:
- XTR-540 Cordless - The XTR-540 is an entry-level offering from this brand. This device comes equipped with an auto-shutoff feature, and it can be installed in any vehicle model. The XTR-540 features a bright blue display, and it is powered by two AA batteries. It is equipped with a Stay Alert feature that tests the readiness of the driver, and it can be set to City Mode when used in an urban area to minimize the potential of false alarms.
