What is the best radar detector is the $200 or less range?
There are some good detectors under $200, For 2008 in this price range we recommend the Whistler XTR-695 at $169.95, Whistler Pro 78 at $159.95 or the Whistler XTR-690 radar detector at $149.95. Whistler did some re-engineering with these products and the new Whistler detectors offer much better range than any previous Whistler model. Another solid choice would be the Beltronics V955 at $169.95. For a limited time we have some of the higher end Beltronics V965 units available at the same price ($169.95) as the V955 so this would be a great choice and a very good deal since it normally sold at $209.
There are some good detectors under $200, Currently we have 3 units that perform very well in this price range we recommend the Whistler XTR-695SE at $169.95, Whistler Pro 78SE at $169.95, Whistler XTR-690SE at $159.95. The SE models are the latest detectors from Whistler and on these second edition (SE) they managed to add some neat features but more importantly they were able to squeeze additional KA Band performance out of them. All 3 share the same antenna but there are some slight feature differences between the 3 models.
