Almost As Good As Pro 78SE,
I have owned the Pro 78SE for over two years now. It has served me well. The Pro 68SE is built on Pro 78 RevC platform.I bought this as a backup. Like the title says, it is almost as good as the Pro 78SE. The detection distance is a little shorter, but still strong enough to give advanced warning. For those of you who suffer false alarms, be sure to turn POP mode off(This I learned from calling Whistler, and speaking to an engineer). If you do, the false alarms, will all but cease.
This detector is relatively quiet, even when left in Highway mode. We do not have X Band enforcement in Florida that I know of, and therefore I disabled it. Yes you will not defeat all false signals, especially if an X Band signal is to strong (will show up as K Band). However, you will experience the same thing with Pro 78SE, should you decide to spend more money.
This is a great detector. If you do not need the voice prompts, and I am not sure anyone does, then I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Again the distance is almost comparable to their more expensive Pro Series. The only recommendation I would have for this unit, would be to save the brightness setting, which changes every time you restart the detector.

|Nice product,
This is my first radar detector and I’m not an expert on radar detectors but given its price I’m very happy with it so far. Almost all Ka band alarms (this is been said the most popular band in NY state) were true alarms. The unit doesn’t show which direction the signal is coming from but either my lane or the opposite I saw a cop every time. There is only 2-3 instances so far I drove right by a police car and the unit didn’t give any signal but I don’t know if it’s the unit’s fault or the radars were off or the cops were using laser guns which they didn’t point to my car. I use City 2 mode in the city and got constant K band alarms near the traffic lights (the product was good near automatic door openers so far unless you’re driving right in front of them by a few yards). When I read about it, most of the traffic light sensors use K band signals, so I wouldn’t call them as false alarms. My personal opinion is even if you have the most expensive radar detector, don’t be stupid to go over 20-30 mph over the speed limit in the city, especially at night. Cops don’t need a detector to see that you’re flying. However, if you are buying this product for highway use, it’s a very nice product. One of the online reviews call pro-68se as the best radar detector under 100$.
Lastly, I like the power cable’s length, windshield mount is very sturdy. So far, so good.
Don’t forget to keep your eyes open for laser and pop detection. What I watched on youtube is that laser detection only needs 1-2 seconds to read your speed.Again, even if you have the most expensive detector, you wouldn’t have much chance against laser.

|Works well,
I’m happy with this radar detector. It is fairly easy to use and seems to give a good deal of warning. It has the features I want, although it lacks some fancy features of other more expensive detectors. It’s quite modestly priced. It’s a little bit difficult to get off the bracket (especially if the bottom of your windshield is hard to reach), but I do it twice a day, so it’s no big deal. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a moderately priced unit.
