Description

The Whistler XTR-265 Radar / Laser Detector features total 360-degree band protection in a small, convenient unit that mounts to your windshield. This laser detector monitors X, K, Ka, and SuperWide bands - in other words, it covers all bands used by police radar, including "Stalker" style radar guns. With selectable tone alerts, a variety of mode settings, and built-in VG-2 cloaking technology, it's one of the most advanced and reasonably priced detectors on the market.


Advanced Features of the Whistler XTR-265


Patented VG-2 cloaking technology
Police in many areas use "radar detector detectors," also known as RDD, which pick up the emissions of your radar detector and alert police to its use. VG-2 cloaking technology alerts you to the presence of VG-2 radar and helps alert you to the presence of a speed trap.


POP mode radar detection with twin alert low-profile periscopes
POP mode is a form of police radar gun developed several years ago in an attempt to offer radar that would defeat detectors. The transmissions from POP mode radar are much faster than those from typical radars, and are emitted in short bursts rather than long signals like those from typical radar. The XTR-265 can detect even the quick signals of POP mode radar in your area, and alert you in plenty of time. Flashing LEDs on the twin low-profile periscopes give you a visual warning, but can be turned off if you choose.


3 city modes and 1 highway mode
City mode helps reduce the interference and confusion that can be caused by things like automatic door openers, burglar alarm alerts, and other things that can cause your detector to react. While in city mode, the detector will provide an initial alert when signals are detected, and then remain quiet unless the signal strength increases. When and if the signal does increase, the unit will alert you again to notify you. This helps "weed out" other types of signals. In highway mode, the XTR-265 provides full audio and visual warning of all laser and radar signals and maintains full sensitivity at all times. Highway mode is the set default.


Quiet and Auto Quiet modes
Quiet Mode cancels audio during an alert for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, two beeps are provided on any new alert, and then the unit will remain quiet after that. Auto Quiet reduces the audio to level 1 approximately five seconds after a signal is detected.

  • 10.500 - 10.550 GHz (X band)

      Comments about Whistler XTR-265 Radar / Laser Detector:

      I purchased the XTR-265 mainly because of the price point and the features it said it offered. So far it works pretty good, I haven't had it long enough to know how good it will work. It does do a good job of not picking up all the annoying automatic door openers. So far pretty good.
