    Product Description

    The Whistler CR73 radar detector provides total band protection against all radar guns used today - including X-band, K-band, Superwide Ka-band and laser. Total laser detection identifies Laser Atlanta Stealth mode, Laser Ally, and the new LTI Truspeed S. It delivers 360 degrees of complete perimeter protection, detecting signals from the front, sides, and rear. The digital icon display and signal strength indicator will let you know how close to the signal source you are while the POP Mode has advanced speed detection capability that responds to brief bursts of radar. The CR73 also offers Traffic Flow Signal Rejection (TFSR) technology to help eliminate false alerts from radar based traffic monitoring systems. This detector has other features such as real voice alerts, setting saver, dim/dark mode, 3 city modes, alert priority, vehicle battery saver, and VG-2 detection. Measures 4.46" L x 2.83" W x 1.26" H, and includes the radar detector, a 12V power cord, windshield bracket kit, and a user guide.

    Customers like the GPS feature of the radar detector. They say it's good, but the internal database doesn't seem up to date. They also appreciate the traffic cam alerts and the decent detection range for Ka band. Overall, customers are satisfied with the long range detection and accuracy of the product.

    "...in the metro area, but I can tell you both K and Ka-band detection is GREATLY improved on the CR85 meaning MUCH MORE range and heads-up!..." Read more

    "...The v1 does not have near the adjustability, no GPS so therefore no automatic muting or traffic light radar sensing, and along with it's high..." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the radar detector. Some mention that it performs admirably, works far better than detectors of only a few years ago, and is perfectly acceptable. However, others say that it doesn't work properly, doesn''t pick up much of anything, and that it's impossible to use at all in Rochester, NY.

    "...They do work, and work far better than the detectors of only a few years ago...." Read more

    "...the thing that is most disappointing is that it’s NOT self sustaining on internal battery power...." Read more

    "...As for actually detecting police radars this thing performs admirably. Saved my skin plenty of times...." Read more

    Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the radar detector. Some say that it's well worth the price, while others say that the price was more expensive than they wanted to spend and that it was flawed.

    "...But they do make by far and away the best cheap radar detectors, and they are useful , good, reliable, and attractive units that can be plugged in..." Read more

    "...Overall, nice performance for the price, but nothing that blows you away for the most part. And those random false positive laser alerts..." Read more

    "...Do NOT even think about buying a Cobra. They don't even compare! Cobra is crap...." Read more

    "...But the price cannot be beat for what you do get, even without internal power...." Read more

    289 customers mention176 positive113 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the radar detector. Some mention it's a high quality, strong detector, and an extremely solid product. However, others say that it'd be better suited for those looking for a reliable, lower-priced detector.

    "...and away the best cheap radar detectors, and they are useful , good, reliable, and attractive units that can be plugged in and go right to work..." Read more

    "...I thank Whistler for really bumping up their game! Much better quality than their older detectors.Pros:..." Read more

    223 customers mention76 positive147 negative

    Customers are mixed about the false alarm rate of the radar detector. Some mention that it keeps false alerts to a minimum, giving sufficient warning that police are watching. However, others say that it gets a ton of false alarms, especially with newer vehicles with radar.

    "...The CR90s do work very well on Ka but continue to false a lot on the default laser settings, usually indicating 300 to 302 Hz for some reason...." Read more

    "...I am very impressed by the range (radar detector gave plenty of warning time). Definitely saved me and my friends some money..." Read more

    "...Its a trade off, long range detection means more perceived false alerts where you never see a cop even if he was actually off in the distance or..." Read more

    "...Sadly, even with the out-of-the-box config, the detector failed to alert me to a LONG (years) standing red-light-camera in my metro area...." Read more

    106 customers mention71 positive35 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the radar detector. Some mention it's very simple to use, with great instructions. They say the programmability is outstanding, and the display is clear and understandable. However, others say the instructions in the book are not detailed, and tedious to set. They also mention that the directions on how to update are worthless, and it requires plugging into a computer via USB to do the cam updates.

    "...Navigating the menu and customizing the settings on this thing is easy and fairly straightforward Turn to the instruction manual if you ever get..." Read more

    "...-More settings/easy to use (the CR90 adds more settings and filters for maximum performance, they are also easy to change)..." Read more

    "...There are no less than 36 menu settings and the user's manual does a terrible job telling what they are and what the various settings do...." Read more

    "...Boy, was I wrong. It's a great unit and much, much more user friendly than the V1 ever was...." Read more

    Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the radar detector. Some say that it's very quiet, not chatty, and has customizable tones. They also appreciate the clear talking alerts and voice warning. However, others say that the volume is too loud, the alarm sounds terrible, and the audio does not work right.

    "...It's so sharp, loud (I have the volume all the way up) and unexpected (on a random backroad with no side streets) that it scares the hell out of..." Read more

    "...City mode is pretty quiet (beside from the occasional supermarket door, which you can then turn off K or X band, eliminating those)..." Read more

    "...The voice warning is excellent too. The Slingshot is open and can be loud especially when the stereo is on. The voice will cut through that...." Read more

    "...-Compass (neat to have, informative accessory)-Customizable audible alerts..." Read more

    74 customers mention45 positive29 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the range of the radar detector. Some say that it has an amazing range for Ka Band radar, while others say that the range could be better. Some customers also mention that the pop mode greatly reduces the range. Overall, the range is not as good as other premium brands.

    "...I am very impressed by the range (radar detector gave plenty of warning time). Definitely saved me and my friends some money..." Read more

    "...Wisconsin- decided to turn on pop mode big mistake, it greatly reduces the range please use that one at your own risk, don't know why I didn't get..." Read more

    "...Ka-band detection is GREATLY improved on the CR85 meaning MUCH MORE range and heads-up!..." Read more

    "...The range is OK, not great. I came up on police/sheriffs/HW patrols quite often, within seeing distance, before I got an alert...." Read more

    Great detector I pushed it to the limit?
    5 Stars
    Great detector I pushed it to the limit?
    Got reassigned from nc to Alaska and had to drive one of my two cars myself to get there, it was brutal but here is how it worked.my configs: all bands on KA set to maxid, tfsr on, no pop. I traveled at a minimum 10 over max 20 overNC- nothingVA- cops everywhere thing picked every single one of them around corners and hills, had to set it on the dash cause its illegal there much harder to see and it still worked well.WV- nothing meaning didn't see copsOhio- nothingIndianapolis-nothingIllinois- this one was hot cops and traffic cams, first and only full x band from a state trooper, also laser but Chicago traffic was so busy I can't see any cop chasing someone without getting killed.Wisconsin- decided to turn on pop mode big mistake, it greatly reduces the range please use that one at your own risk, don't know why I didn't get pulled over there.Minnesota- only state where I passed cops and nothing went off don't know if they are personally looking for speeders and then turn their radar on as soon as you pass, they all wait in the center median so keep eyes open.North dakota- one cop trying to hide at a gas station it's so open out there the Whistler has unbelievable range, was FLYING!!!Montana- cops use the old Texas technique where they all drive on the other side of the highway clocking traffic passing them across the median, as soon as you speed pass them they 180 around the median and get you. Your range is reduce with this technique but so are theres, your driving 70 the cop is driving 70 the other way with 140 difference, you must be quick here to stop as soon as the cr90 warns you.Idaho- nothingWashington- cops use laser here and traffic cams are EVERYWHERE, still speed through it though most cops use ka. Lots of unmarked cop cars though so be carefulAlaska- few cops open range lots of mountains cops can't really hideCanada- speed limit was 55 for 400 miles of nothing drove 70 and picked off one cop passing me.I say this was a great investment for the price, just because you see the cop in the distance when the cr90 goes off does not mean he has you yet I am a prime example of that for sure. Make sure you mount it mid way on windshield not low it reduces range. The KA-ID is the best feature as well as the custom features selection. Must be careful in metro areas. Don't blare music or wear headphones/blue tooth to the point that you can't hear the system go off you only have a second or two stay alert.
