Digital camera reviews of Whistler XTR-140 Laser/Radar Detector with Exclusive Twin-Alert Periscopes
Digital camera Review: Does The Job
Summary: 5 Stars
The unit performs as advertised
Accurate alerts with enough time to slow down (if doing 5-10 miles over the speed limit)
Ka performance is adequate
Not in the class of a Bel or Escort but for my purposes, a good reminder to keep to the speed limit on the highways.
Would recommend with this purpose in mind. For $34.99, delivers much more performance than competing brands at similar price points.

 Compact and easy to mount on your windshield. |
The XTR-140 also features Whistler's new attention grabbing feature, the dual LED alert periscope. Two blue LED's sit atop the XTR-140 and flash when you receive an alert, helping to grab your attention.
The Whistler XTR-140 includes an Alert Priority feature, which makes sure the most important alert is displayed if multiple alerts are detected. A battery saver option turns off your detector automatically if you forget.
Laser Audio / Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected, the display indicates alert by illuminating the "V/L" and scrolling the signal strength indicators from right to left or display indicates an L on the display. The audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
Dual LED Alert Periscope
Whistler's new Dual LED Alert Periscope provides an additional attention getting visual alert. The two extra LED's flash on and off when the unit alarms to provide a unique visual alert. This alert can be programmed, through the Option Select Mode to: 1. flash for all alarms, 2. remain on, or 3. turn LEDs off completely.
City vs. Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio and visual warning of laser/radar systems while maintaining full sensitivity. Highway mode is the default setting of all Whistler's laser/radar detectors. City mode helps reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers and burglar alarm alerts by providing an initial alert (same distance as Highway Mode) then remaining quiet unless the signal strength becomes very strong. When the signal increases the unit will alert briefly to notify you of the change in signal strength.
Quiet Mode and Auto Quiet Mode
Quiet Mode cancels audio during an alert and any new alert within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, approximately 2 beeps are provided on any new alert and unit then remains quiet. Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to level (1) approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety radar signal is detected. The alert for any new signal within 20 seconds will resume at level (1). Auto Quiet does not affect VG-2 or laser alerts.
