Whistler XTR-695 Radar Detectors
Here in the United States there are three distinct frequency bands: 33.8 GHz, 34.7 GHz, and 35.5 GHz.
The XTR695 has not left our International friends out in the cold as they have included the nominal frequencies of the commonly used Ka that are prevalent at other nations which utilize other portions of the Ka-band, such as 34.0 GHz and 34.3 GHz.
Some knowledgeable drivers will begin rotating a polarized radar detector by 90 degrees to gain better reception of the higher quality police radar by as much as 15 db. When a Ka signal is received by the XTR-695 because of another radar's interference that falls outside of the limited parameters, the Whistler XTR-695 automatically alerts with their KA display by simply not showing a frequency indicator.
But wait! There are even more incredible capabilities of a Whistler XTR-695. Using Laser Signal Identification, or LSID, the Whistler can predetermine and separate true police radar from unreal ones with police laser (which is also known as lidar).
Lidar focuses on the idea of highly focused laser to excrete a "pulse" that emits and is able to tell the exact "coming or going" speed. Modern police Laser guns use a certain pulse rate that is measured each second.
Most of the pulse rates fall between the margins of 100 Hz to 400 Hz. Occasionally you will see some International brands at 600 PPS, however this is not common. The Whistler XTR-695 is able to determine a police laser's "pulse train, which is normally only found in police laser jammers/shifters and then displays a per second numerical pulse rate.
For example, if a certain police laser has a pulse rate of 100 PPS, the Whistler will describe it as having a 1% tolerance. To understand the value of the Whistler, it is important to realize that the Whistler XTR-695 can distinguish false from real sources of laser and let you know immediately.
