The Whistler XTR-330 Radar / Laser Detector uses advanced technology to offer you 360-degree band protection against police radars. Discreet, mountable to your windshield, and featuring all the latest in features, this 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, Real Voice alerts, a variety of mode settings, and built-in VG-2 cloaking technology, the XTR-330 offers everything you need in an easy-to-use unit.

Advanced Features of the Whistler XTR-330

Selectable Real Voice alerts
Real Voice alerts give you an audio vocal alert in addition to the simple band ID tones. The unit will say "X band" if an X-band signal is detected. This allows the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road and eliminates possible confusion caused by the use of tones to identify various signals. The Voice Alert is selectable. It also vocalizes safety warning messages and feature selections.

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-330 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-330 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.

Radar Frequencies:

  • 10.500 - 10.550 GHz (X band)
  • 24.050 - 24.250 GHz (K band)
  • 33.400 - 36.000 GHz (Ka Superwideband)

"Wow! This inexpensive ( will not use the word cheap as that implies no value)detector performs very very well. Ample time to slow down given the sensitivity of this little unit. Being able to turn off POP and X Band a big plus! Much less false alarms than my previous $200+ dollar Cobra. Very nice detector...." Read Full Review »

Best for the money

"The XTR 330 is loaded with features the same as on much higher priced detectors. Excellent K band detection as much as a mile but more often 1/2 to 3/4 mile, Ka detection is a little weak 1/2 to 1/4 mile. I was very suprised that this detector is excellent on K band constant around curves 1/2 mile dtection. ka band performance can be increased by turning off POP mode. Overall you can expect 3/4 to 1/4 mile detec..." Read Full Review »

"Good detector, lacks a little in range and sensitivity, But if you stay whitin 10 mph of the speed limit it should give ample warning time. Just like any detector you get false readings, city mode II takes care of most false alerts. Laser detection, good if you are not the target. Bottom of the line …"  Read Full Review »
