WAIT! Before you write off this Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770 as yet another boring old semi-legal piece of junk like so many others we sell, you should know that there’s more to this radar detector than realistic voice alerts, NOAA weather radio, and all-band, 360-degree protection from radar and laser. Take a look at these Astonishing Tales of the Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770...if you dare.

The Incredible Migrating Whistler: Donna Bostic of Wilmington, Delaware lost her Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770, seemingly forever – only to find it while on vacation some 3,000 miles away in Eugene, Oregon, under the front passenger seat of her own car!

Double Your Amazement: Twin boys born in Dayton, Ohio were adopted and raised by two different families living hundreds of miles apart. Despite growing up separately, when the two men met as adults, they discovered some incredible similarities. Each of their first names started with J; both twins enjoyed sleeping for several hours each night; each man held a full-time job; both spoke fluent English; and they both considered radar detectors like the Whistler DE-1770 to be an immoral, ineffective waste of money.

Eye-Poke Miracle: When Alan Yabuki of Cheyenne, Wyoming was involved in a minor motoring accident, his eye was impaled on the antenna of his Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770. Remarkably, Yabuki’s eye showed no impairment of visual function. Shards of the broken glass eye did cut Yabuki up pretty bad, though.

Two Dead Presidents: Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Lincoln was elected president in 1860. Kennedy was elected president in 1960. “Lincoln” has seven letters. “Kennedy” has seven letters. Lincoln never owned a Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770. Kennedy never owned a Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770. Coincidence?

We The (Stupid) People: While cleaning an old writing table he bought at a flea market, Mark O’Conner of Schuylkill Township, Pennsylvania discovered a sheaf of weathered old papers in one of the drawers. By the time O’Conner learned that the papers included an original copy of the U.S. Constitution worth some $4.8 million, he had already traded the papers for a virtually worthless Whistler Radar Detector DE-1770.
