I haven't seen this C&D yet (April or March?).  Which Whistler models did

they test?

Automobile mag did a test in Jan and the Whistler 1490 rated #1...they did

note that Bel and Val were in the process of upgrading and a new Whistler

was on the way.

I'm curious as how the numbers compare between the two articles.
