PROFILE |
 |
The tune at The Whistler Group goes something like, "beep, beep, beep, beep." Whistler is a leading maker of radar detectors. It offers radar and laser detectors and power inverters through mass merchandisers and electronic and automotive specialty retailers. Whistler, which had expanded its product line to include stoves, hair dryers, coffeemakers, mini-TVs, and other products that plugged into vehicle cigarette lighters, reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1999. It stopped making garage doors and garage door openers. Founded in 1971, Whistler is owned by a diverse group of private investors.
