## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is frequency output range?what is the wattage?**
A: This is a standard U.S. channelized CB radio. The frequency range is 26.965 to 27.405 MHz and the output wattage is limited at 4 watts EIRP which is the legal limit for the band. Output range depends on location geography, feed line and antenna matching, and atmospheric conditions. CB can carry over great distances during periods of high solar activity.

**Q: Do i need to buy and antenna for this? Or does it come with one?**
A: Looking for a hand held for trail use only for group off roading 4x4.  Without purchasing a new antenna is my trail range 100-200 yards?

**Q: Does the radio have a 12v plug or does it need to be wired up?**
A: And no there is no 12v plug or anything. Just has a positive and negative for wiring to your power supply of your choosing. And yes to needing to be wired up which is easier than you think.

**Q: Could a few of these be used for a small taxi business? We would be servicing a 10-mile radius.**
A: 10 miles might be pushing it, but most of it will depend on the type of antenna and where you locate it on the vehicle. I wouldn't recommend any antenna for what you need that is less than 4 feet tall and you should try to get that as high as possible on the vehicle. However, you may not be able to reliably reach one another on a consistent basis. Unfortunately due to the access to CB radios, you may experience a lot of congestion and could potentially spend a lot of times just trying to find a clear frequency away from other crazies out there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long term (5.5 year) update PRO505XL
*by J***J on August 15, 2017*

Great CB on the cheap. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could; it's not a full blown 'knock my socks off' 5 stars, but for what it costs it has performed fantastically. I didn't bother with a review before since there's well over 1000, but since I managed to finally break it, now is a good time to do a long term review. Purchase date was April 2013 so it's a little over 4.5 years old. (Edit 2018...it's now 5.5 years old and still works...except for the speaker) It's in my Jeep so no roof or doors most of the time. Tons of dust and occasional mud, water, etc. It's mounted with the speaker facing inward to avoid the occasional splash or direct rain before I can get the roof up, but that's about the only real preventive measure. Dang thing still works after 5.5 years, but the speaker died over a year ago. Got an external speaker. REALLY should have done that sooner. SO much better than the little one in the c.b. (when it worked). Great for a noisy Jeep. And as far as transmissions go, I'm told my setup is one of the clearer ones to hear. Anyway, for around 30 bucks and 5.5 years of abuse, I can't complain, and the little dude still operates...mostly. One other thing to consider: It's brother the 510 got the ANL option and this one has the PA option. Their more expensive sibling, the 520, got both. The clarity is pretty dang good so I'm not sure how much ANL would improve my noisy Jeep experience. Wish list: It would be nice if Uniden made a small format CB with NOAA weather, just a thought.
