Uniden PRO510XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. Backlit LCD Display. Public Address. ANL Switch and 7 Watts of Audio Output. Unique PLL Circuit. S/RF LED Meter. , Black

Some off-roading friends of mine recommended, as a first time CB user, for me to buy this Uniden along with a good antenna. They were right, it is a spectacular radio and it appears the price on Amazon was the best around. They use 510 XLs for off-roading with ± a mile or so between them on the trails. Fresh out of the box, the quality of this Uniden is clear - clean, solid metal construction with robust knobs and cable connections. Bright LEDs on-screen, good squelch control, and clear led level indications as well. On the back, there is a connector for the antenna, red/black for power (with in-line fuseholder and fuse) and then an extra port for a Uniden external speaker. I would recommend the speaker for folks who mount the CB down low. I have mine mounted overhead so the 510 XL's built-in speaker fires down at us passengers... it is plenty loud enough for me in my diesel pickup and I don't even have to turn it up half way. But if you have yours mounted down low, the carpet may absorb the sound which makes the external speaker worthwhile - and they are not expensive at all. I plugged in the Uniden Pro 510XL unit in with a Wilson 1000 Mag mount base loaded antenna. The antenna is on my crew cab pickup roof, which makes for an excellent ground plane. Out of the box, I was up and running the first day I hooked it up. I could hear some conversations quite clearly, seemingly better than a clear telephone conversation. Of course, there is always chatter and conversations in-between folks talking if you are monitoring busy channels. Like any CB unit, the antenna (or antennas) makes all the difference. Most cars and pickups with an available flat mounting surface (trunk lid or roof) would do well with a Wilson brand antenna, other cars requiring side mount might accept a full whip well. Either way, get a good quality antenna and have a friend with an SWR meter help you tune it to maximize performance and avoid burning up your radio. I did not burn up my radio the first time without tuning, but with tuning I was able to bring the antenna right into the perfect safe SWR range. This is a highly recommended unit if you are just getting into CB, especially if you do not need all of the features of more expensive or complex units. The Pro 510 XL just gets the job done and does it well. Its a Rock Solid CB radio.

Pretty good unit. However it doesn’t seem to have any extra power. Smaller unit. Good mic.

I HAVE USED SEVERAL CB RADIOS BUT THIS ONE IS VERY GOOD FOR THE PRICE. IV'E USED THE Galaxy DX-939 A BUNCH AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE GALAXY JUST HAS A BUNCH OF BELLS AND WHISTLES AND THIS CB IS JUST A PLAIN BEAT AROUND COMPACT CB RADIO. I HAVE THIS MOUNTED ON MY FOUR WHEELER IN A ARMY AMMO CAN. I HAVE IT RUN TO MY 2 FT ROAD-PRO FIBER GLASS ANTENNA WITH TIMES MICROWAVE 4 FT 400 HMR CABLE. I'M PUTTING OUT 8 WATTS POWER. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS BUT WHEN YOU BUY THIS RADIO, BEFORE YOU MOUNT IT, TAKE THE FOUR SCREWS OUT ON EACH SIDE. INSIDE YOU WILL FIND THE MICRO-BOARD. IN THE MIDDLE YOU WILL FIND 3 NOBS. THEY ADJUST YOUR OUTPUT POWER OVER THE NORMAL 4 WATTS LIMIT WITCH PREVENTS YOU FROM HAVING TO BUY AN AMP. THE FIRST NOB IS RF POWER, THE SECOND RF GAIN, AND THE LAST IS YOUR FINE TOON SQUELCH. SO IF YOU BUY THIS RADIO, MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS TURN ALL OF THEM ALL THE WAY CLOCKWISE AND THAT'S IT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT BREAKING IT ITS SO EASY TO DO IT. ALL YOU NEED IS A PHILIPS SCREWDRIVER. POINT IS, IF YOU ARE NOT A TRUCKER, ALL YOU NEED IS THIS, BUY THIS RADIO!

Small, fits in my center console. Mic is sturdy but not the best mic out there. Channel knob is finicky, changing channels without looking doesn't always give you the channel you are counting to in your head. Great for the price.

After reading some of the great reviews I figured I can't go wrong with this one and the other reviews were correct, this thing is perfect. Please don't misunderstand and start with all types of comments about this being a basic radio and it doesn't this or that because that is exactly what I wanted, a "good" "solid", "basic radio" that I can trust and puts out "clear crisp audio" and that is what it does. I have done several radio checks and everyone says the same thing, "sounds good and clean" or "very crisp and clear sound" or "nice strong signal and clean audio" and for a basic low cost radio how can you miss. I have this sitting in my Toyota Tundra but it's not even mounted, it sits loose between the seat & console rattling around a bit now and again so I don't baby it at all, it takes a fair amount of shacking and rattling but handles it just fine, just fine. I recommend this one for anyone that wants a good low cost radio which will hold up and broadcast when you need it to. Very good selection no matter how you look at it.

Hey, it's cheap (price wise), it works and it's dependable in the woods. It keeps me from getting run over up in the forest roads that I roam in several days a week, wind, rain or shine. I can monitor the trucks hauling out wood and they can monitor me when I'm bumping around. I'll switch to the particular haul road's cb channel that's painted on a tree at the entrance to the road and will let whoever's listening know what forest road I'm on, what direction I'm heading, what I'm driving and what marker I'm at. Those who are running that road will usually get back to me and I'll call out the markers as I head their direction. I can hear them calling their markers out as they head towards me if we're on the same road. Either way, it's safe, sane and the C.B. does the trick. I had no problem mounting it but matching it is a bit fussy for me. The SWR readings are good, but the antenna ground needs some work. Not the c.b. Would I buy it again? Yeah. But there's one more that's a bit pricier that has the scan option for $20-$30 more. I'd have bought if I didn't buy this one. This one's cheap in price but so far it's doing the job. The speaker's a bit challenging for me (hearing impaired, go figure) but I can still figure out what's being said. It's just a bit of a challenge sometimes. Bottom line? If you need a cheap, easy to install, usable C.B. this is the one. When they say "compact", they mean it. I run it in my 2015 Ford F150 4X4 (short box) but keep in mind you will have to ground the antenna mount. Too many folks forget that part. I run it with a 4 ft. FireStick most of the time. I had my last FireStick "borrowed" when I parked my truck in a store's parking lot. When I came back outside my FireStick antenna was gone. So, right now I'm running around with a little magnetic mount on the roof. It works but it's no FireStick. I gave it 5 stars because it's better than my old one that I paid double this price for when I bought it. That one was borrowed and never returned.

Install and set up instructions were easy to follow. Once hooked up and dialed in, everything appears to work as expected. Price was good, but wish I had opted for the Uniden PRO520XL with the PA feature. Update: After using the CB for nearly a year, haven't had any issues at all. It works very well. Depending on which antenna I'm using (either 3' or 4') I can receive traffic out as far as 10 miles on a good day. Transmit is good, but not sure how far as most of the time I'm within sight of who I talk to, or don't have a way to know. I like monitoring CB truck traffic on the interstate. I've found it useful during Jeep trail events. It's well worth the extra $17 to get the bracket to mount the radio above the rear view mirror. It's a simple unit, but quality to price ration is outstanding at $40.

Este utimo pedido da mucho que desear por que he esperado y ya se cobro en la tarjeta de debito su retraso de envio me deja que le falta seriedad para seguir haciendo compras en el futuro

This is my second Uniden Pro510XL. The first one I had for 16 years, the radio itself still works fine, just the mic gave out. Unfortunately, the replacement mic is almost as much as a complete new radio, which is why I bought another one. These things are tough and gets the job done. The replies I get from truckers always say I am loud and clear. Great radio for day to day use without all the bells and whistles and would definitely buy another, when the time comes

Muy bueno sirve muy bien para radio aficionados

It's a fabulous radio for the money. Make sure you have a very good ground connection to your antenae and you will really like this little gem. On the day I hooked this up, I picked up skip on Channel 6 from the US Gulf Coast up here in Central Ontario. Very happy.

Equipos Básicos pero muy buenos no son para exigentes solo es AM, son equipos ideales para trabajo en taxis u otros proyectos de comunicación.

Works as they should.
