Uniden PRO520XL CB Radio's ARE GREAT!!!
Size: One Size
I've owned about 5 of these things and I always leave them in the truck I'm selling. So, I've had my current truck awhile but I'm installing these PRO520XL in it this coming weekend. Only complaint is, for it's compact size, which allows all kinds of places to install it in, I know there's room inside the unit itself to add Weather Channels (NOAA) I'm sticking with this radio because of the price #1...#2 it's always performed as advertised with no problems at all. Transmitting distance, with a CB Radio, ANY CB Radio depends on a multitude of things like, mountains, windy roads, elevation ("skip" is fun when you're on the top of an especially big/tall mountain, especially when it's the flat desert for hundred's+ of miles on the other side...Talked to MANY MANY folks from all over the SE, East, NE and I especially like "conversing" the Louisiana/Georgia area States. Man, those guys have accents that just won't quit and especially unique stories to tell...Like a different world over there and I want to visit it before I'm dead and gone and you just gotta love it! Thanks Uniden for keeping me posted while driving, and at home too! And, almost around the world. I started CB'n back in my late teens (16 once I got a license to drive...) and because I've used my CB in many occasons o an emergency, for usually less than $100, you can fire a CB up in your vehicle, talk to the truckers on your trip and just have peace of mind. You might think you're OK with just your cell phone...Uhmmmmm, ever been driving in areas where there is no cell signal, basically a NO CELL ZONE??? I rescued a family of 5 in a NO CELL ZONE in the mountains at 11pm. Car just stopped and it was about 40 degrees outside. Parents had 3 kids ranging from 7-12. Couldn't use my Verizon Cell so I fired up my Uniden PRO520XL and after a few minutes, I finally picked up a guy who lived in Georgia. The State of GEORGIA! I was just outside of Bend, OR, just a couple THOUSAND miles away rom the guy who answered my "May Day" Call...GEORGIA!!! Had a good clear signal so he took my info of where we were, approx. how many miles we were up on a specific mountain road and gave him my cell number too. What he did was call the local Bend, OR sheriffs' office, about 30 miles away from where "The Family" and we were. The police then relayed the message to a AAA towing company located in Bend, and within a little over an hour, up the road a AAA Towing Truck finally came! Family Saved!...We were there for about 2+ hours total, but it was great to be able to help this family. Literally, the "Dad" told me he was going to go buy a CB for his SUV and one for his motor home too as soon as he gets back home to Portland. Not only are CB's great in emergency's like this (Cheap insurance against a possible tragedy...) they're fun too. I also use mine when caravanning with a few of my friends who have CB's while driving together on our way to a camping or fishing destination. Easily coordinate Pee breaks! And, they're just plain fun, convenient too and you get quality at an affordable cost. PLUS, they're very very easy to install! Ken J. Nehalem, OR.

This is a great little (and inexpensive) radio
Size: One Size
This is a great little (and inexpensive) radio. I have a much older pro 500 model that still works. That radio has been in an old jeep, mounted on a 4 wheeler, laying on the floor of a truck (temp install), and sitting on a shelf in an outside storage room (humid climate) for years. It's at least 20 years old... and it's still working. I made the mistake of letting someone open it up to "peak" it probably 15 years ago. It still works, but I think it did more harm than good. I recently hooked it up again. Receive was GREAT, but transmit wasn't so great (I'm blaming the "peak" job for that). It did transmit, but it wasn't very clear. I bet if it had never been hacked, it would be working perfectly. That's the main reason I decided to buy a similar model. I was originally shopping for a bigger, fancier radio, but decided the price of this was a no-brainer. And it's really all I need. I spend about an hour a day on the road and mainly listen in for traffic reports and "bear" sightings. I connected it to a Wilson "Little Wil" and had a good SWR reading right away. Just like the old radio, the receive is great (and the speaker is nice and loud). I tested the stock mic, an old RK56, and a new Astatic Road Devil. The stock mic actually sounded the best. The RK56 was much quieter and sounded muffled (although it always worked great on a Cobra 29). The Road Devil was a bit louder, but lacked the clarity of the Uniden mic (but only slightly/not enough to matter). I personally don't like the small size of the stock mic, so I'm using the Road Devil for now. I hooked up the old radio (pro 500) to an AC adapter inside my garage and connected an old magnetic antenna to it. I let my kids talk to me on that radio as I drove a couple miles away. Even with that much less than ideal setup, the old radio was receiving my new 520xl loud and clear at 2 miles. Hopefully, this one will last as long as the old one.

It's fine for my purposes.
Size: One Size
This is my first CB radio. Beforehand, I had absolutely no experience with them. I bought this one because it was inexpensive and had favorable reviews. I decided to buy a CB for traffic and emergency purposes, so I don't use it regularly. I drive a hatchback subcompact car, not a pickup truck with a high suspension or mud tires; therefore, I don't plan to take this CB off-road or in densely-wooded areas. So far, no huge surprises or disappointments. It comes with a simple mounting bracket, a clip for your microphone, a few screws, and a power cable. The power cable was only about 3 feet long: not long enough to actually reach my car battery. Whatever. I spliced in some wire I already had, and added two alligator clips so I could hard-wire the radio to the battery and disconnect it quickly if need be. As mentioned earlier, I drive a small car, which isn't conducive to mounting CB radios. I ended up mounting it under my glovebox. The included screws were not nearly long enough for my purposes. They were supposedly self-tapping, which means you can physicall drill the screw into the mounting surface of your choice and they should stay put. Not the case for me. They fell right out after a small tug. Whatever. I instead used machine bolts I already had with nuts and washers. The instruction manual was easy to read, but not very in-depth regarding how to mount the CB. Whatever. I'm not a stupid person, and I figured it out. The manual was just fine in explaining how to operate the radio. For my purposes, it is loud enough, and I don't need an external speaker. But again, I don't drive a semi or a monster truck. If your vehicle is louder than mine, you may need a speaker. Out of curiosity, I plugged it into my car's auxiliary jack. I didn't notice any improvement in volume or sound quality. Whatever. It sounds just fine to me by itself. I am able to transmit and receive signals, but rarely. Most of the time I just hear static, noise, and garbled transmissions. When I turn up the squelch control to filter out noises, I rarely hear anything at all. I'm assuming this is either because I'm not near any CB owners or my antenna isn't good enough. The analog switch works in improving the sound quality of incoming transmissions. I use this CB with a 3-foot Firestick antenna mounted on a Firestik heavy-duty spring and a Firestik magnet mount.

Very Happy With Uniden Pro520XL
Size: One Size
I installed it today and it works great. SWR on channel 20 is 1.2, very nice. I don't know how far I am pulling in but my power meter shows 4 watts going out, very satisfied. The ANR works very nicely, although I wired it directly so I shouldn't be pulling any "dirty" power through it. Not sure how mic is because I haven't used it yet. Very compact but quite hefty, very pleased that it doesn't feel like a plastic "toy". I bought the Uniden Bearcat external speaker and it is loud and clear. I don't know about the internal speaker because I installed it in my dash. Items used in conjunction with this cb is as follows: Uniden Bearcat External Speaker, Astatic SWR/Power/Field Strength Meter, 18' Firestik Cable, 5' Firestik II Antenna (black). *EDIT February 4th 2013* I had a request to add some pictures today, so after I added them I figured I would go ahead and post an update since I have had this almost a year. I am still very satisfied with this CB. I have had no issues with it at all, and still pick up people loud and clear. I will say that if someone is serious about using it all the time I would invest in a better MIC though, this one is a bit lacking, and it feels "chincy", but for me it works well enough. I bought this mostly for when I travel 8 hours to visit my parents. Listening to truckers yammer on the highway is more entertaining at times than any radio station. There is no static from the knobs while turning between stations, nor any "pops", it is very quiet. It picks up quick enough to where you can "roll through" the channels and it will still send out the audio when someone is on the channel. All in all, if I could do it over I would still pick this unit, I like the size, the lack of chrome, and the simplicity.

I must live in fantasy land or something.
Size: One Size
I purchased the PRO520XL and couldn't be more upset about a purchase. I shopped this radio entirely on Amazon reviews. I read all these great things about this radio that and thought I was going to have a solid purchase. Not so much. Joke's on me I guess. No really, this Cb got in my Wrangler, buckled up and started pointing and laughing at me as we drove down the road. The little sucker just kept peeling my skin, layer by layer like an onion. This thing owned me inside of 5 minutes. Lets start off by saying I have two other radios currently installed and working like champs. A Midland MXT275 and a TYT TH 9800. The fun stops right there though. This Uniden sounds like they purposefully turned down the volume to force you into buying a speaker setup. Really, the audio is simply terrible. Not that it matters because it could be the loudest radio in the world buy you would never be able to hear anything on it simply because there is the most horrendous acceleration static. No, not the kind that can me mitigated. I've tried everything to filter out, mask or otherwise get rid of the static but it remains, ever vigilant and ever spiteful. It powered directly to the battery. The unit is grounded directly to the frame with a copper grounding strap, the cable to the antenna is 18 feet with no curves or bends the swr is very well mitigated, added an antenna interference suppressor, a power source suppressor, heck I've even tried a bit of witchcraft to get this thing to operate in an acceptable manner. It simply can't. Its dollar store junk. I cannot recommend this doorstop. Trust me, you buy this and you will suffer the same fate as I.

Buy it...been doing CBs for 35 years...this little one is a gooder.
Size: One Size
Seriously great little CB...with some bigger CB functions. LIKES: - Small/compact. I use this in the center console of my '14 Silverado. Works great! - RF gain control. Didn't think I would use/need this...boy was I wrong. In a noisy washed out environment...comes in handy - No beep-beep-beep crap unlike the big Uniden I have. No sounds when switching between channels or pushing buttons - PA output and switch. Absolute kickass fun scaring dogs, deer, cats, kids, or broadcasting something funny with a horn speaker - Microphone. Looks cheap and flimsy. DON'T go out and replace it. This mic is really good and works well. I had a noise canx mic...this one works better. - Speaker output - I USE THE MOST. Go get you a small high quality CB ext speaker at a truck stop...and plug it in. DISLIKES - Might be "too compact" for folks with big fingers. - Old school LED display is hard to see in the daylight...excellent at night tho. - Speaker power out could be a bit better with some type of tone control - Wx function would have been nice OVERALL - Tuned VSR to 1:1 with my Firestik antenna on my pickup. Used high quality coax. CB system is 100% good. Talk is strong, Rx is excellent. Lots of good stuff in such a small package. Buy it.
