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

I have purchased dozens of these radios for employees and for personal use. It is the single best value in CB radios I have found after having tried every brand on the market. In the niche market of compact CB radios it is without equal. It is far more durable and long lasting then the similar sized Cobra, Midland or off brand radios. What is amazing is that Amazon sells it at an amazingly competitive price. Expect to pay $55 at a truck stop for one of these. Avoid the cheaper Uniden radio which was a marketing tactic to compete with lesser radios. Also the 520XL in only an upgrade in that you have RF gain control; which isnt a necessary feature. If you want to spend more money to get weather stations or mic gains there are many other products to choose from. But if you want a reliable 40 channel CB radio that broadcasts well and receives well this is the radio for you. It is is rated at the same output power as any full size radios, but is small enough to be mounted in tighter locations. I have used these for years and can not overstate that they are the best price point in the market. Pair it with a Little Wil antenna for the best possible results and buy a road pro 12v adapter plug to be able to plug it into your 12v power adapter. Avoid cheaper plugs that handle less power and fail to indicate which lead is positive and negative.

Compact small size makes it easy to find a spot out of the way to put it. Works great.

Easy to install since has plenty long electrical cord. Controls (vol, squelch, channel) just like units ive used before. Still lots of trucker info available

Easy to install

It is Okay but I thought it cane with a cigarette plug in for the truck and it does not. I am searching for one so I can wire it up and plug in.

Hey, its cheap (price wise), it works and its 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 Im bumping around. Ill switch to the particular haul roads cb channel thats painted on a tree at the entrance to the road and will let whoevers listening know what forest road Im on, what direction Im heading, what Im driving and what marker Im at. Those who are running that road will usually get back to me and Ill call out the markers as I head their direction. I can hear them calling their markers out as they head towards me if were on the same road. Either way, its 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 theres one more thats a bit pricier that has the scan option for $20-$30 more. Id have bought if I didnt buy this one. This ones cheap in price but so far its doing the job. The speakers a bit challenging for me (hearing impaired, go figure) but I can still figure out whats being said. Its 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 stores parking lot. When I came back outside my FireStick antenna was gone. So, right now Im running around with a little magnetic mount on the roof. It works but its no FireStick. I gave it 5 stars because its better than my old one that I paid double this price for when I bought it. That one was borrowed and never returned.

Bought this radio to set it up in a work van. Adjusted modulation and while the radio sounds great with the stock mic it would not work with any of the power or echo mics I have. they changed the board in the radio , While a great radio for the price and good to have spare. Not the big talker it used to be.4 Stars you cant beat the price..,.conect a ciggarette adapter to it and keep a spare antenna like a mag mount and slap on any vehicle or a friends car for a road trip.

Good basic CB.. Push the button, talk, people far away hear you. Release button and shut up, you can hear far away people talk to you.

In the description it clearly says the 510 has a pa function. Once I received the CB I couldn’t figure out how to use the pa function so I did some research, turns out the 510 doesn’t have a pa function even though amazon’s description says it does. Fix this, I’m considering a refund if anything else on this 510 doesn’t meet my standards

Very sweet entry level radio. Small, really tough, very well built, smooth, clean. Audio output on this thing is clear and MSSIVE. Full volume it almost hurts on the hears, but what else you could expect from a radio designed to operate in quarries? If you want to start in CB, GET THIS. Or the 520XL pro wich I also own, and is this same guy with a couple of additional features.
