Don’t judge a radio by its size. This one works just as well as my buddies Cobra. Paired with a good tuned antenna, this radio will get the job done.

nice to have incase of a emergency

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.

After reading some of the great reviews I figured I cant go wrong with this one and the other reviews were correct, this thing is perfect. Please dont misunderstand and start with all types of comments about this being a basic radio and it doesnt 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 its not even mounted, it sits loose between the seat & console rattling around a bit now and again so I dont 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.

Hooked up to a magnetic antenna on my truck and wired up a cigarette plug in. Works great.

These are pretty much the best radios you can buy. They are compact and can be fit between the seats. Have a Wilson 2000 on mine and pick up all around the country and can hear truckers from 10 miles away

This is a good, compact, sturdy radio. Got this for my new jeep after running Cobra 75s in my others for several years. Theres nothing wrong with the Cobras, I have a glowing review on here of them too I think. This time though space wasnt as big of a concern and I just dont use the extra features that much. Its still super-compact and fits nicely in a lot of nooks. Mine ended up above the rear-view mirror.

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 XLs built-in speaker fires down at us passengers... it is plenty loud enough for me in my diesel pickup and I dont 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.

I needed a CB radio in my work truck for yard communication, so I went with this. Ive been a truck driver for 24 years, so of course I have a big radio that has been modded, but those require fiddling to get them to work correctly. Now that Im doing local work, I just dont have time to mess around with it. This radio, with an 18 foot coax cable, and a basic Francis fiberglass whip antenna is simple, cheap, and works every time. No hassle at all.

I needed a small CB radio for my truck i have manual transmission a 5 speed i also have a ham radio a Alinco 220 radio i needed a small radio to go next to my 220 this one fit perfect more than satisfactory for my needs i will include a picture of my setup soon
