  • This is an EXCELLENT radio.
Style: PRO505XL 40-Channel CB Radio
I was looking for an inexpensive Compact CB that i could throw in my car when i was taking long trips on vacations etc. I am extremely pleased with its performance and the overall quality. For the cost of a bag of groceries i own a really nice compact CB tha i can transmit and receive with for miles. A very solid and dependable radio. Is it the best? I don’t know, but it is really hard to beat at this price. I trust it and would buy another if it came to it, but i don’t think it will anytime soon. ✌🏼 ... show more

  • Excellent Starter-to-Intermediate CB Radio
Style: PRO505XL 40-Channel CB Radio
I bought the Pro505XL in December 2016. It's a nice, compact unit with some decent features. It does NOT have a built-in SWR meter. Saw a couple of reviews where people said that, but it isn't true. It has a signal-strength meter, those bars on the left side of the display, but that's not a SWR meter. Some advice on this radio. First, get a real good antenna for it. I mean a LONG one, high quality. Second, get an external speaker for it and hook that up, rather than using the built-in speaker. Sound will be much better. And yeah...the good old bullhorn speaker under the hood of your vehicle up near the front grille of your vehicle is always fun. I like the silent controls on this one, too. No click-click-click stuff when changing channels. Since the radio is rated at the legal 4 watt limit, your antenna is EVERYTHING. Go for big, go bold, or don't go at all. If you decide later to upgrade to a CB with more functions or something, you won't be sorry. Besides, who wants a cheap antenna that doesn't get out very far, anyway? I mounted this one on the top of the dash in my (restored) 1987 Nissan Hardbody truck. I attached the mounting bracket and then used velcro strips on the bracket, and on the dashboard. Makes it easy to disconnect and store if you want to. Stick it IN the truck, rip it out if you wish. Doing this also keeps the bottom-mounted speaker UP off the dash, so you can hear it. But like I said, an external speaker really is better. And no matter what you do...make sure you take the time and patience to get that antenna matched properly. You want an average of 1.2 or less on your SWR meter on all channels. (That will give you 95% of your potential output. 1.0 is the ideal, and gives you 100%) There are many good videos on YouTube on how to match a CB antenna. A single millimeter difference in the proper length can be the difference between getting out long range, or only a couple of miles. And if your SWR reading goes much above 2.0, not only will your signal not reach far, but you can easily fry your radio. ... show more

  • A Good Starter CB Radio!
Style: PRO505XL 40-Channel CB Radio
Since owning this CB, I’ve transferred it to two different vehicles and loved having it in both! It doesn’t have a ton of features but with a decent antenna and a little knowledge you can make this a nice unit to transmit and receive CB with! I love the PA function that it has too as you can buy a cheap $10-$15 PA horn and now you have a budget friendly PA system too! It has a nice bright display so you can see what channel you’re on as well as a pseudo frequency meter! I love that you can easily switch from CB to PA and changing volume and squelch is easy with the two side knobs. I also like that there’s a Channel 9 button you can use for the “emergency” channel and the up and down buttons make it easy to change channels on the fly! Surely a nice unit for the money! ... show more

  • Best CB radio for the money!
Style: PRO505XL 40-Channel CB Radio
Love this CB radio! It’s easy to install, has a PA feature if you have an external speaker running to it, has great reception (and I’m just piggy-backing off of the factory radio antenna), looks great, and isn’t massively sized which is great if you’re running low on extra space. Definitely recommend this radio to anyone who is always on the road or happens to be off-road from time to time. ... show more

  • Not bad for a temporary trip rig, but less sensitive than others
Style: PRO505XL 40-Channel CB Radio
Got this for a temporary trip rig. Its very easy to install, and uninstall when you just want it for a road trip, but not everyday. It worked well. Nice volume level with the internal speaker. Its simple, just two knobs--volume and squelch and up or down buttons to change channels. Its also loud and clear when transmitting using the provided microphone. Only criticism is that the squelch level has to be set just above the noise. If you set it higher it will block even nearby transmissions. This means that you sometimes get just noise breaking the squelch depending on certain areas. Otherwise, not a bad radio at the price. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. This little radio has great sound quality it gets the job done sure it’s not the nicest thing.
