Uniden PRO505XL Compact CB Radio Product Review by CB World

[@dougjones4007]

I just ordered one! Thank you for the help!

[@googlinstuff8910]

this wasn't a review at all. It just listed the features.

[@clockwork421]

Homeboy, isn't that what a review is?

[@kidynamitjr1326]

Do you need an antenna for it to work

[@wearecb]

Yes, any device that broadcasts needs an antenna.

[@togetunthemood43]

so this unit has a built in speaker?

[@slowtaknow]

Good little radio, get a decent antenna. It makes a difference. K30 or little bill

[@kidynamitjr1326]

Will it work without an antenna?

[@slowtaknow]

@@kidynamitjr1326 in short, no

[@ERICtheLATE]

If it only could scan the 40 channels. The rf output meter is a rough swr meter, if any of 4 bar segments are not lit, it has an over 3:1 swr, and then there is a trick to see if the antenna is too long, or too short.

[@DannerPlace]

Why not tell us about the loudspeaker? It's made to reproduce audio, after all.

[@darkhood09-evansevans33]

Can this radio connect to a boafeng bf888s

[@thorntonater]

so I've got 4 holes in each side. the threads on the plastic knobs don't seem to match the threads in the radio. do I use the other screws to mount to bracket?

[@wearecb]

Thank you for your question! The hole furthest to the back of the radio on each side are the holes you will use to attach the bracket using the plastic knobs. The other holes are for if you want to mount the mic/mic clip on the side of the radio. We hope that helps!

I just installed this radio and I installed my antenna but I am only getting two bars. and my antenna is 300 watts. so what am I doin wrong

[@wearecb]

The FCC prohibits advertising over CB. We would not recommend this form of advertising.

[@rypdx]

@@wearecb I don’t think the FCC cares , I always hear people advertising something over the air lol 😂

[@brysoncoyne9480]

Can someone point me in the right direction for antenna cable?

[@gabbyrojas4737]

how can u install it in a house

[@502deth]

just install it in your car and drive into your home. for best reception, i recommend parking it on the roof.

[@ERICtheLATE]

@James Babcock Just a side note-Jumppacks commonly have a cigarette lighter type power port, and will power a legal cb for a long time, several hours, just do not use radio while it is charging...the charging circuit make tons of rf noise in the reciever of the radio, do not forget an antenna.

[@kennyscheer3195]

yo how far will this radio get to I live around LA area

[@tylerpearce2000]

Kenster Scheer i think it depends on the antenna tbh im not expert but i think no more than 2 miles (i can be completely wrong)

[@502deth]

depends on the seller. most will ship worldwide.

[@IncredulousIndividual]

would this be good for a starter in my bedroom (already have antenna)

I take it there's no DXing with this bad boy. lol I have one of these with a 300W max K30 magnet mount antenna. I have a high power mic on the way, but somehow I think that I won't be able to DX without an SSB option.
