There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

Went north to my camp site.... way up North. Transmitting and reception while traveling was 5 by 5!
