Uniden PRO538W Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio

- Excellent CB Radio
When you factor in the price of this radio here on Amazon along with the quality that Uniden radios offer, this deal is tough to be beat. It offers three weather channels, the PA function (can be quite entertaining!) as well as the standard cb functionality. I have the radio mounted in my Jeep Rubicon for use off road primarily, but it has uses on road as well.

- Not small unit but well worth the little price
I just got this for use while trailriding in my Jeep.Coupled with my Wilson 1000 antenna the Uniden works just fine.I was told it's an inexpensive unit for those not needing much and I agree.

Just keep in mind that it almost as large as the ones you see in big rigs (thanks to the forward speaker) so don't plan on tucking away it in some tiny nook or cranny.

- not what I expected
Not as good as my old radio shack model which is 10 years old. This unit isn't as strong on receiving,even with a new antenna.It also picked up ignition noise.The squelch had to be set to low noise just to get any reception at all. The weather alert was also weak. I sent it back and am using the old radio shack model.

- One of the best CB radios out there!
I searched and reviewed a dozen different CB radios before selecting this one.It has everything I need and is definitely within my budget.The front facing speaker is excellent for projecting sound and since it faces front you won't get it muffled by the way it is mounted.It has a push button for channel 9 and of course a PA/CB/Weather selector switch.It has 3 weather channels available and on my cross country trip from the East coast to the West coast I almost always had a weather channel available.I have a magnetic mount antenna (Lil something) which I also bought from Amazon and it rocks with this radio.For the cost and features this is one of the best (if not THE best) CB radio available.You can't go wrong with this one!

- Very nice CB radio with features and convenience for the money
I received this before the weekend, and was able to install it over the weekend. I had tough time finding a spot in my New Beetle but I am glad that I was able to mounted without taking up too much space. I mounted it next and right below the headlight switch and it is pretty convenience location for it. I can reach all the controls without looking down on the unit. I used Firestik FW 3' antenna with it, and it gets very good signal. Nice thing about the unit is the front firing speaker and the weather channels - it sounds very crisp and clear.

Now one Con: size, it is fairly large like a DIN radio, so plan your space on your dashboard accordingly.
