## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is frequency output range?what is the wattage?**
A: This is a standard U.S. channelized CB radio. The frequency range is 26.965 to 27.405 MHz and the output wattage is limited at 4 watts EIRP which is the legal limit for the band. Output range depends on location geography, feed line and antenna matching, and atmospheric conditions. CB can carry over great distances during periods of high solar activity.

**Q: Do i need to buy and antenna for this? Or does it come with one?**
A: Looking for a hand held for trail use only for group off roading 4x4.  Without purchasing a new antenna is my trail range 100-200 yards?

**Q: Does the radio have a 12v plug or does it need to be wired up?**
A: And no there is no 12v plug or anything. Just has a positive and negative for wiring to your power supply of your choosing. And yes to needing to be wired up which is easier than you think.

**Q: Could a few of these be used for a small taxi business? We would be servicing a 10-mile radius.**
A: 10 miles might be pushing it, but most of it will depend on the type of antenna and where you locate it on the vehicle. I wouldn't recommend any antenna for what you need that is less than 4 feet tall and you should try to get that as high as possible on the vehicle. However, you may not be able to reliably reach one another on a consistent basis. Unfortunately due to the access to CB radios, you may experience a lot of congestion and could potentially spend a lot of times just trying to find a clear frequency away from other crazies out there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice but not enough reach
*by D***R on December 7, 2023*

UNIDEN PRO505XL BEARCAT CB RADIO PROS: 1) Both the volume and squelch knobs work. 2) The mic is a standard mic connection. When will they go wireless on mics? 3) The signal and sound are loud and clear up to 2.5 miles with an non-tuned antenna. CONS: 1) The size is a bit larger (deeper) than what my available space will allow. 2) The power leads are terminated with bare wire instead of a plug to allow easy power connection to the cigarette lighter power port with a similarly modified cigarette power plug adapter. Some additional hardware and modification is needed to prepare the power leads to get this radio up and running if you only want to power through the cigarette lighter port. 3) The instructions indicate that a schedule must be established to measure and adjust the SWR antenna value and this seems overly complicated. I never had to gauge and adjust SWR on my cb radios decades ago and my radios were not harmed by not adjusting the SWR. 4) The reach of this radio was tested by me to be less than 3 miles in a flat stretch of highway. I drove to a truck stop and made contact with a truck driver who agreed to communicate with me as I drove away on a flat road to see how far the radio would reach. At 2 miles the signal was loud and clear. As I approached 3 miles static began to rise and at 3 miles the signal was lost. Again, this was using a non-tuned cobra antenna. SUGGESTIONS TO UNIDEN 1) Power lead: Replace the built in/hardwired power lead coming out of the back with a power port. Offer two power up options. Option 1 would bundle a power adapter that can be simply plugged into the back of the radio and then plugged into the cigarette lighter port. Option 2 would bundle a power lead that can be simply plugged into the back of the radio and then strung to the fuse box and/or battery. Buyer's choice. I would say that most people wanting a radio of this grade will want to plug into the cigarette lighter. Make it simple and quick to get this radio up and running. Replacing the hardwired lead out of the back with a plug will also make stowing the radio much more convenient. 2) Clarify the need to constantly be testing the SWR. Is this going to harm the radio if it isn't done? What type of harm will it do? As an option, offer the radio with an magnetic base-loaded antenna that can be easily adjusted to meet the SWR 1:1 requirement.
