Its compact, simple basic 40 ch CB. I wouldn't be surprised if it is fundamentally the same CB Uniden has produced for over 10 yrs that has had a superb track record of good audio, good reliability and reasonable range. A price tag that won't break the bank nor is there eye wash or frills yet solid. Not much bigger that two boxes of stick matches, won't take up much space and it has a good clean appearance. I'll be inclined to buy three more for all my vehicles.

This is a good basic 40 channel CB radio. It has good modulation and good power at a very decent price. A bonus for me, is that it is small and compact. This was important since I installed it in my Tacoma pick-up truck, which has surprisingly little room to mount anything.

Uniden makes very good quality radios and the 505XL does not disappoint in any way. Very good dynamic microphone, very clear sound & good output transmit power. Best of all I really like the small size, fits in any car or truck or boat for that matter. The only feature that is missing is the NB or noise blanker, which can be found on other models.

Small takes up little space and easy to operate. Make sure you purchase separately a 12v cig lighter plug if you are using in a vehicle as the cb doesnt come with one.

I'm a firm believer in putting the bulk of your cb money into your antenna. This radio puts out the legal 4 watts. For under $40 you can't beat the cost. I have this radio feeding a Tram WSP Penetrator on a Tram magnetic base those 4 watts and Reports are the mic sounds just fine. If you are dealing with a small space for a cb radio this little unit is your answer. It's basic so don't expect a mic gain or power gain or even a noise limiter. You might want to hook up an external speaker but I do that even with more expensive radios anyway. Buy this radio. Ya can't lose.
