4Great Starter or Back-Up !!!Mar 29, 2004
By Robert S. Miller
I am partial to Uniden anyway, however this CB is great for a first time user or as a back up to a more expensive unit. I have been using CB for about 10 years and I always make sure I have a Uniden 510 available for a back up, or use it in a second car. It has superior range when used with a good antenna and the received audio is decent. I would suggest using an external speaker unless you have a super quiet vehicle. The anl switch cuts through static really well to improve reception, although it sometimes dulls out the audio of the person you are trying to hear. You can use it with a cigarette lighter plug with an adapter from radio shack for a few dollars. They will even show you how to hook it up. It all boils down to being a great CB at a great price. Remember a simple rule of thumb... An inexpensive CB on a good antenna will perform just as well as a high-end CB on a cheap antenna. Don't forget to tune your antenna and have fun!

5Recommended to me by Friends and colleaguesFeb 19, 2010
By HotRods4Ever
Some off-roading friends of mine recommended, as a first time CB user, for me to buy this Uniden along with a good antenna. They were right, it is a spectacular radio and it appears the price on Amazon was the best around. They use 510 XLs for off-roading with ± a mile or so between them on the trails.

Fresh out of the box, the quality of this Uniden is clear - clean, solid metal construction with robust knobs and cable connections. Bright LEDs on-screen, good squelch control, and clear led level indications as well. On the back, there is a connector for the antenna, red/black for power (with in-line fuseholder and fuse) and then an extra port for a Uniden external speaker. I would recommend the speaker for folks who mount the CB down low. I have mine mounted overhead so the 510 XL's built-in speaker fires down at us passengers... it is plenty loud enough for me in my diesel pickup and I don't even have to turn it up half way. But if you have yours mounted down low, the carpet may absorb the sound which makes the external speaker worthwhile - and they are not expensive at all.

I plugged in the Uniden Pro 510XL unit in with a Wilson 1000 Mag mount base loaded antenna. The antenna is on my crew cab pickup roof, which makes for an excellent ground plane. Out of the box, I was up and running the first day I hooked it up. I could hear some conversations quite clearly, seemingly better than a clear telephone conversation. Of course, there is always chatter and conversations in-between folks talking if you are monitoring busy channels.

Like any CB unit, the antenna (or antennas) makes all the difference. Most cars and pickups with an available flat mounting surface (trunk lid or roof) would do well with a Wilson brand antenna, other cars requiring side mount might accept a full whip well. Either way, get a good quality antenna and have a friend with an SWR meter help you tune it to maximize performance and avoid burning up your radio. I did not burn up my radio the first time without tuning, but with tuning I was able to bring the antenna right into the perfect safe SWR range.

This is a highly recommended unit if you are just getting into CB, especially if you do not need all of the features of more expensive or complex units. The Pro 510 XL just gets the job done and does it well. Its a Rock Solid CB radio.

5Great basic CB with a loud internal speakerNov 15, 2007
By J. Standley
I have two of these and they've taken a beating for 4 years. One has been in my Jeep CJ-7 that is mostly driven offroad. The Jeep shakes, rattles (haven't rolled it yet) and the CB works like new. The speaker is also very loud which is nice when the top of the Jeep is off. The other CB is in a work pickup and has been flawless as well, it's mounted on a flimsy ash tray that causes it to vibrate all the time (which can't be good for it).

Just make sure to tune your antenna with a meter otherwise you pose the chance of ruining the CB.

5Uniden PRO510XL CB Another Satisfied Jeep OwnerMar 27, 2007
By Richard Lesley "Richard Lesley"
Just got this radio for my jeep for those off road trips and no complaints yet. Its been rained on and jarred around something fierce and it keeps on ticking. Had a cobra cb and it just couldn't handle the abuse. So for the price and durability this is definitely the way to go if you need a CB.

5Uniden pro510xl in YJApr 07, 2008
By F. E. Andrews
Excellent CB for the money. I installed it in my Wrangler, behind the tuffy console. I mated it with a tunable Firestik firefly on the front bumper. SWR around 1.5. Works great.
