Uniden PRO501HH Pro-Series 40-Channel Portable Handheld CB Radio/Emergency/Travel Radio, Large LCD Display, High/Low Power Saver, 4-Watts, Auto Noise Limiter, NOAA Weather, and Earphone Jack

It does not stay on once you take it off charge It sucks!!

I purchased this kit to have back up communications in case of a breakdown on an upcoming cross country trip. Having to buy nine rechargeable AA batteries was slightly annoying, but with the included cigarette lighter plug adapter you don’t have to buy the batteries at all. It seems quite rugged and the addition of an external antenna definitely helps the range.

Initially i was buying a different unit but i got screwed by amazon on the delivery, i picked these only because they were in stock. I got them this morning, installed batteries and antenna and my wife and i were talking without any issues me being several hundred yards away on our property and her in the house. I was able to call my buddy on his base unit 2 miles (straight line) away and again clear as day. Im impressed because there is no line of sight as we live literally in the woods, and have a metal roof so for a handheld at a decent price these are very good units.

Complete garbage,does not receive anything

Bought as a portable for work truck. Works great. Good clear sound quality.

Antenna and corresponding cabling were in good condition when they arrived and were tested, as for the handheld radio, attached images suffice to describe. Q.C. skipped a beat. Uniden radios as a whole are great, but I seemed to be one of the unlucky few.

Got it today, box wasnt sealed, no tape, nothing. Looked just like you pulled it from a retail shelf and slapped a label on it. Plus, its dead, put in new batteries, even tried the cigarette lighter cord. Nothing. Dead as a freaking doornail.

Easy to use

Works great. It is only an emergency backup for when not in the vehicle

I live less than one mile from a main US interstate and even with the long range antenna on my roof….. I got crappy reception and static. I tried multiple stations and multiple squelch settings. I even tried to broadcast several radio checks to see if anyone heard my call. Nothing….. now I know a lot of people use cell phones these days but some still use CB radios…. Like trucker’s. I haven’t given up yet, this summer me and some friends are going on a trip and I will see if they can receive me.
