Definitely a CB. Depending on the model, I may try for it as well.

I'm going to pull the handheld out of my jeep. If you want that model you can have it. If you're looking for a compact standard unit, consider the 510 because it has 7 watts of power rather than the 4 that most units have. I found a 510 on e-bay for $32, including shipping (new), so 4WD is going to be hard pressed to beat that price. The 190 model is only 4 watts...

Offline Whoa! Did you know that 4-wheel parts is also doing 12 crazy days deals?
Their deal is effective based on PST (noon is the "buy time" here, rather than 9AM on the 4WD deals). And their deals are sometimes the same and sometimes different from 4WD.

Are you sure? My understanding is CB has a legal limit of 4 watts. I do prefer my 510 to my old Cobra 75wxst though.
Edit) Uniden's website lists the transmission wattage at 4 watts. Check the specs page here - http://www.uniden.com/cb-radios/40-chan ... pro510xlg/

Hey Brad,
What CBs are those exactly? I just don't know those model numbers.
Can you/anyone provide any input on this CB (good/bad/etc.)?

Offline The uniden pro510 on Quadrateck's site is 7 watts. It is stated in the catalog and confirmed via phone call to them. If the 510 on e-bay is not 7 watts, I'll pay $59 to get the quadrateck version, or pay the Texas shop $30 to juice mine, just like the radio that went with my yellow jeep. With a 4' antenna I could speak with Lee from just past granite bowl to the springs.
I'll take the additional power for sure. My black jeep's radio is pathetic...

I checked the Quadratec site. The 510 has 7 watts audio output, ie. how loud the speaker gets. It doesn't transmit at 7 watts.

Thanks for saving me $59 Fred. I don't care about the audio output. I have an external speaker ready to go in with the unit. I asked the Texas shop if they can Juice a radio I buy from them. We'll see what they say. My last juiced CB came from Nevada, and cost $29 for the upgrade.

send me your radio and i will tweak it for $20 plus whatever
it cost to ship it back to you. Average return wattage is 20-25 watts.
What’s the difference between a Pro510XL and a Pro520XL? I found a new, tweaked 520 for $65.

That sounds like a pretty good deal on the tweaked 520. There's not a whole lot of difference between the 510 and 520. Here's Uniden's CB page so you can read about the differences. http://www.uniden.com/cb-radio.....adios_b2c/
Is that price you found a one-of-a-kind deal or is someone selling a bunch of them?

:hijack:
Assuming that a 4W radio has an effective range of ~5 miles (good wave propagation, Line of Site and no background noise), increasing output to 20W would, in theory, give an effective range of ~11 miles ... it's logarithmic.
In reality, I doubt a manufacturer is going to so overbuild radio components to allow for a 500% increase in power. The operating temperatures (watts=heat) would create issues.
What tuning does is to clean up the output signals making for better communication with the low power signal.

4-wheel Parts has the hi-lift for 25 today, and what looks like off road lights tomorrow.
Where I blew it was I could have had a gift card from both sites, but I missed 4-wheel parts by one day!!!!

Offline Can someone use my strategy and try to win me the 4WD items today? They are only $40 and I'll pay you if you can win them. I need the fire extinguisher holder that is in the set. I won't be on a computer until noon, which wil lbe too late.
Thanks!!!
