"Let me start out by saying that my knowledge of CB's is extremely limited and Everything I've learned, is from reading as much as I can in these last 3 months. Lastly, I mounted an external speaker above my head and ran a long 3.5mm audio cable through the head liner, down the A-pillar and under the carpet to the radio. Before I even ran all the power wires for the radio. When I gave it to him he couldnt believe I was able to hit him back so clearly because we were about about 20 miles apart (straight shot, not driving distance) I ended up talking with him and a few other guys who were all in the 15-20 mile range all running home base stations with towers and big power and they all complemented how well I sounded. I remembers what my last channel I was on and every other feature that I've custom set...Everythin BUT the clock. It's not a huge deal to me since I have a clock about 1 foot above the radio anyway but just thought it was worth noting."
"This was labeled new but when tuned up I noticed that one resistor had been burnt and been replaced."
"Excellent... radio check feature is superb."

"I love this radio, but I only wish they put ssb into it."
"I set my radio to alert me of any weather messages just in case I'm driving into something and every Wednesday around noon on multiple channels from 11-12 that damn thing keeps going off and scares the crap oit of me."

Uniden PRO520XL 40-Channel CB Radio
Style: PRO520XL. Signal/RF meter and LED indicators to monitor activity; instant channel 9 access for emergency situations.
Reviews
"Only complaint is, for it's compact size, which allows all kinds of places to install it in, I know there's room inside the unit itself to add Weather Channels (NOAA) I'm sticking with this radio because of the price #1...#2 it's always performed as advertised with no problems at all. Transmitting distance, with a CB Radio, ANY CB Radio depends on a multitude of things like, mountains, windy roads, elevation ("skip" is fun when you're on the top of an especially big/tall mountain, especially when it's the flat desert for hundred's+ of miles on the other side...Talked to MANY MANY folks from all over the SE, East, NE and I especially like "conversing" the Louisiana/Georgia area States. Man, those guys have accents that just won't quit and especially unique stories to tell...Like a different world over there and I want to visit it before I'm dead and gone and you just gotta love it! Couldn't use my Verizon Cell so I fired up my Uniden PRO520XL and after a few minutes, I finally picked up a guy who lived in Georgia. I was just outside of Bend, OR, just a couple THOUSAND miles away rom the guy who answered my "May Day" Call...GEORGIA!!!"
"Absolute kickass fun scaring dogs, deer, cats, kids, or broadcasting something funny with a horn speaker. - Microphone. Go get you a small high quality CB ext speaker at a truck stop...and plug it in. - Old school LED display is hard to see in the daylight...excellent at night tho. - Speaker power out could be a bit better with some type of tone control. - Wx function would have been nice. OVERALL. - Tuned VSR to 1:1 with my Firestik antenna on my pickup."
"No issues with range but then again it's all pretty close range."
"Got the unit set up this afternoon, & reached out about 11 miles with first contact."
"Cheap no frills radio but be careful if installing an external speaker because the plug for it on this radio is fragile."
"works great.i ever need another one will buy the same."
"Great quality for the price, works great would highly recommand."
"Why would you spend more?"

"The mobile adapter has two connectors. This way I could use the external power and the included antenna."
"Also the NOAA reports come in Loud & Clear with the Rubber Antenna."
"It does not really seem to have a hanger useful for hanging from a vertical surface, such as my dashboard, but was more than acceptable for me as I prefer to keep it in my center console when not in use."
"Installed it in my new SUV and didn't want to drill holes or cut things."
"Also comes with two battery packs and a charger for the pack that uses 8 AA rechargeable batteries. The other battery pack holds 6 regular AA batteries."

Best Radio Scanners

Uniden BCD436HP HomePatrol Series Digital Handheld Scanner
Favorites List, System, Department/Site Quick Keys and temporary avoid.
Reviews
"The reason to buy the Uniden unit is A) As you travel, the GPS feeds your location into the scanner and the scanner updates the frequencies it is scanning to those near you and B) because it is also plug & play. Mine arrived with the necessary cords to plug directly into the scanner, and it worked from that moment. You can connect the scanner to your PC to update the firmware and the frequency database from Uniden. I purchased a magnetic mount antenna on Amazon for about $30 (ASIN B004HM9RHE) and it works great. I have been told by the Ontario Provincial Police it is legal to have a scanner in a vehicle in Canada but have not been able to find the law on the books. For a busy dad, the simplicity is welcome and the Plug & Play No Fuss Ready-to-Use attributes actually let me enjoy the thing without brushing off my kids to learn how to make it work. It reminds me of the original Apple MacIntosh computer: A product so smart you can turn it on and use it without devoting hours of study to get it to function :-)."
"Nothing I could do would make it work. ***. When you read these reviews make sure it’s for the scanner you’re looking at. I’ve heard complete conversations on my other scanner (set for only two frequencies) that were missed on the BCD436HP because of the amount of time to scan through all the frequencies within 20 miles. The Sentinel software (latest version and USB drivers [...]) is used to really customize the scanner. When you plug the scanner into a USB port on your PC the scanner will ask if it’s a mass media device or serial. The BCD436HP comes with three (3) AA rechargeable batteries that are charged using the USB mini cable. I plugged mine in overnight when I received the scanner and it was pretty warm in the morning. The scanner also has to be turned off before the batteries will charge. While the scanner is plugged in and on it doesn’t use the batteries. You will hate this thing if you don’t understand that. I’ve read over many of the reviews and most of the one stars are people who expected to turn it on and listen to whatever they expected. It gives you step-by-step instructions and explains things the included manual doesn’t."
"Build quality of the radio appears to be good, but it is a lightweight plastic case. The ability to use this out of the box with a zip code or GPS is great but you can also program it like the earlier Uniden DMA scanners."
"It's an okay radio."

Reviews
"One of the features that was very important to me and set Midland apart from most of the other radios was their Group call feature. When I got the radios, I noticed as I setup them up the same as my original 4 that the Group call feature was missing."
"I live out in the country and needed a way to communicate with the wife and children.. Up on arrival we charged the units for a complete 24-30 hrs."
"These work well for limited distance, about 1 to 2 miles.I haven.t tried them at a greater distance, but I'm happy with the clear reception, and especially for the price through Amazon. The print is hard to read, and the Quick Reference Chart is almost impossible to read without a magnifying glass."
"I'll use these in my RV to instruct the driver when parking and docking. Will also use them in the campground when I head down to the lake to fish."
"Do your homework.... you won't get 36+ mile range on any GMRS radio in real-world conditions."
"They're not left in dirty toolbags or dropped on job sites. To their credit, they had me send them the radio and they replaced it. I paid shipping to them, but they paid shipping back to me. It IS broadcasting something because it gives out a very unusual feedback signal on my computer speakers but not the same feedback as every other radio we have. It seems like it's just decided to operate on a totally different frequency. FREQUENCY INFORMATION FOR THOSE THAT WANTED TO KNOW: For those that are curious about frequencies and channels, I figure I'll save you the hassle of looking it up and figuring it out. The following chart shows the Radio channel (the number on the on-screen LCD) along with the actual frequency of that channel, the common name for that channel (so you can set another standard radio to match it) and the broadcast power of the channels. Looking at the chart below, keep in mind the following things.

Best Radar Detectors

Escort Passport 9500IX Radar Detector - Red Display
Style: Radar Detector |. Color: Red Display |. Product Packaging: Standard Packaging. Radar Receiver / Detector Type: Superheterodyne, Varactor-Tuned VCO, Scanning Frequency Discriminator, Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
Reviews
"The only problem new users would have with the 9500ix, it alerts you so far in advance, if you didn't know any better you would write it off as another false alert. Every time it alerted me to a Ka band radar, what seems like miles later , Wham, there was a cop on the side of the road clocking people. There's one spot where my past 3 radar detectors always, and I do mean always, alerted. The only downside, while driving on the interstate to work, I get an alert telling me there's a redlight camera ahead. I'm driving to work this morning about 3:15 a.m. (so it's dark outside), my 9500ix started alerting me of a Ka radar. When I finally glimpsed the source of my alert, it was a police car with blue lights flashing, he had stopped another driving. Another real life example, again going to work my 9500ix alerted me just before I went into a slight curve in the interstate. I was alerted about 1 mile and around 2 curves before I actually ran across the police car."
"The detector does not give too many false "K" alerts and the KA band (used by Cops) alert has good range as it has gone off with a Cop car a mile or so away in a clear open highway. My car power outlets are on all the time, so I turn the radar detector on when I get into the car from a long park, and turn it off when I park for the night."
"The Escort 9500ix and Beltronics GX65 models are touted as the most sensitive window mounted units available with the new "GPS" advantage. POWER CORD- While sitting behind the wheel, the Escort 9500ix cord plugs in on the left hand side of the detector unit. Both of the detectors have a dark display mode, where the display goes completely black (for night use, so other drivers can't see your detector). Importance - Moderate. SIZE and BUTTONS - Both units of virtually the same size, however, I personally prefer the shape and button layout of the Beltronics GX65. Importance - Low. WINDOW MOUNT - Both the 9500ix and GX65 use the same exact window mounts. Both of these units tap the window when driving. Importance - Moderate. GPS "LOCKOUT" CAPABILITY - Both units have the ability to "Lockout" any false signal. When you know the detector is sensing a false signal, all you need to do is tap a button three times and it will permanently lock out the false signal. The only GPS negative is when you're driving down the interstate and you drive over an intersection with a red light camera. You drive a false signal 3 times and the 9500ix will automatically lock out the signal permanently. With this feature, theoretically, after a few weeks of driving, you should be able to drive around your home area, never touch your detector and all false signals will be locked out. Importance - Moderate. SENSITIVITY - This area is the most important of all."

I recently had audio recording issues with the dash cam where the audio cuts in and out randomly but re-downloading the firmware took care of that."
"I'd suggest hardwiring a USB port to turn on and off with the car so it's a set and forget it type device until you need it."
"I installed this dash cam myself back in December when I purchased my car and wired it myself."
"The only exception is if your in a well lit area such as a gas station or a street flooded with lights. Two, the adhesive mount that keeps the camera secure to your windshield does not hold up very well in the hot sun."
"Since I have this camera mounted behind my rear view mirror and I keep the monitor off — I can't see or hear when it randomly shuts off. I guess I'll see if there is a firmware issue or update, but I'm really feeling like there is a physical cause inside the unit. Despite liking this camera, I can't give it a positive review at this time until I can figure out if this is a correctable problem or not. I would have felt really dumb if I told a peace officer that I have dash-cam video, and then find out my camera wasn't even turned on."

"The system is easy to install and you only have to run a wire to your reverse light bulb wire. **IF you have a German car or if your car has bulb sensing which means it knows if your bulb is out you must purchase 12V DC power adapter filter $6**. Once you hook up to the reverse bulb and plug in the wireless transmitter your literally done!"
"I hooked up the monitor (simply plug in to the 12v accessory jack) and then used a battery jump starter to test out the camera. If I had to say a negative to go with my praises, it would be that the connection between the camera and the monitor takes about 2 seconds for the picture to show up, it’s not instant."
"Modern design, fit in the car very well, easy installation, plug in and operate, the screen resolution is clear and the size of the monitor is definitely big enough for me to notice what happening on time and make right judgement, the lens provide a large area of view, easy to configure. The rack buckles tight and stable, leaves no worry about vibration even driving on tough pavement."
"The finished installation produced an operating system with a useful and great picture on the monitor."
"Anyone with a little knowledge of vehicle wiring and some mechanical ability can install this unit in a very short period of time."
"I wanted the wired version but i couldnt get it shipped to my house, PO Box, or my business yet i could get the wireless version 2x the cost shipped no problem... seems strange to me honeslty... anyways."
"Not sure if I'm picking up interference from something or if I need to move the transponder farther away from the tail light."

Reviews
"Don't get me wrong, this is still based off of a cassette device so the quality isn't as crystal clear as it would be with a newer auxiliary port but you will be amazed with how well this device works, especially if your vehicle is like mine (old) and does not have an auxiliary port option."
"I ended up having to use my fingernail to get under the ridge on the top screen, which was still almost impossible to do."
"I dont feel the need to protect the top screen so I just cut the other protector to fit the bottom screen and ill use it later when the current one needs to be replaced."
"On a side note: This is not a flaw of the product but remember to do this in a plus with as least dust as you can I got a spec of dirt in my top screen and a fine piece of lint on my bottom screen not noticeable when the console is on but when off it on there and bothers me again this isn't a product flaw just a heads up to other people screen protectors in general are a pain."
"This one, however, has the cord coming out horizontally and seems to work better for my phone and setup!"
"Bought this as part of a hobby project to figure out if this would work in my older car that does not have Blue Tooth, USB or MP3 capability."
"This product works as advertised except for a short in the cable near the 1/8” jack."
"The only negative thing I'd say about this product is that the game pouches are a bit too tight for the 3DS game cards. Still, you factor in shipping and this bad boy is STILL half the price of most cases out there, so even with the wonky game pouches, I give it a 5."

"Press the release button on the unit and it slides off ready for storage as you drive through Virginia where you need it the most since many sections of Interstate through VA are 70 mph posted but they consider anything over 80 mph reckless driving."
"Purchased for husband’s car, works great!"
"After several sub zero days my Beltronics detector would not stick to to the glass."
"Gave 4 stars in prior review."

Reviews
"This thing worked like a charm."
"Cons. - The website used for all tracking and reporting IS NOT HTTPS (secured using TLS / SSL); your logon and password are sent unencrypted for the tracking portal. - Your entire browsing session for the SpyTec Portal IS NOT HTTPS; anyone able to sniff your network traffic knows exactly what you are browsing while on the Portal. - The GPS seems to be off by up to about 30-40 feet on our unit; may lead to improper street address resolution. - The web portal seems to be geared to tracking "drivers," as if this product is only to be used for tracking vehicles. Pros. - The SpyTec web portal is well thought out in general. - The web portal can be accessed from any modern browser, not limiting you to a specific Android or iOS application, for example. - The service does allow you to define areas to be notified when the GPS leaves / returns to certain area. - It appears to be much more effective than bracelet GPS devices sold for children, especially in that it works to some extent inside buildings. - Mapping / Reporting is based on Google Maps, and that's pretty nice. Background: We purchased this unit to track our 3 year old child that suffers from an Autistic Spectrum Disorder."
"Device worked absolutely awesome."
