User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need a license to operate a CB radio
Answer:	No, not in the USA for a CB.
Question:	Is the antenna coax cable included
Answer:	No, it's the radio and microphone. The antenna and coax are separate components you would need to buy to fit your particular installation needs.
Question:	Newbie here with these radios. What is the range distance one can reach with this specific unit? Thanks
Answer:	It really depends on the terrain and the amount of radio interference in your area. With a properly tuned antenna in relatively flat terrain you should be able to get at least six miles probably more. I'm assuming your asking about mobile and not base use.
Question:	Does the radio stay on the same channel when turned on and off
Answer:	When the radio is set to a CB channel it returns to that channel after being switched off then back on. If set to a weather channel it jumps back to CB after switching off then back on.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the radio have a 12v plug or does it need to be wired up
Answer:	And no there is no 12v plug or anything. Just has a positive and negative for wiring to your power supply of your choosing. And yes to needing to be wired up which is easier than you think.
Question:	If I wanted to hook this CB up to the cigarette lighter socket, what kind of cord do I need to purchase
Answer:	The CB has two wires built in so all you would need is a cigarette lighter socket adapter and wire it up. The wires are about 4' long so you should have no problems where you mount it. The wiring is very easy - that's the set up I have so I can unplug and remove the CB when I'm just driving around locally.
Question:	Do i need to buy and antenna for this? Or does it come with one
Answer:	It comes with one as seen in the picture, but don't expect a lot of range from the smaller antennas. Buy a 3-5' antenna if you want real range. And no, you don't need to buy an extra able. You can buy antennas for your car that comes with a cable and a magnetic mount to ground it to your car.
Question:	What is frequency output range?what is the wattage
Answer:	The 520XL can also be taken to any CB shop and be "peaked and tuned" to over double the factory power. This is a very common practice that any trucker will do with his/her CB. This radio, peaked and tuned will deliver 8.5-9.0 watts with 17-18 watt peaks. This is more than twice the factory (legal) power, and adds significant range and clarity to your radio. As far as I am aware, there are no other compact radios on the market with the ability to be peaked and having the RF gain control in a compact unit is AWESOME. This radio is a gem. Buy it, peak it, love it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with everything to install? And can I install to my battery
Answer:	It includes the microphone, power cable and mounting bracket. You will need an Optional suitable CB antenna. You may need to lengthen the power cord if going directly to the battery.
Question:	What is the best antenna for this radio
Answer:	For any CB radio, the tallest antenna you are comfortable with, mounted as high as possible on the vehicle, will perform best.
Question:	What is the wattage output
Answer:	It puts out about 4 watts. I think it gets out better than the other brand radios even after they have been “tuned”.
Question:	why did it blow its fuse only had a bigger size i put in and works
Answer:	It can happen if your 12v source had a power surge or if you accidentally crossed polarity. It's better to use recommended fuse size to avoid damaging your radio.
