Best Fixed-mount CB Radios of 2025

"I bought this for my husband’s dump truck so he could stay in contact with quarries. This CB works very well with no static and has very clear sound. Overall, it’s a great product!"

"I ordered a used model for $82, but the volume knob was broken. After getting a replacement, this radio seems nicer than the first one. It works like a charm, and I’m very happy with my purchase. The mic is a bit junky, so I recommend getting a better one."

"I bought this CB radio, but I’m leaving it in the box for now since it needs more setup knowledge and equipment. I thought buying the radio, antenna, and power supply would be enough, but I realized I need more tools. Thanks to Amazon for the great price! I was amazed to get it at my door in just about 15 hours!"

"I was in search of an affordable Compact CB for my long trips, and I couldn't be happier with its performance and quality. For the price of a grocery bag, I have a reliable radio that works for miles. I would certainly buy another one if needed!"

"I got the Pro505XL in December 2016 and it's a compact unit with decent features. It's important to get a good antenna for it. The silent controls are a nice touch, and the sound quality improves significantly with an external speaker. Just remember to match your antenna properly!"

"After using this CB for a trip to Minnesota, I ended up using it way more than expected. I mounted it securely in my center console, and even with my leg hitting it, it has held up nicely. The PA speaker I added has been excellent for communicating with other drivers. This is definitely my go-to CB radio!"

"I really appreciate the clean audio from this radio, and the display is easy to read. The compact size fits perfectly in my car, and installation was a breeze using the cigarette lighter plug. It serves me well for CB channel 19 trucker info and checking the weather forecast while traveling!"

"As a ham radio operator, I was surprised by how useful this CB radio is during long trips. It’s a smart system with a sleek design and a customizable display that looks great in my motorhome. The ability to tune without an external meter was a nice touch, and the weather push button is incredibly convenient!"

"I’m a trucker, and this radio has been a game changer for me! The sound quality is clear, and the coverage matches what the manual describes. It worked great right out of the box, and I'm really happy with this purchase!"

"I use this CB in my work truck, primarily at the landfill. The sound is nice, and it has great features. The installation was straightforward, but if it doesn’t power on, check the fuse—mine blew when I plugged it in. A good antenna is essential!"

"As a storm chaser, I absolutely need reliable communications and weather updates. I chose this Cobra because it's known for quality. The ability to scan weather channels and receive alerts is incredibly useful. Plus, I love the digital screen and customizable color options!"

"This radio is just fantastic! The reception is clear, and it looks great at night. It's a perfect fit in my truck."

"I find this product to be well-made and it performs just as advertised. The best feature is the support from Cedar Electronics. They guided me through the installation in my Corvette, which has a plastic body. The remote handset connects via USB, allowing for a clean installation with minimal space required. I can easily stow the handset in the center console, and the SWR meter in the handset helps tune the antenna perfectly. I'm very pleased with both the product and its performance."

"This is my second purchase of this radio. My first one was flawless in my wife's car, so I installed the new one in my truck. Initially, I thought I had a bad radio due to fluctuating SWR readings, but after checking everything, I found a bad connection on the coaxial cable. Once I replaced that, everything worked perfectly. After 31 years of experience with CBs, I can confidently say this is an excellent radio!"

"I bought this unit primarily to stay informed while driving. Its compact size means it doesn't clutter my dashboard, and I could install it anywhere. However, I faced challenges as my unit powered up but did not function. I took it to an installation shop, but the issue persisted, leading me to return it. While I appreciate the immediate replacement from Amazon, the refund process took longer than expected, which was quite frustrating."

"I love the compact size of this radio; it's perfect for stowing away in my vehicle or even taking with me when I travel."

"The easy power connection was a pleasant surprise. I had it up and running in no time."

"I reached out to customer support and received great assistance. They were very helpful in resolving my issues."

"I've been a Uniden fan for years. Upgrading to a new Uniden for my vehicle has been a great experience! The display color options matched perfectly with my existing displays, and the performance is outstanding. The built-in speaker is loud enough for my enclosed vehicle, and the sound quality is very good compared to other CB radios. The controls are user-friendly, and I appreciate the handy scanning feature. I did need to modify the DIN space slightly, but that was worth it for this excellent radio!"

"I bought this radio for my 80's Toyota, and with just a bit of trimming, it fits perfectly! I was initially a Cobra user, but this Uniden has changed my perspective completely. The price, quality, and features rival the Cobra 29-LX series, and I’m getting about 5 miles of range off a compact antenna. If you’re considering a CB radio, I highly recommend this one!"

"After almost a month with this CB radio, I'm impressed! The multicolored display and sound quality are fantastic. Installation was straightforward, and the manual was really helpful. Plus, the price is better than at truck stops. I absolutely love this CB radio and would recommend it to anyone in the market!"

"I've owned several of these radios and I always leave them in the trucks I sell. I've relied on the Uniden PRO520XL for years and I've never had any issues. The price is unbeatable, and it consistently performs well. I appreciate being able to communicate over long distances, especially during emergencies like the time I helped a family in a NO CELL ZONE. Having a CB radio is essential for peace of mind."

"I've been using this CB for a decade, and it has proven to be very durable. The RF gain feature is fantastic, and I find it much more useful than the squelch. It allows me to hear distant signals while keeping background noise in check. For the price, it has exceeded my expectations."

"This compact radio fits perfectly in my truck, which has limited space. While the internal speaker could be better, I added an external speaker, and the sound quality improved significantly. It doesn't have all the features of higher-end models, but it performs reliably with good noise cancellation. I’m satisfied with my purchase."

"This radio works as described, and the clarity is great. Everyone can hear me just fine. It's a great starter radio for a new driver, and the price point is great!"

"I really like this radio, though it's a bit bigger than I desired. I wish there was a smaller option with the same quality. The speaker is clear, and it has plenty of volume. However, it defaults to channel 9, which is a bit annoying."

"I use this radio as a base station to monitor local transmissions. It has good sensitivity and works well on all channels. I'm quite happy with its performance!"

"I really appreciate the compact size of this radio. It fits perfectly in my glove box, and I was able to get 6-10 miles of range in the suburbs. The installation was straightforward, and the multiple backlight options make it easy to use at night."

"Despite some initial hesitation due to mixed reviews, I decided to try this radio for its form factor. After addressing a grounding issue and tuning the antenna, it now works flawlessly. I'm really impressed by the features and value it offers for the price."
