I purchased the Pro505xl because it was on sale for $35 no shipping charges and on a tax free weekend. It fits well in the center console of my econobox because it's so narrow.
Works fine for what it is, a basic radio. I believe it has an ANL built in but without a switch to turn it on and off because it sounds similar to other radios I have with the ANL in the on position. On my other radios if I have the ANL in the off position I hear all sorts of random crackling popping noise, switch it on and there is a hiss but it's fairly smooth just the pro505xl sounds.
It doesn't have a Noise Blanker, when I use my power windows or turn my fan blower on high it picks up that noise.
I'd say it's good for the price, basic small radio. I measured a full 4 watts out of it dead key and it swings up to about 6 when talking.
