I bought a new Uniden Pro-505 XL CB Radio from DTB Radio. I had DTB tune and align it and what I've been told,it's a pretty good performer for a compact radio. Right now it's at my Post Office waiting to pick it up maybe Saturday. Also I ordered a RF Limited TRB-X2 talkback kit with double talker to install in the 505. Also,I ordered from LED Lights, Bulbs & LED Lighting Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS some green,red,and UV LEDs to change the LCD display to a green color on receive and red to light up the display on on transmit. At some later date I may get a Astatic 636 mic for it. The talkback/echo knobs will be housed in a custom enclosure fastened to the bottom radio case with pop rivets. It sounds like chrome plating a cowpie but I think it would make it a nice radio.
One other idea. I'd like to wire it so that I can monitor channels through a PA horn. My TRC-428 nine scan has that feature.

DTB Radio's site has been hacked so that will have to come later
