Digital camera reviews of Uniden PRO538W 40-Channel CB Radio
Digital camera Review: 538W Takes the taco
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I've used the 501 and the 538W radios. While the 501 is capable I have found the transmitter quality is better in the 538W. This radio, coupled with a brick has served me very well over the years and it was only due to an unrelated electrical failure that led to the demise of my old 538W. The weather band is a nice feature but I've found that the Uniden Bearcat BCT 7 reaches more distant weather broadcast stations, with a dedicated scanner antenna.
