510xl can I use this base.and a antenna for out side.do I need power from 120 to 12dc.will this work.
Hi Tim, technically speaking, you can convert just about any mobile radio into a base station with a proper power supply and external antenna, and the PRO510XL is no exception. For instance, you could set it on a desk, connect it to a power supply such as the TYT TH-1380, add an external CB antenna such as the Midland 18-258 Glass Mount CB Antenna, and you're good to go. There are a number of options available, so it is certainly possible.
The Galaxy 959 is a great choice. It not only has the "classic CB radio" look and feel, it's rugged and has a two year warranty. The 959 is a high end CB radio used by a lot of professionals and is very popular with truckers. I would say the Galaxy 959 is definitely worth getting.
Wondering if this radio is worth getting galaxy 959
