hey, I just got the Uniden 520xl also, about 2 days ago from Amazon, for 53.99, a buck cheaper than the Petro had the 510. I also got a 3' Firestik antenna, 18' coax and a mount. but hell if I know how to put it all together! 
I might have to pass on this run.

JJ - I'm sure you can find someone to help you install your CB and antenna. I'd bring it all on the run on Sat. if you're going. cchaser - you should tune your antenna with a SWR meter. I believe a few in the group have them. |

Your antenna will need to be tuned , even though it seems like it will work now. You will be ok to listen to it untill you tune it , but you could damage the circuitry if you transmit . You should have no problem getting it tuned before the run , in Searchlight. Seeyou tomorrow. |

Cool, I'll see you there. On the way past Horizon Ridge and 95 there is a Chevron Station with a Jack-in-the-box. I have to stop and pick up another Jeeper that will be going, too. It should be just a quick off and then back on. Then it will be non stop to Searchlight. All aboard!!! See you at Smith's, Valle Verde and 215.
