Noise filtering on Uniden Pro 510?

[Turbo T]

Just wondering how good the noise filtering on a Uniden Pro 510 is compared to say a Cobra 29?

Night and day. 29 wins hands down.

Thanks. What about between a low buck Cybernet chassis radio that's as big as a Cobra 25, and the Uniden Pro 510?

I have both, wanting to go for the best to go in my truck.

If you have both radios why don't you just try them both in the mobile and decide for yourself?
Make sure you don't mount the better radio permanently because you do tend to go through radios faster than Charlie Sheen goes through women. :laugh:

Tried that, can't tell much of a difference. in fact I even tried both against a Cobra 25 and a Cobra 29, still can't tell much of a difference.

The old Cybernet board, for example a Lafayette HB640, has a great deal more filtering than a Uniden 510. A Uniden 510 has very little noise filtering capability. The adjacent channel rejection of the Lafayette HB640 worked well versus the local who found it necessary to talk on three channels at once. One thing with some of those boards is they came with a factory dead key that was supposed to be 3.5 watts and not 4 watts. If you try to max the output, it will sound distorted. I had just been having them set to 3.5 deadkey. They swing to 15, or 16, sound great with a good mic and good antenna. Better idea than a 510 if you have the room.

Most dinky radio's are not as good as a larger radio like a Cobra 29. The Uniden 510/520's are great little radio's for the price. Add an external speaker, the small stock speaker sucks.
