Yep,the small radios are versitile meaning you can take them anywhere. Just plug up and go!

A Xtreme 2018 works in my 505 plus it gets me talkback. I also run a Astatic Road Devil on it. I bought my 505 from DTB Radio. That cost me $75 total including the tune but instead of only swinging 8-10 watts PEP, mine does 30ish!  The 505 really needs a good power mic to really do the trick though.


I have a post it two on this thread about my 505's performance. I get too much electrical noise interference I. The towns I live close by to make the 505 impractical for everyday radio because I have to drive through 9 s-units of RFI but out in the field or woods away from RFI it works great.
