Anytone AT-500M VOX CB Radio AMFM 27Mhz Truck Radio AMFM P

The Anytone AT-500M is the no-compromise CB radio built for drivers who spend real miles behind the wheel — from coast-to-coast OTR runs in a Freightliner Cascadia to weekend off-road hauls in a RAM 2500. Full 40-channel AM/FM coverage, hands-free VOX transmission, and FCC-legal power output make this the communications upgrade your cab has been waiting for. Compatibility The AT-500M operates on universal 12V DC power, making it a direct plug-and-play replacement or fresh installation across virtually every commercial and light-duty platform on American roads today. Class 8 drivers in Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680, Peterbilt 389, and Mack Anthem trucks will find the compact 180 x 50 x 175 mm chassis slides neatly into factory overhead console brackets or aftermarket dash mounts without cutting or fabricating. Light-duty truck owners running a Ford F-150, RAM 2500, Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, or GMC Sierra 1500 can mount the AT-500M in a standard under-dash radio bracket or A-pillar cradle. Cargo and Sprinter van fleet operators benefit from the low-profile footprint that fits between driver and passenger seats on a console mount. The standard PL-259 / SO-239 coaxial antenna connector ensures compatibility with every popular trucking CB antenna on the market — NMO, magnetic mount, or mirror-mount whip antennas all connect without adapters. Key Benefits • Hands-Free VOX Transmission — Voice-activated keying eliminates the need to grab a mic during lane changes, loading dock approaches, or tight off-road trails, keeping both hands on the wheel and dramatically reducing distraction risk. • Dual AM/FM Mode — Switch between standard Citizens Band AM communication on all 40 FCC-designated channels and FM broadcast reception for long-haul entertainment, giving you one unit that handles both tasks. • FCC-Legal 4W AM / 12W PEP SSB Output — Maximum legal transmit power under FCC Part 95 regulations ensures you cut through road noise and reach the widest possible communication range without risking fines or confiscation. • No License Required — FCC Part 95 CB service certification means the AT-500M is fully legal to operate the moment installation is complete — no amateur radio exam, no application, no waiting. • Full 40-Channel Coverage — Every FCC-designated CB channel from 26.965 to 27.405 MHz is accessible, ensuring instant integration with the entire North American CB trucking network including channel 19 for highway traffic. • Universal 12V Automotive Power — Standard automotive electrical compatibility means clean wiring into any fuse panel or accessory relay, with no inverters or voltage converters needed.

The faceplate features tactile pushbutton controls with clearly labeled legends that remain legible in direct sunlight and low-cab-light night conditions — critical when you're operating at 65 mph and need to adjust squelch or change channels without glancing down. Internal RF shielding suppresses electrical interference from diesel ECUs, alternator whine, and modern CANBUS systems that can corrupt weaker radio receivers. The microphone connector is a standard 4-pin design compatible with aftermarket truck driver microphones. The entire unit is finished in a matte black coating that resists fingerprinting and blends with both factory OEM interiors and custom aftermarket dash builds. All external connectors use gold-contact pins to resist corrosion in humid, high-vibration cab environments common to refrigerated carrier and tanker applications. Installation Guide Installing the AT-500M takes most drivers under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. First, identify your mounting location — under-dash bracket, overhead console slot, or A-pillar cradle — and confirm the 180 x 50 mm face clears surrounding trim. Second, route a dedicated 12V DC power lead from your fuse panel to the mounting location, using an inline 5A fuse within 18 inches of the power source. Third, connect the red wire to a switched 12V accessory circuit so the radio powers down with the ignition, and connect the black ground wire to a clean chassis ground point. Fourth, thread your coaxial antenna cable from the antenna mount location (roof, mirror bracket, or magnetic roof mount) through the cab headliner or door seal and connect the PL-259 plug firmly to the SO-239 jack on the rear of the unit. Fifth, slide the AT-500M into your bracket and secure with the provided mounting hardware. Sixth, power on the vehicle, set squelch to the threshold where static just disappears, tune to channel 19, and perform a radio check with a nearby driver or hand-held CB. VOX sensitivity is adjustable via the front panel — start at a mid-level setting and increase until voice reliably triggers transmission without false keying from engine or road noise.
