Does the Uniden PRO520XL have weather channels?

No. It covers the 40 CB channels only. If you want NOAA weather alerts, look at Uniden's CB models with weather band.

Do I need an antenna to use it?

Yes. The radio needs an external CB antenna, a mount and a coaxial cable. It does not transmit usefully without a tuned antenna.

Yes. It has a PA mode, but you need an external PA horn speaker connected to the rear jack.

Yes, if you want basic 40-channel talk. Controls are simple and the unit is small. Just budget for an antenna and a way to check SWR.

Bigger radios add weather channels, sideband, a built-in SWR meter and louder audio. This one trades those for a very small body.

The radio, a microphone with a coiled cord, a mounting bracket and hardware. Antenna and PA speaker are sold separately.
