    My son passed away a few years back and his Uniden Grant XL is sitting on the shelf. I have decided to put it in the truck but I noticed a chrome knob on the left underside of the radio that is not shown in the owners manual. Any idea what it could be?

    Possibly a selector switch for Extra Channels above and below the standard 40... A CB Shop can restore it back to factory, or give you a Cheat Sheet for the added channels/features..

    Does it turn or does it click?

    If it turns, then it may be for power adjustment.

    If it clicks as Russ said, it may be for channels.

    I am guessing it is the former ....

    Thanks gentlemen. When I get it set up I will check to see if anyone tells a difference in the settings.
