> 3 dayThis thing is really big. If you have a Tacoma, you will be hard pressed to find an installation spot for it. I never hooked it up due to its size. Looks like it has a bunch of features. I returned it to Amazon and purchased the President Bill.

> 3 dayI just installed this in my jeep, its a big CB. Several of the reviews mention the clicking noise it makes when changing channels, while it is loud, i didnt find this to be annoying or a down side to this CB. Several options on this CB makes it stand out better than some of the Cobra, Midlands, or the cheaper Uniden CBs i have used in the past. I have not had the chance to play with it a lot but will update on how it does on my next jeep trip in a few weeks. So far the only reason it doesnt get a 5 star review is due to it being a bigger than average CB

> 3 dayHad issues with former Cobra CB radio with weather option. Decided it was time to try a different brand. This CB tuned with SWR meter perfectly. Really like all the options. Read that some others have had some issues. So far, so good. No problems. Really like the Weather option and the additional outputs for external speaker which I needed and also a PA speaker if needed.

> 3 daySo, I put some spade connectors on the wires, connected my coax and new mic, started it up. No surprises so far. I also have a cobra 29 and it has very good reception, this unit (880) may be slightly better. Sound is pretty good, but I think the talk back may be a bit weak. Both the cobra and this unit have all channel and men scanning. The 880 does scan a bit faster which I like. Weather channels come in loud and clear. I also used the diagnostic screen, and will say that the SWR measurement is pretty close, and the value read out is a nice touch. This CB went into a Jeep unlimited rubicon, into a tuffy box. I may go back to a footman loop mount as this unit is quite a bit lighter and smaller than the cobra 29. As far as size, picture something between a uniden 520 , and the cobra 29. About the same width as a 29 but shorter. One other nice touch I thought was the case screws. The case has the same four screws as any CB, but they are recessed, and look very clean. I used the six pin mic that came with the 880 with no issues. My jeep does hit the trails, so longevity will be a concern until it proves itself. Feel free to ask questions, and hope this was helpful.

> 3 dayFantastic radio! I love the diagnostic feature. For an amateur like me, it already saved me a headache when I failed the antenna test (it wasnt grounded properly) so instead of me backtracking I just went straight to my antenna mount, found the problem and corrected it.

> 3 dayI bought this radio to put into my 80s Toyota, under my stock-sized 1-DIN deck. With MINOR trimming to the bezel with a dremel and some very light fabrication, it fit PERFECTLY into the lower radio spot. Originally, I bought this radio for this reason, and only required the WX-band feature and knew nothing about Uniden radios (Ive always bought and been satisfied with Cobras 29 series) This unit has changed my perspective 100%, however. Price point, quality, and features put it squarely in the quality range of the 29-LX series radios with far easier to use features and benefits, while being cheaper as of Q2 / 2023. Notable is the 4-pin to 5-pin handset adapter included, and the built in SWR/CAL features. Without being peaked/tuned, Im getting about 5mi of range off a 3 Firestik/Firering combo with a SWR of 1:3. All with an install that looks near-factory optioned. If youre considering it, buy one.
