Uniden Bearcat 980 40-Channel SSB CB Radio with 7-Color Digital Display

Bought a dash kit for a double din had to modify that a little but it fit in my tacoma nicely going to put a external speaker and pa speaker in it

for me ,i.ve been out of cb radios for over 20 years.things have changed so much. for the better.this radio has so much to offer. in the old days, i.d probably pay a hell of a lot more and not get anywhere near as much for my money. uniden has made a very good radio for the buck. if you want a nice ssb radio and don.t have alot of money, buy this one before somebody at the factory tries to improve it and mess it up.if i could, i.d buy a couple and put them away for later. thank you uniden bearcat 980 ssb tom....

Ok for price

these radios are junk. Uniden used to have these in equipment, unfortunately not anymore.

Screen starts failing almost instantly bought another and same thing 10 minutes later. So disappointed

Radio worked good for little over a year. The volume/power knob would randomly not turn the radio on and now it doesnt work at all. At least I got it on sale, but still kind of crappy that it stopped working right after warranty expired. Radio shop told me repairing it wouldnt be worth it. Feels like a ripoff.

Nice cb for a truck

Inverted v at 20 ft, unsolicited good audio reports from Nova Scotia while in Oklahoma running out of the box with a 203

Out of the box, the radio is far too dim in bright light. The radio needed extensive modifications to be useful. I changed the backlight diodes so I could see the darn thing. Dead key RF power was only 3.5 watts, and the VFO was off frequency.. The mod was only 70%. I also unlocked the clarifier so that it works with a 10k swing, in transmit AM and SSB. Now, its a great radio. I use it with a Wilson 1000 mag mount antenna. I have made day and night contacts 100 miles AM day, over 200 LSB night. Basically, out of the box, it is a average mass-produced radio.

I’m not reviewing the radio as I have not used it yet. I noticed a lot of reviews stating that you can’t shut off the beeping noise when changing channels or using other button/knob functions. To remedy (turn offf beeping) press and hold the “ANL/NB” button for one second and no more beeps! It’s in the user manual although it’s poorly defined. No more annoying and unnecessary beeps.
