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

Ok for price

You get it all with this radio. A clarifier that nearly overlaps all three bands. Channel scanning as well as memory present scanning. SWR meter. Mic and RF Gain. A nice anniversary style metal mic. Excellent deal.

Save your money if you want to buy a CB radio and just buy an inexpensive Cobra or Midland. I wish I hadnt thrown away my old really cheap Cobra 19 that was really inexpensive. That cheap radio was ten times a better radio than this Uniden Bearcat 980 SSB. In order to hear any talk on CB with this radio I have to be within 1/4 mile of anyone. I have used it in two vehicles and two different antennas and this radio is about useless. The radio now sits on the rear floor of my car not even hooked up. SSB I have never heard any talk on it. I have to say this radio has got to be the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. If I could sell it for $50 it would be sold.

Only fault I find in this radio is the weather band wont pickup very well. If I had the radio mounted higher in the vehicle, it would do better, I discovered. Programming can be kind of aggravating because of the way the manual is written. It really pulls in signals.

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

This radio is fully type accepted by the FCC and is legal in all aspects. It has full power output as allowed by them. There are mods that increase its power but that will remove its FCC type acceptance. Invest money into a good antenna system if you need more range. It has very good audio with the standard supplied microphone. With an amplified microphone you get a boost in audio power and range. SSB is bright and clear on both transmit and receive, AM is clear and tonally rich, FM is truly a desirable signal. The built in speaker is large enough and has enough audio power to be heard in a noisy environment. If you are looking for a solid, well made, CB radio, this one deserves your attention.

he loves it! Thank you!!!:):):)

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.

The radio works fine and is what was advertised in the description.

Radio it works great love it
