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

Like the digital screen. It works perfect for my daily job

I HAVE TO SAY THIS, BUT I LOVE THIS RADIO. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY AND VALUE FOR TALKING ON A CB 40 CHANNEL AM RADIO WITHOUT GETTING INTO YOUR HIGH DOLLAR RADIOS. AM 40 CHANNELS UPPER AND LOWER SIDEBAND ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES TO GO WITH IT. COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED INCLUDING THE MICROPHONE 4 PIN ADAPTER IF YOU DECIDE TO USE A DIFFERANT ONE TO DO YOUR TALKING WITH YOUR SET-UP. THIS RADIO HAS IT ALL. SWR METER NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS SCAN 6 DIFFERANT COLORS TALK BACK DOES ITS OWN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. EASY TO USE MENU ETC. ETC. ETC. THIS IS A GREAT RADIO! I USE MINE TO TALK SKIP AND LOCAL WITHOUT NO PROBLEMS AND GET COMPLIMENTS ON HOW GOOD IT SOUNDS LOCAL AND SKIP. I HAVE HAD NOTHING DONE TO MINE OTHER THAN REMOVING IT FROM THE BOX AND HOOKING IT UP TO POWER AND MY ANTENNA. IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AND CONSIDER IT A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR JUST TALKING ON A 40CB WITH SSB.. OK THEN-- 73'S--027TAMPABAY...

I bought this as 'used' but i don't see anything about it that is used, to me it looks brand new, so as far as I'm concerned I got a cracking deal on this. Works well, no issues. I got an Astatic D-104 power mike and used the mic converter cable that came with the radio.

Once tuned it works great weather Chanel works great cb works

It’s easy to use. Lots of features. Works like it should. I bought it because it has SSB and I was able to make interstate contacts while the skip was rolling. Some people say the audio is low on AM however I was still able to talk to them. Maybe they should turn up the volume. I wish it had a Roger beep and finer adjustability in the RF gain.

I researched for a week before deciding to buy this one, and it does everything it says it can. After setting the SWR I found some people chatting on channel 38 lower sideband, and asked for a radio check. They told me I was loud and clear, and they were over 20 miles away from my location!!It was even better quality than I thought it was going to be, and I really love that it has 7 colors to choose from. Excellent little radio! Shipping was on time, and the price is right!

Talked for years on diff. types of C.B.s,I have found that UNIDEN can hang tight with the most expensive and does a GREAT job at it.This Radio is just what I was needing to talk long range "skip"And I enjoy it daily.

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, it's 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.
