But other than that, I love all the features and the functions.
Quality control stinks packing stinks amazon u will loose money trying to save money it will catch up.
altogether I love this CB looks good very easy to work awesome features
My Uniden BCD996T had an inverted display, and the inverted display is more easily dimmed during nighttime use and/or easily bright enough during daytime??3
Weather functions and channel scan are awesome features as well

I run this radio bone stock, no transmit alignment necessary, on the stock mic, and get great SSB reports on both the transmitting frequency accuracy, and the audio.
you want a simple SSB radio that works, gets out and does it job then get this on
But for a first time ssb radio or a great sounding stable ssb radio this can not be beat
This is a great radio for the tinkering hobbyist, and its the most inexpensive new SSB CB out there.
Operation of a CB station must only employ:(a) AM with a transmitter power notexceeding 4 watts pZ with a necessarybandwidth not exceeding 6 kHz; or(b) SSB modulation using USB or LSB witha transmitter power not exceeding12 watts pX and with a necessarybandwidth not exceeding 3 kHzOperation of a CB station must only employSSB modulation using:(a

I received good audio and signal reports from everyone I spoke with, using a D-104 hand microphone and the 6 pin to 4 pin adaptor that came with the radio

Has great reception around my area, and the reports have been good from other drivers using the included mic
My Uniden BCD996T had an inverted display, and the inverted display is more easily dimmed during nighttime use and/or easily bright enough during daytime??3
That would be a steal for a single side band radio, but I have seen too many reports on various radio websites about Uniden Bearcat 980 failures

so once it's done should be a great unit thats the only thing it is missing
awesome unit no complaints SWR testing is great on unit
I purchased this as a replacement from a burned up unit, so I thought.
This is a great looking unit that takes a little getting use too

..and no one wants to hear you warn others about those Yota-boys and which way to go to avoid them, when it's all crackling and broken sounding
Uniden 980 Bearcat CB gets only two stars because of the annoying beeping sound; because Uniden won't address the issue, and because there's no way to disable the beeping noise without removing one of the delicate surface-mount tech (SMT) circuits on the flimsy, wafer-thin circuit board.
it nice sideband radio watch a video on out was surprise do dead key on am almost 3 to talking 12 ssb 10 that out of box weather real good sound if I can get ANTENNAS higher be nice to use i love it
Random prosThe mic sounds good for stock, have had no complaints.

Unfortunately, my Bearcat 980 died an early death.
The 880 looks like it belongs in a modern vehicle, and performs as great as it looks right out of the box
I will see if it works as I can get pass the marring but would have been better if it had been shiny and new.

I did, however, do the "beep mod," in which you unsolder one SMD resistor to get rid of the ABSOLUTELY USELESS, ANNOYING, and LOUD BEEP every time you twist a knob or push a button
You can learn how on Youtube, but I'm just going to learn to love the beep
The one drawback is the loud beep sound every time you push a button or turn a knob, however!
I've read about low SSB output straight out of the box on some models, and how to adjust it internally, as well as that infernal beep - which I'm pretty certain is fixable now
ANNOYING beep on every knob - except clarifier - or button pushed

Carrier dead key is 4.0 watts, speak into Mike and Carrier on external wattmeter does not move
best i could do with this radio was about 6watts dead key
when dead key is turned down the modulation drops out.as a barefoot radio it works very well.

The radio still works great, everything still works and I have not had an issue with it, no do I have any complaints (this is a big deal).I did send my Bearcat in to be "peaked and tuned" and is now swinging 30 watts on the bird meter with a 6 watt dead key
