    Uniden BEARCAT 980SSB 40- Channel SSB CB Radio with Sideband NOAA WeatherBand,7- Color Digital Display PA/CB Switch and Noise Cancelling Mic, Wireless Mic Compatible

    • I also don't like the way you can't turn the loud beeping noise off whenever you change the channel.
    • You can learn how on Youtube, but I'm just going to learn to love the beep
    • 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
    • This new uniden 40 channel cb ssb mobile radio is no doubt a winner except for the annoying beeping when performing functions as simple as changing channels
    • The beeps are great for driving since you can change or adjust the stations without looking at it
    • Loud beeps with any control changes.
    • The one drawback is the loud beep sound every time you push a button or turn a knob, however!
    • I found a mod to kill the beep, but no one replied that they tried it too and it worked, so I'm still dubious about that one, and really, that's
    • A cure for disabling the beep is out
    • 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.
    • One complaint I have is that the annoying beep sound it makes every time I change the channel.
    • Like almost every one else, that friggin beep noise is an issue and the fact that Uniden didn't see fit to give us a menu option to turn it off is just a stupid oversight
    • 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
    • The annoying beep can be killed, search YouTube for some walk thru.
    • Annoying "beep" on every button (there is a video on You Tube to remove a small chip and this loud beep will go away)I did the mod and the beep is about 98% gone...barely audible
    • The BEEP is annoying, but apparently there is a fix for that out on the internet2
    • Looks good, works good, but that constant beep every move is too loud and annoyed me.
    • Very nice product, works right out of the box, the annoying beeps everyone speaks of is insignificant to me
    • For instance, with Cobras re-designed 29 mobile you can easily disable the beep via the menu system in the radio
    • ANNOYING beep on every knob - except clarifier - or button pushed
    • 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
    • Good little radio for the price, but every time you do anything, from turning it on to changing the settings, switching to sideband, etc, it makes an irritating beep
    • A fun radio and lots of features, annoying beep when changing channel and not easily servicable, and didnt appear to be putting out full legal power.
    • That annoying click-beep from every push and turn of the controls
    • One feature I would suggest to Uniden is the ability to adjust the volume and or disable the beep whenever a button is pushed or channel is selected
    • YES - that damn beep was driving me freaking crazy
    • Great radio for the price worked great out of the box the only thing I did to it was disable the annoying beep inside
    • There's an annoying beep for every funtion that gets old and can't be disabled
    • A fun radio and lots of features, annoying beep when changing channel and not easily servicable, and didnt appear to be putting out full legal power.
