    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

    • Great radio, lots of features, display is easy to read with many choices for different colors.
    • This radio is really pretty nice, the size is perfect for small areas, the functions are great, the weather alert system is perfect for travel, features are super easy to figure out, the digital display with the capability to change colors is Awesome
    • The daytime display could be brighter in my mind but it is usable
    • But the display has several deep scratches in it.
    • Display in sunlight is hard to read but sound is really nice.
    • As such, during the daytime, manual setting to the daytime brighter display setting is required with a display not easily viewed due to being too dimly lit.
    • The display is hard to see during daylight.
    • Scan feature and sharp display.
    • It's a great radio, I really like the built in swr meter, makes tuning the antenna easy, people have said the mic isn't up to the task, I have no complaints about the mic, the display is not very bright, that's the only thing I don't like.
    • Display is very dim (and turned up all the way) and there was even a finger print on the INSIDE of the unit face
    • I love the display but cant see it in the sun adequately enough
    • The display looks great
    • Works alright but, as other reviews state, impossible to de display in sunlight
    • 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
    • Love the display
    • After amazon replacing it, I contacted Uniden, who had ZERO solutions other than offering to have me ship it at my expense to their repair facility, only to replace it with the same deficient board and display
    • The display is very user friendly
    • The new cobra 29 was a close second but the unit is larger and the display is not as nice or as easy to read like the 880
    • The display though is really what makes this CB, i was really amazed at how great it looks - it is extremely easy to read, and has thoughtful features like a dedicated night button which can be programmed to switch to any of the display colors you prefer for night/day, adjustable talkback, and mic gain right on the front
    • Great reception, people hear me very clear,display is awesome with different colors, very stylish
    • There is no real time clock, so the dim profile display lighting settings do not revert automatically during the morning hours.
    • Looks great, nice bright colors/ display
    • Display is easy to read and instructions are very detailed
    • 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
    • Also prone to bad glare, so if you prefer dim displays, you'll find yourself unable to read it in bright light
    • Found the display to be hard to see in daylight even though other reviews say it's bright
    • The digital display is nice but really is a pain in the a%$ to use
    • To clarify, I agree with those that mention the display is hard if not impossible to see in bright sunlight if the radio is off angle, but if you can get over that obstacle it is a great radio, always on frequency and packed with features.
    • The display is dazzling at night and maybe I should mount two of these radios, one under each front wheel well of my car, for extra bling
    • the fifth star is that the display is hard to see in the sun
    • The display is not bright enough in direct/indirect sun light
    • I really like this unit as it works great,as well as the multicolored display
    • the one i bought only worked for a couple of weeks before quitting, from the very start the lighted display was so dim you had to be inside the garage or be using it at night to even tell what channel you were on
    • The weather part works great, the DISPLAY is loosy
    • I probably only used it a dozen times before the LED display went south.
    • The digital display is a little difficult to see in day light.....but really nice at night.
    • Nice radio, love the digital display and it looks great.
    • Good quality feel, nice display, easy to use... just get a really good antenna and your ready
    • The digital display is a little difficult to see in day light.....but really nice at night.
    • The only gripe is the display
    • Love the large display, very easy to set up and use.
    • Love the large display, very easy to set up and use.
    • The display could be brighter.
    • Many people comment on the beeps, but they honestly don't bother me as I typically have it set on only channel 19.One issue with it is that I had to send back the first one that came in because of a faulty on off switch, the unit wouldn't turn off
    • Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a analog s
    • Holy s***.
    • Receive not as sensitive as I'd like, maybe
    • 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.
    • The microphone was still working as I could hear it through the talk back feature, but there was no power output
    • The 880 looks like it belongs in a modern vehicle, and performs as great as it looks right out of the box
