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

Looks great, Functions great, at a great 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.

All I get is the weather station tried everything up high down low everywhere no chatter no nothin

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.

I’ve bought 2 of these the 980 and the 880 couldn’t adjust mic gain on either one going back to knob radio

Gorgeous looking. Nice rig !

Everything that is described is what it is. Im in the construction industry and this CB is a step up from my classic 29ltd, I purchased 2 4ft firestik 2 antennas just to compliment the CB as well as an swr meter to calibrate it, the internal calibrator is pretty accurate as well. Justy simple set up in my 2020 T880 heavy I can reach out about 5 miles EZ . I wish I made this purchase sooner.

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!

No microphone adapter

I was out of town when it arrived so didn’t get to install it until today and it won’t even come on! Apparently I can’t return it at this point but BEWARE!
