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

Only fault I find in this radio is the weather band wont pickup very well. If I had the radio mounted higher in the vehicle, it would do better, I discovered. Programming can be kind of aggravating because of the way the manual is written. It really pulls in signals.

Works great

This is my second 980. The first one that I bought two years ago has a defective display that fades out when the radio warms up. As for this unit, so far, so good. Ive had it running for 48 hours now and all is working flawlessly. Regarding shipping I have to say that the seller shipped immediately and the radio arrived a day before it was scheduled. Needless to say, I would buy from this seller again.

The radio itself is decent for the price, however the backlit display keeps going out after the radio is on for a while. I returned the radio due to this issue and was sent a replacement. Unfortunately the replacement does the same thing.

Ok for price

good radio, I like the scan feature of the radio, and the fact that it shows the channel and the frequency in the display. I also like the display with the color selection, you can set up night and day colors. Setup and tune the radio to your antenna is easy.

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 love this radio gives seven different color options for the display which is different. And it really gets out!

he loves it! Thank you!!!:):):)
