Hi, Well, the way I am is that if I HAD bought a Grant XL that would of been $150 at least and then I would of had to send it to a GOOD tech to get it gone over! That would of been another $150! So now I;m in it a little bit and still have a 20 year old radio??? Maybe they are worth...

Hi, I've had luck (and good reports!) with the Extreme 2018! I run it with the echo off!

Hi, Well.....Most radios are twice as much from what I have seen? I put mine in, tuned the antenna and used it from the old Cobra power supply (fusebox!) Then got time and ran my heavy wire straight from the battery and made my stand. I have plastic covered stereo box connecters from...

Hi, Thanks fellas, ALL info is good! Yes, 338, that was a lengthy thread because I was getting an education on CB radios from all you guys.... And it was appreciated! I still have my old Cobra Classic 25 and I think I'm going to send it in and have it rebuilt/checked out, tuned and...

Hi, Whats "funny" is I really resisted getting a modern CB Radio... I was looking for a Cobra 29 or Uniden Grant XL. Actually glad now I got the 980! Time marches on I guess!

Hi, Being a fan of 70's Stereo (LOVE my Sansui's!) E-Bay and Electronics can be a serious crap shoot! (Don't ask me how I know that!!!)

Hi, Sorry I don't use the scan function? I just run thru the channels easy with the knob! I DO like the WX Channels that of course you didn't have on the older radios! I have the 203 amp sitting at home and hope to get it in next time I go home! The radio is just installed stock out of...

Hi, Well....so far I have had nothing but great feedback from talking..... To people with this radio/ mic, combo! I also bought a nice Italian antenna which probably is helping also!

Hi, Thanks! He seemed interested in what I was running! I bought the Extreme 2018 from talking to you guys here on this forum. (225?) I have everything on the mike turned to "0" but.... I guess the quality over the OEM original mike, is showing after all!!!

Hi, Everything is fine, I'm just surprised he knew it sounded better than a OEM (original) mic!!! I thought that was pretty sharp of him!

Hi, If anyone remembers I put in my Uniden Bearcat 980 SSB radio. Ran #4 wires and welded up a stand to go on the tranny hump of my pick up. Everything secure! Was running up the street yesterday and answered a guy on 19 asking for a radio check. We started talking and I asked how my...

Hi, Well, I got everything to work together without the feed back. I'm still getting out VERY well it seems on AM! I ran the radio gain all the way down and then back up to "2" which is halfway of whats available and... The feedback dissapeared? Admittedly everything is off or set to...

Hi, I'm trying to remeber if I still HAVE the stock mic? I work out of town so to speak so will see. It seems to me though if you turn everything on the 2018 mic to off or "0", it should be like a regular mic?????? Thanks again!!!

Hi, Thanks Fellas! I wasn';t able to get to my truck today! (work always gets in the way!) To answer your question no I do not get the feedback with the speaker in the radio, only the Uniden external speaker! It is a nice speaker and a LOT louder than the radio speaker and I like that...

Hi, I've never had a radio with the talkback feature... So thought I would play with it, then ran into the feedback problem! I'll play with it later to day and see what I find!

Hi, Yea, I'm on a ship and can't get to my truck right at the moment but will today and see what I can find out with this! Thanks fellas!!

Hi, The two "wheels" on the back of the mic are set at "0"! I'll have to look for noise reduction switch? Thanks!

Hi, Gain is already down on mic! Will have to check radio? Thanks!

Hi, I finally got my radio installed. Still have to do the mod for the added amp. But I'm running the radio stock. Put in heavy wire straight from the battery and that seemed to help? Old system came from fuse block! I'm also running a Uniden external speaker and noticed I get a...

Hi, Yes, I will try to put up an update when I get to it! Yes I am a 70's Sansui Stereo Freak! I love those old Sansui's!!!! http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31506 https://forum.audiogon.com/topics/amps-preamps
