Anyone ever used one of the bearcat 980s on ssb? Little off topic I know lol

Not off topic at all. It’s been discussed, even in this thread.

I bought one and my son runs it now.

It has some quirks I don’t like - the stepped mic gain and such. And, i tend to get the “unwanted talkback” problem that’s been discussed here a couple times.

But the danged little rig sounds GOOD. It does well for my son. At what I paid for it you just can’t do any better for a new SSB rig.

I’d love to find a good source for the expansion boards...that’d take it to the next level.

From all reports here the 980 is great on ssb and pairs up with the rm italy kl203 amps very well.

Man that blows, cut his coax lol
Seriously, I would have to talk to that guy. I mean if I was bleeding I would hope that someone would let me know so I could turn it down a bit.

Well the thing is, he knows. He says that’s power, just pure power. I just stand there shaking my head. He’s a legend in his own mind, his narrow and tiny little mind, no his uneducated on the subject mind.

I shall erect a tower and beam of epic and massive size - then get that guitar amp from “Back To The Future” and key on him every time I hear him. Or I’ll just use a laser to blast his station to a zillion pieces.

Or maybe just cut the coax, lot cheaper on my end.

Haha you got me rolln over here. Don't cut it, go outside and wrap a pork chop around it and throw a dog in his yard. By the time the leo gets there the pork chop will be gone, and so will a section of coax. Hang a sign around the dog's neck that says "this is just a warning".

That’d kinda be like hanging myself in effigy almost, haha.

Getcha one for a backup

Pack everything into a Harb Frt Apache transport case (2800 thru 4800 series) with all that you need as spares, extras, etc to the main radio. Kl203 amp, small power supply, etc; whatever fits your idea of a go-anywhere radio of this sort.

There may be better, but anything with less performance is a waste of money.

See threads. Has been discussed several times.
