Uniden Bearcat 980's are IN!

It looks like the main online CB shops aren't stocking them. If you can't peak, tune or convert they won't find them to be big sellers.

I still have a funny feeling that Uniden wants to be a golden child with the FCC.

I hope not, guess we'll soon find out.

Still wouldn't be bad if it can sound decent and has a solid receive. The rest we can get around. A couple of beers and a nail clipper, and those pesky SMT resistors are gone! If it's a software thing, we might have to stand on our head, juggle, and sing "Lady of Spain" while pushing the On/Off button simultainiously with the mode, ANL, and channel selector.

Are you still getting down? :biggrin:

Well, let's hope so...

Uniden might have ordered a big drum of epoxy to cover the good parts. Still waiting for reports from the field.

I just now got down.

I have two of these radios in the box sitting until the mods come out, hope I didn't make a stupid mistake! Oh well, they look cool anyway.
 
After a little tune up mine works great, I like it a lot because of it staying dead on frequency, sure not like any of the Galaxy radios, sail boat drifters.
