Just curious, is there an on/off for the display on the Optima? I have narrowed my choice to either the Optima or the Lincoln 2. I like the small size,power and memory features of them both. But the radio will be used in a mobile and bright lights are a problem for me. Could the Optima be modified to have a dimmer? The Optima sounds like a good radio and I like that it has a fan from the dealer.
OK sounds good! I have a magnum s45 and even on dim the lighting is just a little too bright for me at night. I like my Uniden 980 easy dimming capabilities. Just wish that radio could be modified for the extra channels. I have been told many many times how good that radio sounds, and that is with the stock mic.
I have a 980 as well and use the older Uniden stock mic, the one with the silver face and a red paw on the front and the back is black. Came with a PC68 I bought. Wired for 4 pin cobra radios. With the adapter it works well on the 980 as well as the Uniden Bluetooth mic. Drill the mic hole out them and they aren't bad either. But the bearcat mic seems to work best.
Be patient undertaker. It will be worth the wait. You will like it a lot for SSB use, especially with the filter turned on and a good external speaker!! The $40 Wilson metal ones actually do work well with this radio, can be tuned up and not distort.
Just curious, if a person gets one of these radios.... what would be a good amp
to run with this?

I tried a TNT350hd for a short spell but went with a TS 500 instead. Worked real nice.
Texas Star DX500 works a treat with the Optima.
