The finals are well known to not come with thermal grease in these radios.... but the finals are not under the heat shield you speak of. The small one on the left is the CPU and the larger one on that right is the VCO

The Uniden 980's are known for having LCD display failures which is unfortunate.

That domain name is dead

A while back i put a backup on my hosting under cbtricks.co as I already have tons of server space and bandwidth for various other projects. It would be nice to find the forum files as that's where a lot of the good stuff was. Oh well. There's tons of great info on this site, I think it's great...

He gave up on the project because the 980's are having a huge problem with LCD failures and he decided the mod board wouldn't be worth producing if the radios are all failing. Honestly, he went as far as He did, It wouldnt be a lot of trouble to add on a cheap OLED or LCD display that would...

Thanks Jeff, I'll send him an email.

Thanks for the info guys. Yes I had found that one listed on Ken's electronics but was hoping I could find the ratings and wind my own, or purchase one new. Anything used will be like 999's image and have the corrosive glue on it slowly eating it away. I'm getting around to restoring 6 of these...

Just an FYI on this, even though it's an older thread. Mark did develop an almost complete working mod kit for the 980 but has given up on it for the time being. The 980s have been suffering from display issues. His kit replaces the MCU but uses the factory display board. Apparently all...
