Welcome to THE BEST site for CB or Ham Radio.
You might have a long wait on CH 16. If you can swing it get a 40 channel CB with SSB.
 
The 980 is a nice rig. Think you'll be happy with it. Only thing I'd suggest, add a power mic. I had good reports with a Turner on mine.

And welcome to the forum!:)

Welcome.

Using it mobile or fixed?

The Uniden 980 is my favorite as to “The Basic Radio” as AM without SSB just isn’t worth the money.

WWDX a great site for research. It’s no longer a surprise I do a Net search to wind up back here.

(Which reminds me: I have a new 980 delivered several days ago I need to go over and pick up. This site can also whet the “MORE” appetite, so beware!).

I’ve managed to acquire Uniden 880, 885, and now 980 the past few years. The first two are likely to go to new homes.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
