If that is true, but I doubt. I would have to say lack of sells would be the reason, not another line.
Hi,
I just bought one on Amazon.....
I actually think they are selling like "hot cakes" from the reviews I have seen!!!
Just sayin!

What I figured.
I don't know this guy or patronized his services but just generalizing, he sounds like another CB tech god who claims to have all the inside knowledge from CB manufacturers.
I have heard many outlandish claims from tech gods like they have been invited to the Asian factories and had a hand in designing some of the new line of radios.
After hearing many B.S. stories like this, it gets to the point where you can't believe any of them.
I would suggest to anyone who has the unique opportunity to visit Mark Sherman in person to do so if you want a fine example of what I'm talking about, then you can judge for yourself.
Sorry Rabbiporckchop, but I couldn't resist… Not!
An inexpensive radio that has many options and sounds great on ssb. Even a wireless mic. Not going anywhere soon. The people at Uniden in the R&D dept came up with a winner
I own one myself and use it in my mobile station. I got it primarily for the WX alert feature since I regularly drive through tornado alley. The WX alert really does work like a true WX radio and it'll make you jump out of your seat when it goes off! Thankfully the alert can be turned off if not needed.
As a radio, it gets the job done. I wasn't too keen at first on the basic adjustments being done with buttons and a multi-function knob, but most of those settings are set and forget anyway.
Overall it seems to a solid radio and I would think Uniden would continue the line but maybe an updated version of it.
We'll see.

Lescomm is probably going to discontinue selling them since he can't hack them up and install his expander kits in them like he does the old platform Galaxy CB's he sells.
I see nothing on the Uniden site about discontinuing the 980.

I saw the Lescomm ad the other day and went a-googling. Only other reference I could find was another ebay reseller claiming the radio had been discontinued, but that was in 2013.
So, yeah, pretty much bunk.

This is the only thing I don't care for, when on the road I like to have a fully adjustable RF gain knob at my fingertips and going into menus and such just doesn't cut it. If they could find a way for the clarifier to revert to RF gain in AM mode it would be much more attractive to me.
I do like the 880.
I bought a 880 from Loves on sale a couple years ago and the way most items program I pulled it out after about 2 weeks and it is still boxed up. I like the old radio controls. not into the push this and turn that while going down the road. can be as bad or worse than a cell phone and texting.
