Uniden Bearcat 980 CB Radio with Sideband | FTL Distributing

No a bad price!!

That is an unbelievable deal! Remember when good mobile CB SSB 40 channel rigs cost 3 hundred dollars? I know, supply and demand... but still, that is a lot of radio for 140 bucks!

can these new radios survive the winter in the car or should i take it out? starting to get pretty cold here in WI

 

[gamegetter]

i would think it should be fine, i leave my rci 2950dx in the car year round...goes from about 110 in the summer to 0 degrees in the winters. no problems so far.

good luck

beep has to go! i took mine inside for a while to give it a try and with an external speaker the beep is just too loud.

UNIDEN 980SSB MODS HOW TO STOP THE BEEP SOUND `2`.MP4 - YouTube

 

[Mudfoot]

Well, I enjoyed that, seems that the mod posted a few weeks ago does appear to work.

He also demostrated that it can be done with common man tools, lol.

I would do the mod as well.



Thanks for that video link

Your welcome.

Yeah, I noticed the tool set.

SMT or not, removal of that resistor to get rid of that beep seems like a very easy choice to make.

i was so excited when i saw the BEEP mod i grabbed some tools and just did it,,, beep is gone, mod works!,,,

on an external speaker if you really listen close you can faintly here the beep but it is nothing compared to stock. very happy now!

 

[Diesel2650]

Yup, it works! Still there but can hardly hear it. Gettin hard to see this small stuff :sad: Oh and I read Uniden has not and has no intention on releasing a service manual so this is probobly it for this radio

 

[Mudfoot]

Somebody will crack sooner or later.

 

[123kid]

yall should get those kids that crack the firmware in ps3's and xbox360s involved those kids break barriers on products that were made impossible to crack.Go on a crack forum where they do system hacks for like chinese dingoo handhelds etc modding forums tell one of em to pick up a 980ssb and crack it you would be surprised challenge they like challenges

 

[123kid]

Tell em they can make money doing it

 

[Diesel2650]

Thats about what it would take. But the kids aint got no intrest in cb radios or any radio for that matter.

Does anybody know how to test ssb pep with an a static swr and power meter? Because I would like to turn up my modulation and keep the carrier in legal ranges I just want more solid ssb performance and punchy audio
