Uniden Bearcat BC980

Got it in yesterday and installed it. The options are gonna take getting used to as well as that beep. With the mic gain all the way up it DKs about 3.5w and carries about 7.5w. The RF Gain is lacking IMO. The ssb is not great either. I could do better chasing my Galaxy. The freq. readout needs another decimal. I'll need to tweak the output for a decent ratio. It picks up more engine noise than the other radio I had in this truck.

Give it time. It is different.

You should do a compaireson between 980 and dx959

I hope it doesnt turn out to be a DOG like the Cobra 148 GTL....

It is made in China.

Your point?

So where the US Olympic teams uniforms, but they were made/built to the specs requested by the US company that outsource those jobs. I've been to China, there is no shortage of skilled craftsmanship there but the manufactures are only going to build a radio, uniform, car, etc as good as they are contracted to build.

Its very disrespectful of rich men to vote out for our U.S OLYMPIC team to wear made in china uniforms. So many Americans would have loved to take the job rather than another country.
