Review on πŸ“» Uniden BEARCAT 880 CB Radio: 40 Channels, Large Easy-to-Read 7-Color LCD Display, and More! by Keith Gonzales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best SSB CB for the money!

Best SSB CB for the money, easy to set up once you've seen all the options. The backlight is a little lacking in direct sunlight, even when fully installed, but unless you're fiddling with all the options while driving, that's not an indicator. One suggestion is to manually tune the antenna before using the autotune feature and then once you have an acceptable SWR level, follow the autotune steps. If you have a properly installed system with quality components, you should see near-perfect SWR readings. The 980SSB is a full-size device that will take up some space wherever you choose to place it. This was used when installing a 2016 Jeep JKU with the center (navigator side) quick release skewer
