You have a second generation 980. The first gen had an SWR bridge in front of the antenna jack and it was more open to being hacked. The second gen had those parts removed entirely. The 'random' wire connected to the receive can isn't a glitch or a patch. It's a ground. It was purposely put there. Many types of radios have that. The 980 puts out anywhere from 2-3 watts AM straight out of the box, which will drive an RM Italy KL-203 amplifier nicely to around 100 watts.. You can disable that gawd-awful beep by following this procedure that is clearly outlined in the owners manual: "ANL/NB: Provides 3-way control of ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) or NB (Noise Blanker) features - ANL on, NB on, or both ANL and NB on or off. ANL reduces external noise. NB reduces interference from vehicle ignition systems. For models produced after 10/2015: Press and hold for one second to turn key beep tone on and off. Use this button to turn key beep on and off. Press and hold until BP ON or BP OFF displays." All that is required to clear up the audio is to peel the little stickyback 'pop' filter off the inside of the mic screen. Butchering the mic is unnecessary. The center pin on the power jack is not (and not supposed to be) connected to anything. You'll notice that there is only a red and black wire entering the radio. There is no middle conductor on either end of the jack. The center pin only serves as a locating pin to ensure the cord is not connected in reverse polarity. The trimmer pots are very fragile and their range of adjustment is very small. Without test equipment, you'll probably bugger the radio up worse than it came from the factory. It's built-in SWR meter is fairly accurate. There are brightness and contrast adjustments in the main menu. It isn't a software defined radio. It's a hardware defined radio. It's a software *programmed* radio. It's processor is on the display board. The 980 is probably *the* most frequency stable sideband rig ever made. You'll have to chase everybody else around with the clarifier, but the 980 stays rock steady on frequency. There is no drift whatsoever.
you must not have known that if you hold down the ANL/NB button for 3 to 5 sec, the beep cuts off.. i have the same radio. just press the ANL/NB BUTTON FOR 3 TO 5 SEC, AND THEIRS NO MORE BEEP... you dont have to open the radio to stop the beep.

Nice overview. I purchased the same radio about a week ago and have it paired with a 120" whip antenna. I use mine as a base station and have been making strong contacts at least 5 miles out.
awesome, I'm using a Wilson 5000 on my car, had about an 8-10 mile AM contact recently. I'm trying to make videos that I would have wanted to see before buying the radio, more to come!
In reference to his first criticism of the radio, about his concern that too much stress on the plug in the radio might loosen it. Having a stiffer strain relief on that end of the cord would actually put a lot more strain on that jack in the radio, so having a flimsy stress relief on that end of the court is actually decreasing the chances of the damage that he’s worried about. All the strain would be on the cord.
I bought the Galaxy 29 lx max the other day and traded it for my friends Bearcat 980 and I couldn’t be happier. In my opinion this is a good radio. My friend is trying to trade back guess he doesn’t like that new Cobra neither. Lmao I’m keeping the Bearcat. I swapped out the mic and connected with a Ranger noise canceling mic
I use the BC906W bluetooth wireless mic with my 980SSB. Works great together and I can walk away more than 50 feet and still communicate as if I was right at the radio.
Great radio as a base station, worst radio as a mobile unit, that screen washes out in daylight and the only color that comes close to being able to see is the dark green and even that’s still hard to see, but the radio as a performer is still a good radio.
Shux, I like a big meter. That was always my traditional complaint about most mobile radios; dinky, hard to read meters, particularly when in the vehicle where you can't get close to it. I'd like to have one of these. Nice features.
So I have had a few of your videos pointed at me and I just got around to actually looking. First things first.... it's not SDR. No FPGA either. It's a
Actually all you have to do is look to see if the screw is in the back of the radio, just above, and to the right of the coax connector. In the first edition there was a SWR bridge board screwed into the back there. In the newer models it was built right into the main board. No screw, new edition. Screw there, old edition. ;)
I have this rig and it is the Bomb on SSB and AM. The audio is super natrual. Add a Studio Mic and Mixing board and it talks like a Mark5. Works with low input amps. Used as a Base station for 120$ +- cant be beat.
I'm seeing a lot of problems with the visibility of the display as this radio ages. I've had three of them come by me that are very dim. Haven't found a fix for that yet.
Just bought the same radio and have had it hooked up for a week or so now . it receives really well but don't get out very well in my area. My swr is set to 1.3:1 on ch1 up to ch20 and 1.5:1 on ch21 and up . I'm still micro adjusting I guess you could say trying to get out a little better. So far on AM I'm getting out about 2 miles and ssb haven't had any response yet. I do have a lot of trees in my area and I'm sure that's playing a major roll in my modulation. I would like to crank it up a little bit just to push a bit more out.still new to the digital style radios so I'm not to confident about tinkering with it. If you have any suggestions I'm definitely open to them. But personally I've liked this radio so far. If you are able to point me in the right direction on which pot to adjust to turn it up a bit I'd greatly appreciate it.thanks for the video . 73's
mine has been there for about 3 years and I think the display might be getting a little more dim but other than that it's fine. that could just be age, unrelated to it getting roasted on my dash for 3 summers
The beeper doesn't seem so annoying until you watch a youtube video where the presenter is talking really low so my volume is turned up and then the radio beeps or audio checks BLARE thru my speakers and the other people around me give strange looks...
How do you like the radio now? Been looking and I like the weather and ssb USB and lsb. If none of that really matters I like the cobras. But I've never owned one. Just wondering what the best option is. Thanks.
It's been good. The weather is nice to toss on during my commute. The longest contact I've had was 14 miles on AM. I don't use sidebands much as there isn't much radio traffic on them where I am, but I tested them with another hobbyist and he said they sounded good.
Considering the one neighbor I have is about 3 miles away and nearest town over 30 miles away, I guess this isn’t the radio for me. Anyone have suggestions for a Newbie on rural living (mountain behind me and flat Mesa in front of me) radios w recommended power source and antenna for base station. I could use the help in deciding! Thanks.
I would recommend an old J.C. Penney's or Sears single side band. They can be modified really easy to go above channel 40 and below channel 1. They can also be modded to swing the transmitter with the clarifier, i.e., tie the transmitter frequency to the clairfier frequency. I have an old J.C. Penney's single side band phase locked loop radio and it works better than any radio made to date.
Galaxy SUCKS.The UNIDEN 980 is a nice radio & it sounds great on transmit & receive without any mods.I have spoken with several people who were using the 980 & all of them sounded great.I will buy one soon but it's not a priority since I already own over 65 CB radios.As long as the microphone cartridge is exposed that part is NOT blocking any audio.One more thing.How many times did you say,UM in this video? 35 or 40 or more UM? LOL
I just bought this like 8 months ago. I hear ppl far away. But no one hears me, is my mic toast? Or am I doing something wrong? I even hit the talkback button and couldn't hear myself
that's strange about the talkback - maybe the talkback volume is down? or, the mic is bad as you said, but the most likely issue is that people you can hear are using amplifiers. the CB frequencies are the wild west of radio. even though amps aren't legal, people use them a lot. so, it's possible the people you hear are far away and using hundreds of watts in their amps
I would recommend a marine radio for a boat, as marine radios will allow you to communicate with other mariners on the marine channels, which this radio doesn't have. marine radios are also much more powerful out of the box. if you want to add a CB in addition to a marine radio, I think it would work fine for a while but would ultimately succumb to corrosion (marine radios are designed for the environment to at least some extent). however this radio has lots of features for the money, such as weather channels and scan function which might be nice additions (marine radios usually come with weather stations already)
holy sweet jesus does anyone have some advil i've got a major headache from listening to your constant use of the word UM, want to hear about this radio but fell asleep from the UMS you use that i missed half the reveiw. is it possible for you to talk normal.
Looking at this 5 year's latter I would not recommend this Raido because of the face display fade's out over time so I'm recommend the President lincoln II THE NEW ONE. With mod's
I agree - mine has been fading as well. Mine is on the top of my dashboard so my first guess is that it's related to the heat of baking in the sun over time but that's just a conjecture.
good cheap radio,stable on SSB unlike the galaxy drifting junk. Not real powerful but that's what amp's are for. Throw a D-104 M6B on it and it talks good.
you won't get much more power out of it,just how it's designed.Be careful not to try to over tune it.You can get around 15 pep on SSB and about a 4 watt dead key and 8-9 watts swing on am.As for modulation don't touch the pot and just put a good power mic,not echo junk.
Daniel Kinsman intermittent problems are usually a wiring and/or power issue. That’s probably not helpful but it’s all I can offer for a remote diagnosis

I’ve got a stock cheap midland cb and 5 foot fire stick I live in Ct and talk to people in mass all the time I added a power mic I talk to guys with high power base units with my little barefoot cb! Gotta love it
Thank you for the video. But in future videos, please get to the point. You waste a ton of time on trivia and obvious stuff. Know your audience. We know more than you think. Telling us how to work a microphone clip is an example of what no one needs to have explained.

Any noise canceling mic will be better. I went with the Road Devil noise canceling power mic. It's absolutely amazing!
If I am not mistaken, it is a long push on the am/lab,usb button to disable beep. It’s a hidden feature
Agreed, the option wasn't included in the manual

The smaller gauge wire is fine. Little thing we call "tap rule". Because of the shortness the gauge can be significantly smaller without issues.
New to CB! Picked up this radio new for $60.00 with everything! The beep is annoying. But awesome radio! Ppl say I sound awesome! Thanks
Awesome score! 👍

Watch the video on MikesRadioRepair and he shows you can install a mod board that corrects several issues.
The slot on the plastic screws is for a penny or a quarter, a flat head will distort the plastic and damage it,

@AirSoftMaverick3232 I'm going to buy 980 'or 880' .. which version would you recommend?
Same radio except no SSB on 880.

They can also be modded to swing the transmitter with the clarifier, i.e., tie the transmitter frequency to the clairfier frequency. I have an old J.C.

What should your carrier on ssb be set at?
There is no carrier on single side band. The carrier is squelched and power is transmitted into the side band. AM has the carrier.

You should never use metal screw drivers to turn the pots.

I’ve got a stock cheap midland cb and 5 foot fire stick I live in Ct and talk to people in mass all the time I added a power mic I talk to guys with high power base units with my little barefoot cb! Gotta love it

Thank you for the video. But in future videos, please get to the point. You waste a ton of time on trivia and obvious stuff. Know your audience. We know more than you think. Telling us how to work a microphone clip is an example of what no one needs to have explained.
