## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello. I am looking to buy this for my husbands 1998 Jeep cherokee XJ..Will this be good for that? And also what other parts are needed?**
A: Hello, yes this is a nice radio that would be fine in that vehicle.With this said, along with the radio you will need the following items:Cigarette lighter 2 wire power cord, magnet mount antenna. These items can be bought on Amazon or you can get them at a truck stop.I recommend Amazon because of a lower price and free shipping and the secret nature of being able to hide your purchase if it's a surprise gift.Truck spec is a cheap brand for the 2 wire power cord and for the antenna I recommend one of the following: K40, Wilson 1000 or the Wilson 3000 magnet mount antennas.Those come with the antenna wire already attached to the magnet and all he would do is run the wire through the hatch or the rear door after mounting the antenna on the roof. It's really easy to do. Just hide the wire under floor mats and beside the seat up to the dashboard to the CB.Now if you are looking for a better radio and easier to use right out of the box, I recommend Galaxy or Connex as these are rock solid and all the knobs are right there on the front of the radio unlike this modern radio with most of the adjustments in menus which made me feel like I had to relearn everything over again. I prefer direct access.This Uniden Bearcat 980 has an annoying beep sound every time you change the channel. Those two other brands of radios I mentioned are more expensive but are what the big boys in my industry use in their big rigs. You should be able to compare the features of the Bearcat 980 with those of a Galaxy or a Connex CB and go on that alone to match up what you want. I read the other two answers you got, Why did they even bother...I hope this helps and as always just ask if you need more info.

**Q: Does it have a three pin plug or is a two pin for power connection?**
A: Hello,It's a 3 pin plug.A great radio all around!Hope this helps.

**Q: Is this radio Double-Din sized? I see alot of pictures with it on the radio slot, or was that just a lucky fit?**
A: This radio will fit in a double din with a single din radio with modification. It will not just slide into the slot. I have it in my ford f250s  dash. I had to modify the double din brackets extensively with a dremel tool but it was not too difficult and only too about an hour. That being said it is doable because it is close to the same size as a single din radio, but it will not be as easy as it is to slide a radio into a din slot.**I have attatched pictures of it installed on my review of this product below*

**Q: Does it come with the power adapter, if not could someone point me in the right direction for a non lighter solution?**
A: It comes only with a wire lead to connect to the vehicles 12 volt system or you will need to by a separate 13.8v power supply with at least 4 amps to use this radio as a base station. I say 4 amps because on SSB 12 watt operation the radio will perform at its best, Also it is not suggested to connect the radio using a cigarette lighter, for maximum operation and vehicle noise from such as alternator it should be connected direct to battery soldering all connections.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great radio - great performance and looks.
*by W***R on March 16, 2013*

I've been a Uniden fan for a long time. I have never had a bad Uniden radio. It was time to upgrade my old badly abused Uniden for my new vehicle and am happy to report that these new Unidens are even better! I was able to match the display colors to my existing displays in my vehicle, lots and lots of color choices. The performance has been great, and the speaker on the unit should be loud enough for most enclosed vehicles. Sound quality is very good compared to most CB radios. Very easy to use controls, and the scanning feature is handy.This radio is very close to a standard DIN size, but just a bit larger in all dimensions. I really wish Uniden had made this a DIN sized case with DIN mounts for easy dash mounting. I was able to mount mine into a modified DIN space. I'll try to upload a photo. I just opened up the front DIN face a bit in all 4 dimensions, and it hangs out a bit further than ideal, but is fine. The bottom firing speaker is plenty loud even installed in the center counsel. Very nice to have a built in SWR meter and various gain controls.Very happy with this radio and recommend it to friends.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome unit! Make sure you get a good antenna ...
*by R***N on March 1, 2015*

Awesome unit! Make sure you get a good antenna and tune it.Below is my review(part of it) from a midland handheld about CB wavelength. Figured I would post it here for some tips.-- From midland handheld reviewA few people commented on the poor transmission/reception. CB band does not transfer well into handhelds in general. FCC used to allow 5 watts then lowered it to 4 watts.4 Watts is not a lot power especially on the 27MHz AM bands. (12 watts for SSB is allowed).Radio performance is pretty simple: Power and the antenna. The technology has not changed in decades and its all the same radio principal so performance from one handheld to another should have little to do with the unit itself but rather the antenna. The 27 MHz band is pretty low and generates a fairly large wavelength. Full antenna required would be on the size on 36 feet long, ½ wave 17 feet and ¼ 8 feet. On autos with the large ground plane there is a compromise and a 36"-48" whip works well. For a handheld CB to pack all that in a small antenna does not work well at all. Back in the day the old CB handhelds had 6' retractable antennas.This is a great unit and works great for CB knowing the inherit limitations of the 27 MHz band. If you are looking for a handheld to talk to another handheld look in the FRS/GMRS band radios which start at 462 MHz. The wavelengths are much shorter and a full antenna is 2 feet, 1/s wave 1 foot and ¼ 5 Inches. So you have pack a true ¼ wave antenna on the unit.Cellphones could never work without being in the UHF and above bands so they can generate the smaller wave with a small antenna.I think this is a lot of value for the money with all the options, etc. Feels solid in your hand and I like it a lot!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent full-featured unit / Near 1-DIN Size!
*by T***E on March 17, 2023*

I bought this radio to put into my 80's Toyota, under my stock-sized 1-DIN deck.With MINOR trimming to the bezel with a dremel and some very light fabrication, it fit PERFECTLY into the lower radio spot.Originally, I bought this radio for this reason, and only required the WX-band feature and knew nothing about Uniden radios (I've always bought and been satisfied with Cobra's 29 series)This unit has changed my perspective 100%, however. Price point, quality, and features put it squarely in the quality range of the 29-LX series radios with far easier to use features and benefits, while being cheaper as of Q2 / 2023. Notable is the 4-pin to 5-pin handset adapter included, and the built in SWR/CAL features.Without being peaked/tuned, I'm getting about 5mi of range off a 3" Firestik/Firering combo with a SWR of 1:3. All with an install that looks near-factory optioned.If you're considering it, buy one.
