## Questions & Answers

**Q: I asked if it was 100% new or a refurb and you deleted the question. I am now processing a refund/return on this item. Thanks for being a legit seller**
A: Yeah, and Bearcat 980ssb is listed from five sellers for over $525 here 
But is $229 to $240 everywhere else
Got mine from a "K" close out, $139 brand new in early 2020

**Q: can you use this CB in the house**
A: Yes. You will require -1) An regulated power supply that converts AC electricity to DC. The voltage you want is a constant 13.8 VDC (not 12 volts, you won't get full power) and which can supply a minimum of 5 amps under load.2) Do NOT press the microphone button until all steps have been completed.3) You will need to mount an external CB antenna at least 9' above the roof line. If you use a mast, it must be guyed every 10' above the last (highest) physical attachement to the house.4) You will need to properly ground the antenna mast to a copper clad ground rod (between 4' and 10' long depending on soil conductivity for your location dry sand: bad: 10' / wet rich soil: excellent: 4')5) You will need to properly ground the chassis of the CB to the exact same point that the mast is grounded to on the grounding rod. This is the step that most radio noobies skip. DON'T skip it.6) It is highly suggested you purchase a ground shunt (static discharge) for your coax; and yes, connect it to the same exact spot on the grounding rod.7) Try and purchase the highest quality 50-ohm coax you can afford. If you can afford Timesmicrowave LMR-400, then that would be your best bet. Try not to use coax more then a few feet longer than you need, and beyond that always allow 2 extra feet for a 'drip loop' at the bottom just before where it comes into the house.8) Wrap the PL-259 connectors with weatherproof coax tape to seal the connections from rain/snow/condensation. If you want to overkill it, then put a shrink wrap tube over the top of the tape.9) Secure the coax GENTLY but securely every 3 feet along the mast. A UV-resistant piece of flexable plastic 2" wide by 6"long wrapped around the coax and the mast (all at once) and secured with UV-resistant tie-wraps would be a good idea.10) Calibrate your 980SSB's internal SWR meter and then check you antenna system SWR to make sure it is less than 1.5:1 (mine is 1.0:1, a perfect match). If required (never use beyond 3:1), 'trim' your antenna to get a better SWR (most don't require trimming).11) Sometimes a CB antenna will require a physical ground plane at the antenna base; but most of the times in a base setup, not.12) Re-read your Uniden BC980SSB manual to make sure nothing has been missed in your setup.

**Q: I know this might sound stupid, but I am looking to get this for my Husband (a truck driver).  What do sidebands do?  When would you use this?  Just wondering if I should get him this one or the 880...  Thanks!**
A: If your husband wants or needs a radio capable of operating on sidebands, this is NOT radio for him.  You would need to get the 980 model rather than this 880 model.  Normally truckers operate on AM mode rather than sideband.  However a few truckers who have Sideband capable radios will use sideband when they get further apart or can't get a good signal on AM.  But the majority don't use sideband.

**Q: Where is the speaker located on this model?  On the underside?  I tried looking at the manual, but it does not specify it...**
A: Yes underside. And it does muffle the sound when placed flush with a surface. Mine is mounted using heave velcro on my dash because I didn't want to drill holes in my SUV. But is a great radio. I have made contacts with England using ssb and a wilson 1000 mag antenna.
