User questions & answers

Question:	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
Answer:	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.
Question:	can you use this CB in the house
Answer:	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.
Question:	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
Answer:	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.
Question:	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
Answer:	I ordered and paid for a NEW Bearcat 980SSB from gadget-town and got a refurb/used item. If you check that seller's 100% positive reviews you will find others have had the same experience, yet Amazon has crossed out those reviews and returned the seller's 100% positive rating. Take that as you will.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the PA output and speaker impedance
Answer:	PA outputstands for public address... in other words it patches your mic to a speaker mounted on the exterior of the vehicle to allow you to address the public.
Question:	Is this a good cb for a cb beginner
Answer:	You probably don't need something this expensive to start with but why not just do it once and be done, love mine so far, very compact compared to my old president sideband
Question:	Uniden bc980ssb or president mckinley, reasonable to spend twice as much or $100 more
Answer:	I have owned both. Uniden lasted 6 months, it couldn't take the vibration in my Jeep. I replaced it with the President McKinley and I am very satisfied with the change
Question:	does internal swr meter work well or do i need a seperate meter to tune it correctly
Answer:	Measuring using internal SWR and external SWR, both measurements are equivalent to almost identical. But the internal SWR meter has a feature where it produces continuous sound when the measurement is 1.0/1.0, and it produces discontinuous beeps when measurement is not 1.0/1.0. This is an excellent feature from President, it does not require to read the display when tuning the antenna length for SWR. No, an external SWR is not needed, should not waste money for one

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the actual dimesions of this radio
Answer:	You don't 'sync' this product. You convert your playlist into a .m3u file and then drag and drop the .m3u and the audio you want added to the device. http://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/103755.pdf If you begin on page 14 of the manual it explains it in detail. The worst part of this is that you need to have the files you want in the same folder, and moving them can be tedious if you have a large audio library. If you do some searching, there are programs that will help you do this much faster.So I wouldn't say that it "doesn't sync" so much as you have to "manually sync" by dragging and dropping.
Question:	looking around for cb and ust wondering if this will pick up high band and low band the radio i have has a switch for high and low
Answer:	I'm not sure, but I can describe the setup. There are two main navigation buttons - the main center button and the back button, which are also the only ones that are raised. The screen that shows the category (music, radio, settings, books, sport) also shows a navigation arrow on either side to indicate that you can hit the right and left arrows to move through the categories. The back button switches between the active screen and the category screen. Within a category, you can only navigate with the up and down arrows to choose a subcategory (artists, albums, songs) or an actual song/file to play, and you choose that by hitting the main central button. There are no onscreen indicators that you should move up and down, and if you go side to side instead you don't necessarily end up back right where you started. The central button is also the on/off switch if you hold it down for a few seconds. Worst case, randomly hitting the two main buttons generally eventually takes you wherever you want to go.So yes, it's fairly simple because there aren't a lot of choices, which means that if you get totally lost, you can just keep hitting the same couple of buttons and can eventually move around. But it can also be a little frustrating if you get caught in a category-song screen loop (if you keep hitting the same button over and over), or if you navigate right-left when you should be going up-down and end up in a different screen. The other "catch" is that the back button also functions as a lock if you hold it down a few seconds. Then a padlock appears on the screen, and then navigation is impossible (it's there to keep the song from stopping or switching if you accidentally bump the unit against anything, which is easy to do because it's a sensitive button). To unlock, you have to hit the back button, then hold it again for a few seconds. It tells you how to do so on screen ("press and hold back to unlock"), but I find it always takes me a couple of attempts to get the unlock to "take" and actually unlock it. Another issue is physical ease of use. The entire unit is SMALL. The entire unit is 2 1/4 inches tall, and the screen is 1 inch square. I can cover the entire navigation area with my thumb. So if dexterity or arthritis is an issue, the person might be better off with a larger player like the Fuze+. However, it does have the two raised buttons and the other arrows are arranged around it, so you can control it by feel more easily than on something like a full touchscreen or the Fuze+ (that is all a solid smooth surface). The text onscreen is sans serif and a thin weight, which makes it easier to read, but the size is about the same as the small text on a nutrition label on a loaf of bread, and can't be enlarged. The other issue is loading music onto it. In one sense, it's very easy. You plug it into your computer, open the folder, and click and drag music you want over to its folder. However, you can NOT make playlists. The only way to do playlists is complicated and involves reorganizing your music on your actual computer, converting it to a different format in WMP, and then loading it in, and I have never had that work right. An ipod is much easier from that aspect, since you plug it in and it automatically updates/refreshes/syncs anything you have. Podcasts take me about 15 minutes to update every week, because I have to update them in MediaMonkey, then manually transfer each new episode to the Sansa, then find them because they're mixed in with songs. If listening to podcasts is a priority, or having playlists is a priority, I would NOT get this player. But if you just want to listen to music, and want to listen to it per album, it is fine and easy to use that way.
Question:	Does this come with mounting bracket
Answer:	I have not tried it but 32GB should not be an issue since it was already accepted in the clip zip. Unless their firmware really cockup. Better to read the reviews if anyone is complaining about this.
Question:	Properly set up what sort of range , in miles, could i expect .? in usb or lsb
Answer:	The amount of memory you can add is not the most relevant answer, it would seem. After purchasing I have discovered that the device is limited to reading 2000 files on the SD card. Figuring an average of 5 Mb / song, 10 Gb is about the most I can actually utilize, unfortunately. If I had known this before buying I would have purchased a different device.
Question:	What will cause this mic to make your radio not revive hook it up straight out the box and it’s like it’s staying keyed up
Answer:	Yes it does. You can even turn it sideways and use it as a stand.
Question:	Does this microphone 4-pin has a elbow-shaped connector
Answer:	I find that wiping it down with a tiny bit of dishsoap on damp sponge does the trick.
Question:	Is is metal or just chrome plated plastic
Answer:	Hi. Just work for ipad air first generation
Question:	Will this match my Galaxy 48T
Answer:	Yes the belt clip comes off
Question:	what is the warranty
Answer:	Sorry I’m not sure but I do like the product
Question:	Is this the international version of the R6 Pro
Answer:	No second piece all one piece. I think they are showing front and back of the case
Question:	On this site there are 3 different R5s and I can't tell the differences. Would someone please educate me
Answer:	It is NOT come with a screen protector as the upper edge provide 3mm higher to protector the screen. Actually, the case is only fit for iPod touch 5/6th, NOT fit for an iPhone 6/6S.
Question:	Does this support tidal offline listening? Thanks
Answer:	It is possible that a Popsocket would stick to the case, it seems to be somewhat like a rubber type of case so that could be a concern. Sorry don't have definitive answer but the cost to find out is not too much.. :-)

User questions & answers

Question:	How large of a metal ground plane (diameter of a metal disc) do I need to provide for a non-metal mounting on my Corvette (composite panels
Answer:	I would say at least 6 inches. Seems to work good for me
Question:	Will the 15w version still be able to operate at 5w for the frs channels
Answer:	If you operate a radio that has been approved for both FRS and GMRS, and if you limit your operations to the FRS channels with a maximum power of ½ watt effective radiated power and an integral antenna, you are not required to have a license. (Note that some dual-service radios transmit with higher power on FRS channels 1 through 7; these radios can be used without a license only on FRS channels 8 through 14.)
Question:	Do you need a license to use this
Answer:	Yes. A GMRS license is required to transmit on this radio. It is $70 for a 10 year license. You need to purchase from FCC. This is not a HAM radio so a HAM license will not work.
Question:	Is this a CB
Answer:	No, it’s a 2-way radio that utilizes a different frequency band than C.B.’s. These are GMRS radios which by law you are supposed to have a license from the FCC to operate. The license is not hard to get. It’s a 10 year license for you and your immediate family that cost $70. Which averages out to $7 dollars a year. There is no test, you just go on line and register then submit your fee. I did mine on a Saturday night and it was approved on Monday.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need a license to operate a CB radio
Answer:	No, not in the USA for a CB.
Question:	Is the antenna coax cable included
Answer:	No, it's the radio and microphone. The antenna and coax are separate components you would need to buy to fit your particular installation needs.
Question:	Newbie here with these radios. What is the range distance one can reach with this specific unit? Thanks
Answer:	It really depends on the terrain and the amount of radio interference in your area. With a properly tuned antenna in relatively flat terrain you should be able to get at least six miles probably more. I'm assuming your asking about mobile and not base use.
Question:	Does the radio stay on the same channel when turned on and off
Answer:	When the radio is set to a CB channel it returns to that channel after being switched off then back on. If set to a weather channel it jumps back to CB after switching off then back on.

For kayak fishing, you can cast the transducer as far as you can and you can also fix the transducer to the boat hull, so that the fish finder could detect the fish wherever the kayak goes.
Question:	The first 100 watts are the most critical but this only puts out 50. Has anyone squeezed anymore out of it
Answer:	Yes, you can use this portable fish finder on the boat.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the radio have a 12v plug or does it need to be wired up
Answer:	And no there is no 12v plug or anything. Just has a positive and negative for wiring to your power supply of your choosing. And yes to needing to be wired up which is easier than you think.
Question:	If I wanted to hook this CB up to the cigarette lighter socket, what kind of cord do I need to purchase
Answer:	The CB has two wires built in so all you would need is a cigarette lighter socket adapter and wire it up. The wires are about 4' long so you should have no problems where you mount it. The wiring is very easy - that's the set up I have so I can unplug and remove the CB when I'm just driving around locally.
Question:	Do i need to buy and antenna for this? Or does it come with one
Answer:	It needs an antenna regardless? There is no internal one? Is it ok to leave the small antenna inside the vehicle? Like in the trunk or glove box?
Question:	What is frequency output range?what is the wattage
Answer:	The 520XL can also be taken to any CB shop and be "peaked and tuned" to over double the factory power. This is a very common practice that any trucker will do with his/her CB. This radio, peaked and tuned will deliver 8.5-9.0 watts with 17-18 watt peaks. This is more than twice the factory (legal) power, and adds significant range and clarity to your radio. As far as I am aware, there are no other compact radios on the market with the ability to be peaked and having the RF gain control in a compact unit is AWESOME. This radio is a gem. Buy it, peak it, love it.
