Everyone see the Easter egg at the end? 🙂

I recommend the uniden pro 510xl, 520, and my hamshack has a 980 sitting at 38 lsb.. I often look at 38 lsb as a propagation beacon for 10 meters.

I worked at a CB/Stereo shop in 1976 thru 1978 as a kid. My handle was Bearcat after the first boxy radar detectors.

I don't do 11 meters but did back in the 70s before Ham radio. Anyway I shared this video to 56000 maybe they will look around your store and get into Ham Radio also. 73 de KB9HGI

Guys in Australia will like this video they wanted information on your CB radio

Very cool.

I ❤ CB Radio

The pc68xl has a mosfet transistor in it.

I've been licensed for over 20 years now and once in while you will other hams talk down CB. I understand where they're coming from, but I wouldn't necessarily discourage anyone from buying CB. True, the Amateur Radio Service requires an individual license, but having that license doesn't give anyone the right look down on Citizen Band FRS / GMRS or even MURS. The way we choose to communicate is our business as long as the FCC Rules and Regulations are followed in each service, who cares what radio service you use?. 73 DE K3JCP / WQAI363

We're full of surprises!

My parents bought me the Uniden AX144 in the 80s. They were a great radio. I still have it, but the NB doesn't work (bad caps I reckon) and signal meter has now seized. SSB CB is still the best range compared to UHF public bands (CB), radio to radio communications.

You guys ought to start stocking the line of President CBs. The President George FCC puts anything Uniden or Cobra, and the McKinley II FCC has am-fm-ssb just like the George.

We are not a CB store, so we sell CB radios and accessories that make sense for ham radio operators who also may want a CB.

I STILL HAVE AND USE MY LAFAYETTE TELSTAT SSB140 FROM 1977 AT MY HOME. AND A GALAXY 2547 IN MY OFFICE IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. I HOPE COBRA OR PRESIDENT MAKE A BASE WITH AM.FM. SSB.

Jeff is a guest on the channel and may or may not see your comment. Not sure which cable you're talking about, but good to know the intercom box exists for GMRS radios. While this video is about CB radios, we have a video on GMRS radios here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m61llcNxnLLMetY.html

The biggest barrier to people's entry into the radio hobby, is the fear of something being too difficult. Either the ham radio tests are too hard, or the antennas are too difficult to build or put together properly, or the radio is too difficult to use. If a radio is easy to operate, we'll tell you - even if we sound more like J.K. 🙂

Nice video do still sale the Radio shack tv antenna rotor do a video on one it's remote control it is good for the big cushcraft vhf beam antenna it may work for the A3s or the A4S beam antenna if a person don't have 50 miles hour wind the a3s or 4s are lite weights antenna

What models are all mode? AM SSB & FM?

Maybe demo the side band radio hook up a diepole put it on ch 38 lsb

The video is done! CB sideband sounds like ham radio sideband... just the content is different. ;-)

Can you please clarify to me what I am allowed to transmit on a CB ready without a license? The 40 original CB channels then how about upper and lower sideband, Am and FM channels in these radios. The Cobras and the Unidens that you are showing in this video can be used legally by the FCC without a license? I'm sorry to ask but back in the day all we could transmit on were the 40 CB channels only. Just requesting as I am reviewing these choices. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

You do not need a license to transmit on CB, using a CB radio. AM, FM, USB and LSB are all legal, as long as you are only using the 4 watts the radio outputs and are using an actual CB radio (not a modified ham radio). Just buy a CB and use whatever features it has. CB is voice only in the USA, no data modes allowed.

@@HamRadioOutlet Thanks I keep looking back at what is shown. Is there one that has all. CB, am , fm usb and LSB on the same radio? I have GMRS radios with a 30 amp power supply. Wanting to add additional communication without going to all the test and additional expense of Ham. Might you suggest a few options. This will be used as a base with my existing 30 amp 12VDC supply.

If you don't happen to have the RigExert analyzer in the vehicle with you, the SWR meter in the rig will still show you when there's a problem, and help you fix it. All ham rigs have SWR meters built in for exactly that purpose.

I was looking at purchasing a Bearcat 980SSB but after reading many reviews about the problem with the LCD display I have decided to wait. Do yo know if Uniden has rectified the problem with the LCD display on these units . Thanks for the great videos !!

Sorry, but I really have no idea. I do not believe we get many returns on any Uniden products, so... maybe? A Google search for "Bearcat 980SSB display problems" does not give many results in the past year. Some suggest that it's really an issue with choosing the right color of the background LCD for the time of day/night.
