Uniden BEARCAT 880 CB Radio with 40 Channels and Large Easy-to-Read 7-Color LCD Display with Backlighting, Backlit Control Knobs/Buttons, NOAA Weather Alert, PA/CB Switch, and Wireless Mic Compatible

Great radio for vehicles that have limited areas to mount, I installed mine in a 2001 Cherokee. These are small in size in comparison to others but have many of the features I was looking for in a CB. The lighting is bright and the letters are large and with a 102 whip antenna this thing reaches out. The vendor was fast shipping and arrived very well packaged. The only reason for a 4 star is no radio is perfect.

i love the radio it shipped really quick its easy to use the hardest part was figuring out were i wanted to put it in my truck so it wouldnt be in the way only complaint is that its failing the antenna check now but i dont know if its the radio or the antenna set up either way i would highly recoment this one i think its the best bang for the buck

I have owned one for over 3 years. When I needed another one for a different vehicle I bought the exact model.

Liked product.

2 stars I gave this product for the box which also seemed damp. First of all this is for the 880. Not 980 Amazon puts all the reviews together so beware. Confusing to buyer. Product was made in vianetam rather than china where most of them are made almost felt like dummy model the front was a scratched a little but had some wrap on the plate but was missing full wrap as far as shipping as to you tube videos and how there packed I put it write back in the box and bought elsewhere theres a reason amazon is cheaper on products not trustworthy and can send out bad merchandise thats either fake or used new with issues. Quality control stinks packing stinks amazon u will loose money trying to save money it will catch up.

Out of the box I couldnt get a radio check at all the truck stop at the base of the grape vine. When I got to Vegas, I saw my cb guy Irishman, and for 40 bucks he made is awesome. Works great, he pulled out stuff on the mic and opened the unit and added some stuff and POW it is excellent. So plan on upgrading when you get one.

Out of the box it was great. The the display started to dim and menus were unreadable within a year. Its under warranty so sent it in. After a month or so received it back with a working display with really bright colors. Yea, great its working again. Now almost a year later parts of the display have stop showing. No meter display and the channel display is intermittent. I had a Cobra before this without issue. This is my first Uniden. So not great.

Overall I like the CB. The only thing I do not like is during the daylight, I cannot see the display, but night time is great. If I had it to do over again, I would probably go with a more traditional CB. I do like all of the features though!

Awesome, works great

5 Year Update! - So youre looking for a long term use update, I got it for you. Radio has worked this entire time, the stock microphone cord finally dry rotted (baking in sun no doubt), so I got an Astatic 636l which I am told sounds absolutely amazing compared to the stocker. What has broke: The only thing that has broke and I say that loosely is at the channel side of the lcd screen I can definitely tell that its faded out on the last few mm (yes millimeters) very little but I can definitely tell it has faded out. Other than that, the radio seems to work now just like it did all those years ago when it was new. I would most likely buy one of these again unless something that looks cooler comes along and works OK. I would advise buying a new mic though if you care about that at all, otherwise the stock mic is still fine. This is the end of the 5 year update, original update is below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first CB radio so take my comments with a bit of inexperience. The knobs feel sturdy, the buttons feel sturdy, The good: Looks Sturdy Changes color Comes with mount bracket, and mic holder Cons/other The SWR meter that is built in, I dont know how close to being right it is... when I first tested without trimming the antenna it was high, over two on some channels. I pulled it out around 1/4 inch, and now its basically perfect 1:1 on every channel, with a very small variation sometimes like 1.1. I needed a radio that looked modern and would assist me in interstate travels, this has already proven itself. UPDATE: 10 months of use I have been using the BC daily for the last 10 months, first with a little wilson antenna which did a nice job, but I moved up to a Wilson 1000 which does a better job. The radio still works great, everything still works and I have not had an issue with it, no do I have any complaints (this is a big deal). I did send my Bearcat in to be peaked and tuned and is now swinging 30 watts on the bird meter with a 6 watt dead key. It has continued to work fantastic with daily use and has not failed me. I wish I could nit pick and find something that annoys me in daily use but I cant think of any. Unimportant cons LCD viewing angle is not friendly if mounted on the side of the center console.... but again there is little to no reason to ever look at it, you can see it fine at night also. The beep when you turn the knob, again this only happens if you turn a knob or hit a button (the volume knob and squelch DO NOT beep). I rarely change channels, and the only time I hear the beep is if I change from day to night. Its really not annoying. Random pros The mic sounds good for stock, have had no complaints.
