Static Charge Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hello all, I am an old time CBer from the 80's. I decided to get into it again as now I am retired and have some extra time on my hands. I went out and bought 2 Uniden 980SSB radios, put one in my truck and I set the other up as a base. The base is using an Antron 99 antenna at about 200 feet elevation. I am close to the highest elevation in my area, so I have pretty good reach. 73s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Static Charge Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks all for the kind welcome. 2WR2575_Ron I am liking the 980 so far mine is only putting out 3.5 watts but the modulation is very close to 100% 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
