Static Charge 7 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Static Charge 7 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
