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

I have been driving truck for many years and have always leaned more toward Uniden Cb radios then the Cobras both are great radios but just personal preference but this latest cb radio from uniden the Bearcat 880 is fine piece of crap I was excited to see such a cool looking radio something that looked modern and crisp from this century other then the classic 70s style theyve all had for years but dont let the cool looks and neat features be deceiving its just a gimmick to get you to buy this junk Ive tried 2 of these one from Amazon and one directly from Uniden and theyre both junk and the one from Amazon actually did power up but that was about it no reception and no transmission at all just basically a pretty lit up brick I guess Ill keep my old 70s style barefoot uniden pc 78 ltw it might not be the most attractive radio but at least I can talk for 5 to 7 miles on it kudos to Amazon for the excellent A 1 service not their fault that this cb radio is a POS

Good like most Uniden products. Unfortunately if dash mounted you cant read the display during the afternoon. I would have preferred a standard unit (model 68) after seeing how bad it is.

This is my second one first one the display went out but was over 4 years old so I did not want to change brackets in jeep so I bought another

Purchased the bearcat 880 for mainly traveling was happy about the purchase havent played with cb radios in years hooked the unit up to a Wilson 1000 antenna which was purchased new also the bearcat 880 wouldnt calibrate at all to make a long story short bought a cobra 29 pluged it and everything thing worked perfectly

Not a good product

Impossible to see the display in daylight

Ive been a galaxy fan all my life but I really enjoy this radio.crystal clear sound nice colors on LCD,,and receive farther distances than any cobra 29 Ive ever had awesome radio for money

Nice CB to have in your truck

so I purchased and installed with no issues. Tuned the antenna and it works great. My issue is the LED display. There are several colors that you can choose from on the display, yet none of them seem bright enough during day light hours, to the point that Im unable to see what channel the CB is on, run diagnostics, or monitor the weather channel I want - again, because I cant see the display. This unit is just over 4 months old and Uniden will not honor their 1 year warranty as it was sold by a third party. Ive reached out to Amazon and Im waiting to see if they will replace this unit. More to follow....

We bought two of these in March of 2019. Out of the box the displays were way to dim to be readable in normal daylight conditions. One of the two has had the display fail all for a small corner. These units have been well cared for and theres no reason a cb should have this sort of issue. Its not like we are launching the space shuttle here. Its just a radio. The same unit that has no display just recently stopped transmitting and now only receives. Needless, to say I am shopping for a replacement and I wont wast money on another Uniden product.
