Now that is funny. Seriously though, for the money there isn't a radio that compares to it for CB/SSB use. Yes there are radios that will do more power on AM and SSB, but most drift like heck. That 980 is a rock solid radio on SSB and doesn't drift. And they are a clean and clear radio. You can always add an amp after you get the rest of your setup complete and working at its best.
Like I said, the 980 is a great radio to start your system out with. Now get a good antenna setup and you'll really be hooked LOL! Have a good one. And have fun DX'ing. Haven't been on in a while. Guess I need to turn my radio on more often!!!


I'm just a CB'er, what do I know???
