Uniden answers the call to provide a more advanced CB radio with the new Bearcat 880. This radio has a fresh design and is unlike anything Uniden has produced in the past. At first look, you'll notice the massive color LCD display dominating the radio's face. This display has seven different color options and shows the CB channel, frequency, digital SRF and SWR meters, and other radio functions.
The Uniden 880's features don't stop there. Weather stations, scanning and alerts keep you informed of current conditions and severe weather situations. The radio check diagnostic feature provides information on RF power, antenna condition and battery voltage. Other functions include a PA (public address) mode, antenna warning indicator, RF gain, channel memory and instant channel 9/19. If you want a feature-packed CB radio with an impressive design and stunning display, the Uniden 880 is a great choice.

Great Radio. Awesome Features. Worth the money!
Review by Scrabble -
I've had this radio for approximately 1 month now. I have it set up on my 2007 Dakota Quad Cab, paired up with a K40 5' whip. Setup works very well. Reception is spotty in some more congested areas, such as around buildings, houses, power lines, and malls where I live, but that is to be expected. Once you can separate yourself (partly) from a bulk of that interference, the reception (thanks mostly to the antenna) is outstanding. It was rainy, sleet and snowy conditions here a few days ago, and I was still able to pick someone up 15 miles away like they were right next to me. And they heard me perfectly fine as well.Overall Rating
Anyway, with the radio, love the large digital display; very easy to read at a quick glance. It has some issues with sun glare, but where it is mounted (on floor between driver and pass seats, between seats and cup holder area) I expected as much. The ability to change colors for day and night driving does seem to help a bit though. I have it set personally to the blue, approximately half bright for night and full white (sometimes yellow) for day. Weather channels are awesome. I travel all over the mid west for personal reasons (family and friends) and am very anxious to use out on the highway on one of those trips. I'm usually by myself, so having this to know about speed traps, accidents, and other road conditions from truckers offers me more peace of mind. Plus, its a way to stay awake and entertained. I know this has been a somewhat scattered review, but all in all, this radio is as advertised. Great sound quality, both transmitted and received, easy to use, easy to read display, and nice bonus features such as the colors, weather, and scan. Highly recommend this unit, also the K40 (even though I should say that on a K40 review.) Enjoy, and safe travels! (Posted on January 16, 2013)

Out with the old; In with the new
Review by Pathfinder2 -
I bought the 880 Bearcat right when I came out and haven't had any problems with it. It's user friendly and the bigger screen is nice. I like it cause there's only a couple of nobs vs some radios with many nobs. Surface mount technology is the next wave in CB radios. I can hear roughly 20 miles ahead of me while driving vs my old Convex at maybe 10 miles. They make a wireless mic for this radio (haven't tried it yet). All in all this is a very strong, nice looking radio an a cool looking chrome mic. (Posted on January 1, 2013)Overall Rating

Excellent new design
Review by Rex -
Having been around CB since the 70s, I'm glad to finally see an updated design like this. I paired this radio with a Wilson 1000 trunk mount and it performed flawlessly on both transmit and receive. The person traveling with me in the other car reported that the audio was clear and strong. The scan feature worked well, and weather radio reception was good (have not tried the weather alert feature yet). The display is the big selling point and is a big step forward for CB design, especially since so many radios continue to rely on a design that has barely changed in the past 30 years. It can sometimes be a little hard to read if the sun shines on the radio at the wrong angle, but is otherwise readable in daylight or night. I especially like the color options and the ability to switch to "night" mode for after-dark driving. So far I am very pleased with this radio and am looking forward to another trip with it.

Bearcat 880 CB Radio
Review by Snowdawg -
I have one and was never so disapointed in this radios performance. It has issues with the mic gain. Does not stay on and the weather /radio CB warning does not work. I was totally pissed off . This radio only worked well for two weeks then problems started poping up. A total waste of money. I should've listened and bought the connex radio instead. My CB radio shop said he wont even sell the Bearcat 880. Don't waste your hard earned money. (Posted on April 23, 2012)Overall Rating
