Uniden Bearcat BC880
The Bearcat BC880 is the most impressive radio in the new CB lineup. This radio has an host of features including NOAA weather, radio diagnostics, and variable talkback. While these features are great the most stunning feature has to be the massive display. The new LCD display takes up the majority of the radios face and easily displays all the information the CB user needs to see. Additionally there are seven different display colors to choose from so you can customize the look of your CB however you like. The new radio also features a 6 pin mic which is compatible with the new wireless CB microphones. Also if you own a nice aftermarket 4 pin mic you will be able to use it with the 880 as the radio includes a 6 pin to 4 pin adapter. The Uniden BC880 CB radio will be available in December and will retail for $149.95.
Uniden Bearcat BC680
The Uniden BC680 features a large LCD display and only two adjustment dials giving the radio a very sleek and simple look. Transmission and reception signal strength are shown on the display along with the operating channel.

This radio also includes a 6 pin ergonomic pistol grip mic and gives the user the opportunity to upgrade to a wireless mic if desired. The BC680 will also be released in December and will retail for only $89.95.
Uniden Bearcat PRO505XL
In addition to Uniden’s other new radios they brought to market a very high value radio in the Bearcat PRO505XL.

As we mentioned in our November post RightChannelRadios.com is now helping equip its customers with VHF marine radios, VHF antennas, and other marine accessories. Along with this new offering we have launched a new blog Marineradiochannel.com. This will be a source for consumers to learn about VHF marine radio operation, installation, and VHF radio products. Please visit Marineradiochannel.com and become part of RightChannelRadios.com’s marine radio community!
Right Channel Radios would like to welcome VHF Marine Radios to its product line! CB radios have always been and will continue to be RCR’s core business but we are excited to help boaters receive the same great service we provide to CB users. This is a natural step for Right Channel as VHF marine radios are similar to CB radios in many ways.
VHF Marine Radios
The VHF Radio is standard equipment on almost all watercraft that is navigating large bodies of water. The VHF Radios primary use is to communicate with other watercraft, monitor weather, and send or respond to emergency signals. VHF Radios power range is typically between 1 and 25 watts and operates in the frequency range of 156 MHz to 174 MHz. Similar to CB’s VHF Radios utilize multiple channels many of which are designated for specific uses. Channel 16 and 9 are the emergency channels which are monitored by the United States Coast Guard 24 hours a day. VHF radios are available in either fixed mount or handheld versions.
VHF Antennas
VHF Antennas operate similar to CB antennas. In order for the antenna to be effective the tip must be in an open area free from obstructions. The most significant difference between Marine VHF antennas and CB antennas is that marine antennas do not need to be tuned. The Marine radio antenna is much more of a plug and play product as all you need to do is mount the antenna and attach the coax to the radio and you are ready to broadcast.
Marine Antenna Mounts
There are a variety of VHF antenna mounts that allow the boater to attach the antenna to flat surfaces, curved surfaces, rails, and vertical walls. Many Marine Antenna Mounts feature ratchets and allow the user to quickly lay the antenna down. Most VHF antennas are made of either nylon or stainless steel and have different antenna height and weight capacities. Marine Antennas are easy to install and operate.

It’s been an exciting week for new radios! First the impressive Midland 1001 LWX radio, and now this. Coming in October 2010 is the new Cobra 29 LX LE CB Radio, a limited edition radio from Cobra to celebrate the Company’s 50th Year Anniversary.
This radio isn’t being released until October 2010, but from the initial specs it looks like it will be a very popular item. Most notable about the new CB is the MASSIVE color display. It is apparently customizable via your choice of 4 different colors. The display takes up the majority of the radio’s face and provides information on all radio functions. The radio includes weather as well as channel scanning, which is a welcome surprise and not a feature that is available on any of the available Cobra 29 models.
As expected, the usual features such as PA, RF Gain, Delta Tune and others can be found on the radio. While we’re still a few months away, we’ll be anxiously awaiting the radio’s release! For full details and specs, please see our product page for the Cobra 29 LXLE on the Right Channel Radios website.
Midland has recently released their new Midland 1001LWX CB radio, which takes the popular Midland 1001z and improves upon it in a number of ways:
We’re excited about this new Midland CB for a number of reasons, most notably the incredible feature set at such a low price. At $59.95 ($49.95 after mail in rebate), there aren’t any other radios on the market with a feature set that includes weather, PA, RF gain and a digital display anywhere near this price point. Additionally, the radio comes in a very small package for easy installation in the most cramped of vehicles.
We’re excited to be carrying this new CB radio from Midland, and expect it will be very popular! You can check out the full details by visiting the Right Channel Midland 1001LWX product page.
We’ve been meaning to create a complete Pickup Truck CB package, and we’ve finally done it! The new Right Channel Cobra 29 LTD Pickup Truck Package contains everything needed for an easy CB install on your truck.
The package is built around the Cobra 29 series, the most popular radios on the market. All six popular version of the Cobra 29 are available with this package, including models with Nightwatch, Weather and Bluetooth functionality.
A Firestik FS antenna is included with the kit. As the most popular fiberglass antenna with pickup trucks today, this was an easy choice.
What we’re really excited about is the diverse mounting options available. The kit includes more than a dozen mounting options, including proprietary mounts for Ford, Chevy and GMC, Dodge and Toyota trucks! We provided as many choices as possible to make it more likely you’ll get the perfect fit with your specific truck make and model.
Finally, the kit also includes an easily routeable Firestik Fire-Ring coax connection which lets you route a small coax cable without having to soldered the end on!
Our kit is new, and we’re always open to ideas on how to improve it. If you’d like to suggest some additional ways to improve it, please let us know.
