In this video, I will show you the location of the ALC pot to adjust the SSB power on your Bearcat 980 SSB. We will also look at some of the other adjustments you can make to your CB radio.

Great thorough demo,I am hearing a radio friend in Canada on a 980 that is slightly of freq & I see the three variable resistors cans next to each other in your video that might be for usb,lsb,fm adjust so I will tell him there are a few KZbin videos on BC 980's. I am 317 Missouri &I like to say hello to you & you are always 10-8 out here in the midwest.

Those are variable resistors (pencil tip) the big ones are Slugs. Great video and good job on your tune up/adjustment procedure!!!

I had no idea it would be that simple. I figured it would not even have pots that could be adjusted Surface mount is too tiny for my equipment so I will have to do it as you did. Surface mount may be good for the factory but it eliminates me from basic repairs. The parts are just too small for my 73 year old eyes. But, I can do as you did, adjusting pots,, so thanks for the info. Kr66 James

Shouldn't you be using the "5" setting instead of "50" if running barefoot ??? 4 watts AM 12 SSB.
