Installation
MOBILE INSTALLATION
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before beginning installation.
1. Select a location that is convenient for operating the radio but does not interfere with the driver or passenger. 2. Install bracket with self-tapping screws provided. 3. Connect the power cords (see below). 4. Attach the microphone bracket to side of the radio or car dash. 5. Attach radio to bracket. Mobile Antenna Because the maximum power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the quality of your antenna is very important. To achieve the maximum transmission distance, Uniden strongly recommends that you install only a high quality antenna. You have just purchased a superior transceiver; don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer from the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. Your Uniden dealer is qualified to help you select the proper antenna for your requirements. A whip style antenna may be used for automobile installation. A short loaded whip antenna is easier to install on an automobile, but its efficiency is less than that of a full quarter-wave whip antenna. Connecting the Power Cords Uniden recommends connecting the power lead to the Ignition Switch Accessory Terminal. This way, the transceiver is automatically turned off when the ignition switch is turned off.
E-8
As an alternative, the power cord may be connected to an available terminal on the fuse block or to a point in the wiring harness. However, caution must be taken to prevent a short circuit. If in doubt, contact your vehicle dealer for information. Ground Information
This transceiver may be installed and used in any 12-volt DC negative ground system vehicle.
Negative Ground System
With a negative ground system, the negative (-) battery terminal is usually connected to the vehicle motor block. Connect the red DC power cord from the transceiver to the positive (+) battery terminal or other convenient point. Then connect the black power cord to the vehicle chassis or negative (-) battery terminal. Install 6-Pin to 4-Pin Adapter The Bearcat 980 SSB is pre-configured for Unidens new 6-pin wireless, noise-cancelling technology, available in 2012. Your Bearcat 980 SSB comes with an adapter to connect the radios 6-pin microphone jack to an aftermarket 4-pin microphone. 1. Insert the 6-pin side of the adapter into the Bearcat 980 SSB 6-pin microphone jack connection. 2. Plug a 4-pin microphone connector into the 4-pin side of the adapter. MARINE INSTALLATION Consult your dealer for information regarding marine installation. It is important to adequately ground the system and to prevent electrolysis between the fittings in the hull and the water.

TEST PROCEDURE Power Line Conducted Interference: The procedure used was EIA/TIA-382-A using a 50uH LISN. Both lines were observed with the DUT transmitting. The bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was 10 kHz with an appropriate sweep speed. Bandwidth 20 dB: The measurements were made with the spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth (RBW) = 1 MHz and the video bandwidth (VBW) = 3 MHz and the span set as shown on plot. Power Output: The RF power output was measured at the antenna feed point using a peak power meter. Antenna Conducted Emissions: The RBW = 100 kHz, VBW = 300 kHz and the span set to 10.0 MHz and the spectrum was scanned from 30 MHz to the 10th Harmonic of the fundamental. Above 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth was 1 MHz and the VBW = 3 MHz and the span to 50 MHz. Radiation Interference: The test procedure used was EIA/TIA-382-A using an Agilent spectrum receiver with pre-selector. The bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum EIA/TIA-382-A receiver was 100 kHz up to 1 GHz and 1 MHz above 1 GHz with an appropriate sweep speed. The VBW above 1 GHz was 3 MHz. The analyzer was calibrated in dB above a microvolt at the output of the antenna.

FREQUENCY STABILITY
2.1055(a)(b)(d), RSS-136 Temperature and voltage tests were performed to verify that the frequency remains within the .005%, 50 ppm specification limit. The test was conducted as follows: The transmitter was placed in the temperature chamber at 25 C and allowed to stabilize for one hour. The transmitter was keyed ON for one minute during which four frequency readings were recorded at 15-second intervals. The worse case number was taken for temperature plotting. The assigned channel frequency was considered to be the reference frequency. The temperature was then reduced to -30 C after which the transmitter was again allowed to stabilize for one hour. The transmitter was keyed ON for one minute, and again frequency readings were noted at 15-second intervals. The worst case number was recorded for temperature plotting. This procedure was repeated in 10 degree increments up to + 50 C. Readings were also taken at 15% of the battery voltage of 13.8 VDC. Test Data: Assigned Frequency (Ref.
