Amazon.com Product Description
Classically styled but equipped with all the modern features, the Uniden Bearcat PC68 Elite CB radio is a must for truckers, boaters, and other CB enthusiasts. The radio is housed in a stylish silver chassis with backlit chrome control knobs--an enduring look that's sure to satisfy longtime CB fans. More importantly, the radio operates on any of the 40 AM frequencies authorized by the FCC, while also picking up seven NOAA weather channels. For good measure, it even includes an alarm that sounds when a severe weather storm is forecast.
Perhaps the PC68 Elite's most satisfying feature, however, is Uniden's dynamic squelch control, which delivers a clear signal with less noise so that all your channels sound crisp and legible. The squelch control even reduces noise when the CB user on the other end doesn't have it, an advantage that few other squelch enhancers enjoy. The front-positioned microphone, meanwhile, is easy to access and comfortable to hold thanks to its ergonomic pistol grip.
Additional features include an enhanced night-vision display; adjustable RF and mic gain controls; instant access to channel 9 (the emergency channel); a PA/CB switch; and an analog S/RF meter. The unit, which measures 6.29 by 2.16 by 8.54 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 3.74 pounds, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Good features........2007-07-20
Having a built-in weather radio is a great feature to have. I'm an avid outdoorsman & being able to keep abreast of developing weather conditions from you car is invaluable. Also, the radio has an automatic squelch control with the option to turn it off & go manual. The display is easy to read & has 2 illumination levels that are effective in most lighting situations. The sound quality is good even if you decide to mount the unit on the top of the dash (speaker grill holes on bottom of unit). Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase & would recommend this product.
Uniden Bearcat CB.......2007-03-09
Product looks very nice in my pickup. It functions just as well. I tested it today and able to converse with a friend over about 5 miles. I have owned nothing but Cobra's prior to this but I think that will change.

Bearcat CB Radio.......2007-03-30
When I ordered the radio, I was surprised to find it being shipped and delivered on time. Very leary about using the internet for unseen purchases as I have almost no experience in it. Very pleased with the entire process and the credit card charge was for the exact amount. The price of the radio was far cheaper than in the department stores and the quality of it is extremely good. I won't hesitate to get another Uniden Bearcat CB radio of needed.
Latest and Greatest ? Not quite........2007-02-08
I purchased this 11 meter radio to see if CB technology had advanced any in the 21st century. Wow was I surprised - it has gone backwards.
This radio doesn't hold a candle to my stock Uniden Grant XL (from 1993). I put two antennas on the roof of my truck and played with receive audio for a while. After my first test, I switched the antennas to be fair. Still the same results. I was pulling in nice clear audio on the old Grant XL, but could barely make out every other word on the PC78Elite. At this point, knowing the PC78Elite had the longer/superior antenna, I set the SWR on both and started transmitting to a buddy I had told about my test. He claimed unit B (I didn't tell him which was which except for "A" & "B") sounded much cleaner than unit A. So just to be fair I switched the antennas between units again, set the SWR, and keyed the mics... same results. Needless to say the PC78Elite will not be in my radio collection.
The weather channel from the PC78Elite pulled in great on both antennas (neither claim this capability). I did notice a strange thing though. If I leave the weather channel knob on W7 for example, and switch the rig from WX mode to CB mode, I can still faintly hear the weather channel in the receiver audio. I'm positive the radio is not supposed to do this, so I don't know if I got a bum unit, or if this is par for the course for Uniden now.
If someone is looking for a brand new radio with a factory warranty - it is sad that this may be your best route. In all fairness, the radio does receive and transmit. Just not as well as something I bought 14 years ago. I haven't tried the new Cobra 148GTL (claim to be built like the old ones) - but you may want to try it if you are considering this Uniden radio.
Uniden PC 78 Elite.......2007-01-10
I have used CB'S for over twenty years, This one is the best I have used in that time. I might add that for me it is the "fanciest" one I have ever bought. I do find the weather channel to be useful as I commute across the country. The ergonomic mike is a pleasure to use, I expect to see copycats on the market soon. You could spend a lot more for a CB and not get any better performance.
Uniden Does it Again!.......2004-05-18
This latest unit from Uniden lives up to the Uniden tradition. Built solid and rugged. This radio has an awsome look and can be made to scream with the right tuneup. The weather channels are nice to have as well!

Great Radio.......2001-04-14
I had this radio in my car and worked great. It is a Clear talker ... but remeber , to recieve and transmit well you must have a good antenna. A good radio is useless without a good antenna.
