Uniden BearTracker 885, Mariners Warehouse SKU 104635, combines a 40-channel AM CB transceiver and a receive-only digital trunktracking scanner for a mobile installation. Its included GPS receiver uses location to select nearby scanner channels from the USA/Canada database. Choose this hybrid when both CB communication and monitoring supported unencrypted radio systems are part of the intended use.

The scanner can monitor supported public-safety channels when the system type, signal and database information permit reception. It cannot receive encrypted traffic or every proprietary digital format, and database coverage does not guarantee that every agency can be heard. The GPS supports scanner channel selection rather than turn-by-turn navigation. NOAA weather reception/alerts, a seven-color display, RF gain, memory scan, SWR functions and PA operation add model-specific controls; optional wireless-microphone compatibility does not include that accessory.

Plan nominal 13.8V DC power, protected wiring, mounting and the separate antenna paths using the exact manual. The included window-mount antenna is for the scanner; install and match a suitable separate CB antenna before transmitting. Position the GPS as directed and check the supported database-update procedure using the supplied removable storage arrangement and current manufacturer instructions. Test scanner and CB functions at the installed location. Terrain, antenna installation, system encryption and local signals affect results; no fixed communication distance or complete monitoring coverage is promised.

Compatibility & Setup Guides

Match the Device to Its Communication or Monitoring Task

Check BEARTRACKER 885 by its actual communication, heading, alarm-output, mounting or satellite-TV role. Confirm supported systems, power, connections, contents and setup requirements before purchasing.

Hybrid CB/Scanner or AM/SSB CB Radio?

BearTracker 885 combines 40-channel AM CB operation with a receive-only digital trunktracking scanner and included GPS for nearby channel selection. Bearcat 980SSB instead provides AM plus USB/LSB single-sideband CB operation; it does not supply the BearTracker scanner function.

Choose between supported scanner monitoring and the CB modulation modes required by your contacts. The 885 does not gain SSB from its scanner features, and neither model supplies a complete external CB antenna installation. Scanner reception remains subject to system compatibility, encryption and signal conditions. Review the Uniden Bearcat 980SSB Single Side Band CB Radio MPN - BEARCAT 980SSB as a separately sold option.

Choose by the actual communication, navigation, alarm or satellite-TV task, then compare exact compatibility and contents.
