Not sure. I didnt hear the FM ? As we dont use AM here, which sounds roughly the same on all radios.

So glad to see you back ! 👍

Hell yes a new video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Excellent presentation and explanations of operation, THANK YOU ! 👍

Thank you for the video. You did a wonderful job as always. You're the best. 73

Good video explaining the functions. One of the biggest advantages for me in the mobile is the screen. I use the same background shown on your video, and it looks great! What does not happen, as in the 980SSB, is that if daylight hits the screen, rather than become unreadable, it appears to be grayscale, so in any light situation the George's screen will be visible to the driver. I found the 980 screen unviewable depending on how bright it was outside the car. Once again, good video!

Thanks for the great video , I owned and made multiple review videos of the first George II in England 7 months ago. It's such a pity for you guys the FCC is locked and has one less output transistor .Your video shows me that the George FCC has far superior output audio compared to the others tested. Keep up the great work Dave🙂

Finally , President has made a super stable SSB cb radio . It took long enough ! These things sound like an HF Rig . Very impressive

I have one, great features. Love the NRC.

When I was trying to decide what new CB I wanted, I was considering all sorts of things (just like everyone else does). So many reviewers gave great reviews of the President models that I had it boiled down to either the McKinley II FCC, or the George II FCC. Ultimately, I went with the McKinley because I wanted to use it primarily as a base unit and it has a front firing speaker. If I was going for a primarily mobile unit, I’d definitely choose the George. The George has that built in USB port which enables you to charge your phone without causing interference on the radio the way it happens if you plug your phone into the cigarette lighter.

Awesome comparison! It has similar results to the tests I've done between a Uniden 980 Bearcat (Astatic noise canceling mike) and the President George with the Digimike.

Great review as always, I have the EU version and it too is a great radio

I just ordered my President George from CB World in Oregon today.

VOX/NG can be a great option for those that use a headset with microphone. which might be an interesting topic to cover - Headsets / Microphone :)

Niiceaadio and video

Are you going to the dayton Hamvention?

It's about time the use of CTCSS was used. But will it ever be used in FM mode? On what channel? Sure beats carrier squelch control.

Das Gerät habe ich hier in Deutschland nur hätte ich gewusst das die Washington kommt hätte ich gewartet weil vom Preis her wären es 40€ mehr gewesen !

The fairly new President George 2 is a bit better as it will go on the free bands 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz with CTCSS tones for 10 meter repeaters, unlocked clarifier, can go 60 watts+ (with mod from service menu) & has echo built in. This is available in the US & Canada from some vendors as well direct from Amazon UK & President Europe & they will ship to US & Canada. -73's

Where to buy

People who asked for a Richard or Walker with ssb this is your answer….built almost identical and after several years (lost count) trying to kill my Richard I can say this might be the last radio you buy….if the price to get the “export” version is more than you want the Lincoln 2+ is an option but if money isn’t a problem the export should be awesome

I asked president the same question and it’s a completely different display and they seemed confident it would not have that problem. The display is brighter and more crisp than the 980. President is usually very good with their warranty as well. This really is nothing like the 980, everything is different aside from he general look of the front layout. Knobs are much more solid etc.

@cbradiomagazine that's good to know, thanks for the quick reply & for asking. I understand many radio casing designs are shared amongst different brand names. In that, I'm just curious if they just pick from a list of shells that are offered, bid out an idea of a radio with certain features & specs & the winning bidder picks how its built/look, or something else.

@@Johnysouthernerso one of the most expensive things about building a new radio (as a manufacturer) is creating new tools for the case and faceplate etc for molding etc. it can cost tens of thousands to create a tool (mold) for the faceplate, etc. So a manufacturer can save a ton by using an existing tool to pop out the case and faceplate and just use updated boards, etc.
