2017 was the year I got back into CB Radio. It took me a long time to decide what radio I wanted to get. My choices were a Galaxy dx958 , Uniden 980, and the President McKinley. And let me tell you I took a long time going over all the radios specs. So as you all know I went with the President McKinley and was completely satisfied with the performance of this CB Radio!
Front firing speaker was definitely a top notch plus, excellent sound on air , adjustable RF power, excellent Modulation, Great noise filtering, automatic squelching unique to President Electronics.
As you can tell from my videos this is the very best. #cbradio
I just brought mine in to the house today, the ssb is far more stable than the Galaxy 959.
i had a 99V that i called the drifter! that sucker warmed up and drifted all over the place!
Yes to galaxies drifting, I have heard this before.
Could you tell me how far the KC shift slides? Will it go to the 0s in between channels
@@M6MRP No the McKinley in the USA version does not shift.
@@mikecricket113 that's a pity as frequencies like 27.400 lsb are so popular around the world, thanks for the reply
@@M6MRP um 😐 I just replied to someone else who asked a similar question as yourself. And the answer is. “Most folk that talk on 27.400 or 27.390 are using Ham HF Radios Modified for 11 meter.” So if that’s what you want you better check the used market, or new and expect to shell out a lot more money than a McKinley goes for.
I have that version i never got the second one with fm it sold out quickly now cant find one take care mike and timber
Yeah, I didn’t like the second one too much. I feel like they did fm to just say they did it. But the George fcc that was worth it. But the price point is a bit ridiculous. I think it’s 240 us dollars. Yes it’s an excellent radio with some new technology and features. The digital noise reduction system is one of the first features you find n any legal CB radio. So I am very pleased with the overall performance of the President George. Maybe inflation and corporate price increases has gotten us loopy. Or perhaps 🤔 it’s not as bad as we think. If you look back at CB radio prices in the 70’s and 1980’s. They were close if not more expensive. If you lookin my community page I have a link for Radio Shack Catalogs , so you can compare prices from then to now. Where am I going with this thread? Basically for current President models. I would go with the original McKinley and the George FCC. If FM is not for you stick with the McKinley. I’m happy you have one too. Thanks for listening watching and hopefully subscribing. Have a great day. 73.
CB’s were not cheap by any means back in the day. I’d like to run a McKinley in my truck. But there isn’t a place to conveniently mount it. A buddy of mine would like to get a McKinley II, if President ever does another production run of em.
@@hatchetjackphillips what model and year truck 🛻 are you operating?
2006 Silverado.
So you have a central console Din cubby? I’m looking at pictures on line. Seems to be a few interior options for that year.
