Hello. I have one of these and find it to be very good. I have actually made a 20 mile contact using a dipole- indoors. This was on it's own battery. David.
Hi, the red l.e.d on the standing charger does not go green, but the tiny battery indicator on the radios screen (top right) goes off when fully charged. They Also do a case for the radio - its quite expensive £35ish but best case I've ever owned, proper good thick leather and gives the radio a real solid chunky feel and fits perfectly, Love it. Great vid, can't wait for next vid. Cheers m0ogy
OK, it's on charge now, for the first time, I know some of my other Amateur handy charger lights change colour. Maybe watch my next video (on channel now) regarding the leather case, It's hand made in Europe, but not by GPE President (not on their website).🙂
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and observations Dave … been watching for a while always straightforward and informative… like many others be great to see an SSB handy released again 🤞… be interesting to see your thoughts on the audio for this one … my Thunderpole T-X I found the RX audio very harsh and distorted more so on stronger signals although I appreciate its good value… thanks again keep the content coming I sense a resurgence in CB … hope so 👍🤞
Seems quite a bit more expensive than the Thunderpole and especially the newJopix. I've seen the noise reduction in use on the Thunderpole and it does make quite a difference. Pity the President doesnt have that NRC and as you say, which is a good point, these newer radios should be including SSB at this stage. I'm in a "Make your mind up" mode between these three handhelds, I'm still not decided on which to go for. Anyway thanks for sharing and 73s.
I'm lucky to own all three, the NRC on both the Thunderpole anf Jopix are superb, but other than that I would go for the President, it just feels nicer quality, but it depends on what you have to spend I guess.🙂
Good Video Dave and one i nearly purchased myself until Thunderpole released the T-X…Someone on my channel was saying President are working on SSB unit,I’ve heard nothing have you?
Thanks for your kind comment (they seem to be getting fewer and fewer on my videos) with regards a President SSB handheld, I have heard nothing, but I do hope your Subscriber is correct, it's what people want ....I'd buy one🙂
@@m0ogyYes i would be definitely interested in a modern portable SSB unit…I’m no UA-cam expert as i haven’t been doing videos long enough Dave but i think it is almost like the skip regarding comments and viewers,they come and go.
@@m0ogy yes Dave totally agree I suppose if you add on car kits on the thunderpole not alot in it both are good. Comes down to how you like the feel of the unit in the hand.

@@m0ogy yeah mine's the same as the one you have, got it from thunderpole I think. Proper craftsmanship, worth the money

Nice Dave thunderpole tx or randy 3 ? Decisions
Yes a tough one, I own one of each 🙂
@@m0ogy yes Dave totally agree I suppose if you add on car kits on the thunderpole not alot in it both are good.
Comes down to how you like the feel of the unit in the hand.
By the way I think you own one of everything Dave.
Not quite 🙂@@markwynn7630
Other than the NRC circuit (and price difference) the Randy III for sure @@grandpaandlucas7054 👍
