    I noticed what appeared to be a higher noise level on my Washington and compared it A/B to my other ham rig (Yaesu FT-710), and they were about the same. I have the RF gain on both rigs turned down slightly and have set the DNR to a level "just-below-watery". It's great as a mobile as well. Nice video, Thanks!

      It is also a portable repeater. The relay mode and offset/split modes are for that.

    @MowerJunkie Goodday from the Netherlands John. You should get the ACMD901 fan kit for the President Washington! It gets really hot because it does 80watts P.e.P. if you have modified it! Have Fun playing with your new radio!

    John, I watching our friend Roger Bird's UA-cam channel and that Washington has a very special feature that allows it to be turned into a full repeater in FM mode. You need to use the CTSS tones as well as the repeater split offset. Ones you do that set it to relay. It will extend your mobile and hand held quite a bit depending on the antenna gain of the antenna it is plugged into If using it as a repeater I would get the duel fan kit and set the turn on temperature to protect the finals. Cord says hi. He and Gina would love to visit you and Barbra sometime.

    As someone else mentioned, get the fan kit, easy install and they are not very loud, you can also set the temp threshold and let the fans run all the time or just when it gets hot. Radio works great, have gotten good reports with mine.

    I have the george 2 it has been a great radio it was my 1st modern radio .Nice audio with just the stock mic i find having the rx nrc set at 2 to be a nice setting .I think you will like it i have caught some nice conditions on it and had some nice contacts .I think they should have called it a george 2 plus and kept the washington name for a good new Homebase radio if they ever made one .

    • @MowerJunkie
      @MowerJunkie  Місяць тому

      Try it first without one, But if your CB causes interference on other electronics in your house, you'll need a balun, or choke.

    How is it size wise compared to the Lincoln II+?
    given the power setting and mic gain feature, i think i prefer the Lincoln II+ but the NRC feature does have me interested.
    I was going to buy one until your video when i realized that there no variable power on the face of the radio.

    • @MowerJunkie
      @MowerJunkie  2 місяці тому +1

      variable power is there, you just have to be keyed-up to access it. the radio is a little wider than the Lincoln II, but not as deep from front to back.

      I prefer the old style of simply turning the variable.
      Much safer in my opinion when setting it to run an Amp.

    Ok now how do you modify it to go on 11 meters which is what it was really made for so it could skirt the rules. You’d have to be a real Grade A LID to get this as a ham operator.
