    Recommendation.
    If you want to hear and see where the President Washington really ✨shine, play with the following parameters.
    1. ASQ (auto squelch)
    2. NRC
    3.Noise Gate*
    4.Tone
    5.ANL/NB
    6. Hi cut filter.
    FM Mode optional Digimike…

    I have about nine 10 meter transceivers which are modified for 11 meter but nowadays I mainly use my President Washington 11 meter modified 10 meter radio. I use it together with my K-PO DG503 MAX SWR and POWER meter. Thanks for the review ERIK 73's from the Netherlands (19DCG187) Dutch CB Group

      Every time I'm in my pickup I'm listening for you. I know the odds are against the skip being just right for us to connect, but I did speak to Mower Junkie once, so I guess it's possible! If you ever hear 146 from Western MA, it's me.

    Hi, I know this might be the wrong place to ask, but I have a President Lincoln II radio and the internal speaker went bad. It works fine on external speaker. Would you happen to know what the speaker specs are and where to get a replacement for it? If not I will take it apart and try and measure it and see if there are any numbers on it. The thing has always sounded like crap. Thanks.

    That a neat radio . That assery audio level is for the audio out that goes to mic jack. For like a speaker mic or a headset. like the Heil sound ones with a mic. You use VOX or PTT switch that can be a hand switch or foot pedal. Heil sound makes a great set. I use on outher radios but I have to use EXT speaker jack in back. Also if using a Digi Rig for digital modes threw mic jack the audio level is for setting level to PC . The MIC level will be audio from PC . Yes same static hear in NY and on SW bands as well. Hard to hear WMRI and WBCQ at times with all that noise. But I have DSP and that really helps. I did work Texas on CB the outher day. 38 SSB.

Long story short, i have a Uniden 980 in a vehicle but want to replace with a George using the same power cord ran to the battery. I have a George in another vehicle so I've looked in the manual but nowhere can i find the power cord fuse amp on the George. The Uniden 980 is a 6 amp fuse, so i wonder if they're the same I'm hoping to just unplug the 980 & plug in the George. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated !!

    Hope you and your viewers know that 10 Meters is an amateur radio band and operation here requires a FCC Amateur Radio license. You're treating this like a CB, with channels etc and showing phone operations in the CW portion of the 10 meter band. Hope you have a FCC amateur radio license ? Doesn't take much to get one these days. Ham radio was very active after the disaster, especially the Mt Mitchell 2Meter repeater.
