It's interesting that President believes the Mic gain control is frequently used. I set and forgot; even the my Astatic Road Devil gain control is hot glued in place 😆. That being said, that is a nice radio. Have a good weekend Rooster.
Really enjoyed a STOCK output review, hell, you can change out finals, resistors, and capacitors in a cobra 19 and make it growl, I like a stock , out of the box review, thanks a lot
Hey great video , I just ordered one of these and was wondering if I'm ok to run it wide open all the time on am ? It's in a cubby , so not sure about heat on this thing ? And also will I be wearing out parts inside quicker having the RF power cranked all the time ? Also did yours come out of the box with the 11 metre or did you do the mod to it ? Mine shows up tomorrow and I'm curious how yours came ? Thanks in advance !
It will get hot if you got it tucked in a cubby hole. Yeah if you if you chat for a long time it will get hot. If you can get some ventilation to it a fan, try to mount it horizontally so that the heat sink is away from the body of the radio. Ideally if the radio has a lot of swing IE amplitude modulation at a lower power setting the radio will run cooler
I have a richard I can sometimes chat with guys in Georgia... I even chatted once wit an old boy from New Zealand. But then sometimes I have no response (?) Thinking about purchasing an amp but not sure which direction to go. Any suggestions. I was also thinking maybe a better antenna might help(?). Right now I have a 6 foot fire stick.
@@Rooster_Radio says it bumped up to 85 with engineer mode. Other mods have been done, like a jump wire, compacitor, tweaked air core, and an added resistor in the back.
Good Day Sir, I got a president richard from you some time ago. I have a question I have a BAOFENG UB 82 DUAL BAND RADIO feom amazon Can I tune the same frequecy in the Richard that I use on the Baogeng?????
Where is the Watergate feature ? How can they call it a Richard without it? I hope President corrects this oversight soon . They could call it the President Richard M or President Richard / Watergate . It would be epic ! I would buy one and I bet many others would too . The Watergate don't lie ! Handy tool for when you put your stripped shirt on for a fight. Next Legendary Radio potential ! thanks for the show n tell ! 73s
I kinda like this radio.....it'll probably grow on me....do like the mix of digital and analog controls.....like how the variable power is working.
This is absolutely the best deal going. Love the ASC. The sound is fantastic.
Great demonstration. Thanks..
Excellent video again rooster No Doubt anything we can learn about any radio even just using it that's cool thanks again buddy

Same with me. I never change it once it's set
I have an old Cherokee base that goes back to the eighties. it has fm on it
Does this radio have the am channels 1-40 right out of the box or does it need converting?
I like the Richards awesome little radio

I believe if you hold the channel up or down button for about 7 sec, it will go scanning the channels ?
Thanks for the vid, appreciate it 👍
Whats option UK (on / off ) in menu.??
Great video, I just got mine today. What amp can I rum on it again...tks

@@davidbayley5194 thanks I appreciate it !
Godblessyou!
When checking the swr is it a must to let the entire 5 minute beep finish or can you check for a minute and check the next channel????
Can’t wait for the President Donald….it will never shut down and run wide open all the time on all the bands!!!
Then completely take a shit 🤭.
I’m not hating on ya Scott…all in good fun pal. Keep lovin the radios and Roosters kick ass channel 😎🙌🏻🙌🏻.

What amp do you suggest for a properly modded richard? I have a richard with an sra 10mm antenna. Distance and clarity is crucial
Output of your Richard?

If you convert to 11m can it do upper and lower side band
Converting something to 11 meter has nothing to do with the modes of operation.
Doesn’t that radio modified to pick up “normal” cb channels?
How. Much is the p hickard
