President Richard 10 Meter Ham Radio, 50W PEP

Very easy to convert to 11 meter if you can solder. 1 little jumper . Look it up on YouTube. This is the best radio you can buy under 200 bucks

Pretty good radio for money. Online instructions for solder points are correct. Look for white line on board. Good radio for channel 19... Auto squelch is pretty nice and squelches well, although I wish it would somewhat fade in and hold a little longer, rather than having quiet interrupted by a sudden blast of sound then quiet again, then another blast of sound. Reminds me of the old cobra 19’s. Not very refined in that sense. Turn squelch knob all the way left for auto squelch. Lots of different settings that are fun to play with. I like the beeping swr meter as I can make adjustments quickly with window rolled down and door closed without having to get back in and key up every time. I would MUCH rather it use a 4 pin mic, since I never use the Mic up/down channel buttons anyway. The mic sounds ok but not great, and feels cheapy. Overall good buy in my opinion.

This is my second President Richard. It Is a learning curve over a Connex or Galaxy. This is not an out of the box 11 meter radio. To talk to other trucks using CBs you will have to have it converted or convert it yoursel. I did mine myself as CB shops are not as common as they used to be. A big plus for me is being able to turn up the power from a menu without having to open up the radio. You will have to open it for the conversion. The side bands are a bit complicated but I dont use them. It has a good clear sound and my first one always got complimented on its sound and power. I like how being small it takes people by surprise. Has all the bells and whistles I wanted without having to add more or spend a bunch of money at a Cb Shop paying to mod a new radio.

Do yourself a favor and get this radio. Only been trucking for 11yrs now and I’ve gone through more than a few radios, it kinda became a hobby. Anyways, all of the good reviews are 100% true. This is THE BEST radio “out of the box” I’ve ever had the pleasure of keying up. The 50w are there from the factory, no tuning required. The RECEIVE IS AMAZING, and so clear. The ASC (auto squelch control) is a game changer and I don’t ever want a radio without it again. This radio is packed with great features, you’ll just have to see for yourself.

I have had lots of radios over the years and this is my favorite. Works great and I get radio checks from other towns and states. There are only 2 draw backs. 1) no ssb. 2) when putting a D104 on it. The Channel will change every now and then. Plus you have to cover the mic ground on the plug side or it will touch the center pin, witch is power and your radio will smoke like mine did. Lucky I can fix mine. I unplugged it asap. Only burned a ribbon cable. Other than that. This is a dinomite radio.

I wasnt impressed at all with this radio, But could be just me. How ever I have it for sale at half price and went for a General Lee instead. How ever cant say its bad product but it just wasnt working for me and instruction book really not easy to follow.

This radio is spot on. Perfect for someone who is on the road a lot.

Secret menu. Nobody knows what this parameters do? I dont want to start pushing button and ending up with a burn Richard.

Fantastic unit for the money just buy it

Good little radio. Really small footprint, great for just about anything you want a radio in. Mine came with a bad voltage regular so off to my repair guy it went, so thats why the 2 stars. Great audio and power after tune and alignment.
