PresidentPresident McKinley EU 40 Channel CB Radio SSB 12/24V

Bought as a gift for someone in UK. The EU 40 is misleading, no good in UK.

Had a few skywave contacts first day!

Me llego a tiempo, cumple con lo ofrecido es excelente relación calidad - precio, me gustó mucho.

This addition to my review is to document the performance of the replacement to the first radio shipped to me.As noted below, the first radio had some problems. I returned it, and ordered a replacement. The new radio works very well. Internal speaker sounds good and no spurious tone in audio. Power output and modulation are close to legal maximum, in both AM and SSB.Have made several contacts, every contact remarks on good sound of this radio. Just finished a 13.5 mile mobile contact on SSB; the other operator has decades of experience on the radio and commented that this President McKinley was one of the best sounding "out of the box" radios he's heard. I'm very pleased with this purchase, and highly recommend this radio.*** ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ***Nice radio with lots of good features. Unfortunately the radio delivered to me came with no internal speaker output, and had a spurious tone when receiving in AM mode.Very attractive, modern radio with a lot going for it. Installation was straightforward. The small size of this unit allows for many options for install. Unfortunately, upon power-up, no output from internal speaker. The external speaker output worked fine. Great reception, except a very low level tone, maybe around 1KHz or so, was present in AM receive. No problems noted during SSB reception. Power output and modulation was right up where it should be.I like this radio, and believe the problems I experienced with this individual unit are simply a random manufacturing defect. I have returned the defective radio, and will be ordering a replacement.

For anyone that is into 27Mhz communication, I highly recommend the President McKinley. It's a superb high quality user friendly 27MHZ transceiver. Total Excellence

This CB Radio is easy to use.The built-in SWR help you with the antenna adjustment very nice feature.In the adjustment mode, this radio emits beep sound as you tune (live) your antenna.A continuous sound tells you when the swr is perfect (1) cannot be better it’s amazing.The automatic Squelch unique with president radio set Squelch automatically , it's working so well that I will never use the regular Squelch again.It's the only menu driven control radio that makes sense because it's very well done.I also like the fact that the service manual (electronic Schematic) on the web.I don't buy radio if I cannot service them in the future.It's a 5 Stars product
