Nice looking radio, i've always liked the traditional Midland cb's. I have an old Midland 150m in very good condition, made in 1979. It's the American 40 channel AM version.

In have owned a President George in the late nineties and begin 2000. It was a good radio but it is not sold anymore. I now have the President Lincoln II+ and the President MC Kinley which are awesome 10 - 11 - 12 meter band radios! I highly recommend the Lincoln ii+ and the MC Kinley! If you can get a used President GEORGE definitely get it but if you want to get the new President George II then hold on to your money for that!

The only thing I have noticed with the Ranger and I hear this quite alot is the radios receiver, they are known to have alot of "White Noise". Do you experience that with your radio???

i had that thing to, it was very expensive compared to the other cb radios back then when it was new. in my opinion its not worth that much money, an used icom ic718, alinco dx77, kenwood ts50 or alike would be so much better for about that price and its not any more illegal than that. The worst amateurradio is better than the best cb radio. i think peope who buy this "president george", buy it for their nostalgic feelings to their youth in the 90s when this device was new, its like some people would buy classic cars that cost alot despite there are new cars that are so much better.

Why show all this SSB what has actually happened to what was known as THE MUPPET bands Is that dead or simply just full of what many regard as filthy bucket mouths who simply use profanities & insult others to such a degree that operator ends up going off air usually permantly. Are they still about or is it just SSB users & hams on the airwaves only now. I have seen many of these so called CB videos on KZbin & NOT A SINGLE ONE has got anything to do with CB as such. Certainly not the way i use to remember it anyway. So, can anyone verify about CB the way it use to be or has that side of it definitely ended permantly!!!! I haven't heard anything on my scanner for quite sometime so, i thought i'd turn it off & has been for quite a very long time. I was thinking of returning to the airwaves at one time. But, it seems i be wasting my time & money on a full set up ( even cheap or secondhand gear). Especially for my area. & it's no good to me as i don't drive anymore. Except others up the wall. So, why do i watch these videos BOREDOM I SUPPOSE!!!! Not that these really are as exciting as they use to be ( well i don't think so anymore). 😒👎🙄

@@m3vwg I had to give up cb some years ago due to the amount of huge lies & profanities i got. It ended up making me very ill. Like yourself i started with a basic set up in the early 80's & i didn't know it was a AM set that caused severe TV interference But, did eventually get a FM set & got more & more accessories & even a great sidebander But, all got stolen & i couldn't afford to replace any of it for many, many years I was given a few sets but can't test any no power supply to power any up. I was considering just binning them. As for hams i really can't do the test as i am not able to due to certain things i have in my disability. So, i am rather alone from you could say the outside world. I was thinking of resetting up again on the squark box. But, keep backing off. Thinking that i will get all that grief back again once they find out i am back on the air. So, i do hope you understand things better about my situation about going back on. If at all🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔
