President george cb

[@AEZAEZEL-187]

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!

I wish I still had my George massive mistake selling that one

[@m3vwg]

@@m3vwg The one I had was brand new in the box absolutely mint, they are a cracking radio. I had an amazing contact once on my way home in my taxi I made contact with a radio operator on a naval ship heading into Montreal, literally chatting whilst they were heading into the dock. Im surprised they stopped making them got to be one of the best they brought out.

@@darynsax I was sat outside Gala bingo picking the x up once sat talking to Brazil ye great radio I've had about 14 over the years there's 2 more later George's in my other videos this is only my 2nd early one with no asc and early display

[@ernestfogg9672]

I have a George and completely forgot how to get it to the free band !. Stupid me!. It only goes from 1 to 40 as of now!. And chance that you can help?.

[@m3vwg]

Type in president george mods on Google you'll find it you hold 3 buttons down and select m1

[@LeeKirkman88]

The S meter wasn't very good. Some good signals there but nothing on the meter. I have a mint one in the box. And i just bought the George 2 to go with it. 73's.

[@m3vwg]

Had a few with the s meter like that either all or nothing then others that were perfect

[@M7XCB]

What the difference between this set and president George fm I have the FM version

[@m3vwg]

Nothing if you peel off the sticker it says George underneath think it was an attempt to get them on to the UK market

[@m3vwg]

This one is the earliest George on my other videos is the later one. They have auto squelch better display and work on the alfa channels

[@M7XCB]

@@m3vwg right I will dig out the the radio of the shelf out tomorrow and look at cheers for the input.

[@polarbear5464]

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). 😒👎🙄

When you see me put the radio on 27.780 that's muppet 19 and 27.940 ch 35

[@thestig8133]

@@m3vwg But you & many others don't use muppet handles why not ? Are you ham ops & if so why bother with a muppet rig As usually muppet operators don't get along with hams ( excuse is bigheaded smart arses).

@@thestig8133 I do I'm spearfish been on cb since the 80s 555 is still cb just better for dxing I passed my ham in the 90s but stuck with cb I prefer it

[@thestig8133]

@@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🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔

@@thestig8133 channel 19 now is disgusting you couldn't let kids on cb anymore its all piss heads and idiots swearing and talking about what hf set they'll buy next on benefits day 😂
