Hi Andy. Its a nicely made radio.

[@looneytune-upelectronicsll2241]

good review

[@wulfsige14]

What is THE best radio though?

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

I like the sound of going into the dark side 😂

Hi Fred I’ve got a grant 2 I’ve had it for about 4yrs it’s still in the box I’m now getting back into Cb. So I’m gonna set up at home like it was my cobra 148 till I had it taken off me. What power supply do you suggest as I’ve got nothing from my old gear left. Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi Dave. Depends if you think that you might cont with the hobbie. If yes then you may just as well go straight for a 30 amp supply as it will run any radio up to a HF set. The Grant does not need a big supply but i would look at Knights CB for a 7- 10 amp. Ive got a cheap QJE 30 amp which has been working well and a smaller sized 30 amp. Video links below

Hi I’ve got rid of the grant 2 I had it 4 years never used it when I tried it out it wouldn’t work so I chuckled it in the bin.

[@goldpipe2003]

It looks identical to the uniden 980ssb.

[@goldpipe2003]

Hold the local button till the little red light is on turn the channel selector..... Bam there is your rf gain. I added more caps to the power wires inside solved alot of the hash

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I think it just turns from full to local DX though ? Are you saying its adjustable ?

[@Team-fabulous]

Oh dear Lord no Fred. I had a Grant 2 for a week, got shot of it, very cheap feeling to the radio, you can rock the channel changer to change channel, the clarifier knob wobbles about and the radio is very light! Plus high noise floor and the CRT 9900 is cheaper and has 50 watts out the tail.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

You must have had a friday afternoon radio LOL. Mine is solid as a rock on the controls and the clarify control smooth with so much more adjustment than the 9900. Now would i choose a Grant 2 over a CRT SS9900. Well no the 9900 is the better radio.

[@g1fsh]

Hi Fred does the Grant 2 do uk fm or is it just a mid block radio?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi Gary. Yes it does have FM 40. :-)

[@g1fsh]

fredintheshed1 is it easy to swap between the 2 blacks mate?

[@pjo7281]

can you adjust the volume of the roger beep? its so quiet as standard?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Not from the controls on the radio. Iam unsure if there is a adjustment pot inside the radio on the PCB.

[@stewartgamlin1201]

Hi fred, could you please tell me how to get echo on my president grant 2 premium. Thank you.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

The easiest way would be to use a mic with an echo feature. The KPO NM-452 echo mic is a good option.

[@stewartgamlin1201]

fredintheshed1 thank you for the information, much appreciated.

Thanks desmond

[@jasonmiller9495]

Looks like the United Bearcat

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes is very much the same

[@desbelfastireland9982]

FRED,CAN I RUN A AMP,AN WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE BEST,,DES,,CAN YOU RUN IT ON ATU

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi Des. I have a very cheap RM 203 amp (around £48) which will draw about 12 amps on full power. If you run a cb radio and amp together your going to need about a 20 amp power supply unit to be safe.

[@ronleblanc9832]

Doesn t the uk band more than 40 channel ???

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes we have hundreds now. AM FM USB and LSB

[@barryappleby7600]

I have the SS9900 only because a friend bought it, never opened the box. I bought it off him with a 15amp psu.
