President Walker II FCC (AM) CB Radio + Hidden Service Menu

[@cbradiomagazine]

It’s a feature-packed, compact alternative to a Cobra 25/29. If you’re looking for a SSB radio check out our review of the President McKinley.

[@timmygilbert1371]

Ordered this radio today . Cant wait ! . Thank u for the review .

[@VickyGeagan]

@@timmygilbert1371 I hope you waited. The new ones do not include weather band anymore. They now include the new FM band. Same radio just the weather band switch is now a Mode selector for the new 6 channel FM band. You can start using it at midnight December 31, 2021 1st night.

[@UNIT711TMSCOTLAND]

President Radio's are simply the best !

[@kriskabin]

THE BEST explaination vid on cbs that I've ever seen! THANKS. I have this little sweet heart in my truck & wanted to learn more about ALL that it could do; you really did an excellent deep dive on its features. Well done 👍 I've always had Cobras, but decided to go with something different. I wanted quality in a compact & understated housing (less appealing to thieves), & this P.Walker fits the bill & then some. Love it.

[@mikehill33]

Great video! I, just installed my Walker 2 today and it is a fantastic radio.

[@m3uec]

Nice radio! SSB would have been nice :-)

[@jeffkardosjr.3825]

The Mckinley is a nice SSB radio.

[@VickyGeagan]

@@jeffkardosjr.3825 Wait until the middle of January 2022. The McKinney will also have the new FM mode with the 6 new channels in the new FM band.

[@davidbayley5194]

since the receiver has a lot of hiss, I don't see any cans that tells me that the receiver isn't very selective you'd still have to have cans to make the receiver selective and there are none. So I would feel that there be a lot of adjacent channel interference

[@SocialistDistancing]

I'm actually impressed with that radio. I'd consider it but I think I'm going for the Lincoln 2+

[@VickyGeagan]

Hope you waited until the middle of January, 2022 it will now contain the new FM band.

[@mikeh.9266]

Nice review!

[@VintageBarbieDoll]

Nice radio I like thank you for sharing

[@VickyGeagan]

This version being sold now is slightly different. It does not contain the weather receive. Due to changes in the part 95 class D regulations. The weather selector switch is now a mode switch. The radio now contains FM. When in FM mode it will only transmit and receive in the new 6 channel CB FM band.

[@VickyGeagan]

This radio the President Walker is now being sold with FM here in the US. Their were taking pre-orders on Amazon and Ebay. They start shipping December 29, 2021. The weather radio receiver has been replaced with a mode selector switch. It has 40 channels AM mode and in FM mode it will only transmit and receive in the new 6 FM channel. Their is now longer a weather bottom on this radio it is a mode selector switch. The weather channels and weather alert has been replaced. This older version of the Walker may not be available for sale after December 31, 2021. It does not meet the new FCC requirements. Under the new Part 95 class D requirements must include the new 6 channel FM band. Only works in FM.

[@davidgeorge2486]

Hi Vicky thanks for the info,, i like the weather channel, do many people talk on FM/truck drivers in your area? THANKS

[@Dirthauler65]

Mine has been a great radio, until now. It's 2 years old, and I replaced the 6 pin mic as soon as I bought it because it was too small and hard to hold, and I replaced it with a 4 pin Astatic mic. I bought the adapter and also set the radio to dynamic mic. Everything was working well and all of a sudden, sometimes when I key the mic, it changes the channel. As much as I like the radio, I'm not sure I want to trust another one and now I'm not sure what to buy. It sure won't be a Cobra 29, my last one wouldn't reach more than a truck length no matter what antenna setup I used and I'm obviously thinking it won't be another President brand. Once bitten, twice shy as they say.

[@UDX-21]

123 audio test- Thanks for the video. Nice Radio, 21 in S.C.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video

[@capndavey1]

why didn't they call it a Nixon CB comes with 18 min of tape hehe

[@mr.kenpeluso5685]

Great looking Faceplate too boot.

[@mr.kenpeluso5685]

I do like the McKinley and President Randy that has no SSB ither !

[@mr.kenpeluso5685]

If I pray there will be some new SSB rigs !

[@VickyGeagan]

Their is you do not have to. The new resident McKinley it contains AM, SSB, and the new 6 channel FM band. Should be available for sale around the middle of January, 2022. the new President Walker is already out. Does not contain the weather feature anymore. It has been replaced my a mode selector switch. In FM mode it will receive and transmit only in the new 6 Channel FM band.

[@mr.kenpeluso5685]

Why is it not SSB ? I'll never understand ?

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Give me old tech any day. Vox is handy though if it works properly.

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Amazing how much old CBs are selling for these days here in Oz. Have no idea why as 27Mhz here is dead and old radios are pretty ordinary tbh.

[@VickyGeagan]

The new ones will be selling for a little more. The FCC just authorized FM. Effective January 1, 2022 with a new 6 channel FM band.

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

@@VickyGeagan Cool. What MHz?

[@mr.kenpeluso5685]

I wear the Hat they sent me for a good thought.

[@cmritchie04]

I am shore there is some kind of trick to switch this radio over to 10 meters and/or FM

[@randyman78596]

does this radio have the same mic jack pinout as a uniden 880 or 980?im trying to use the uniden wireless mic.

[@Pitman556]

The swr is for tuning the antenna? Firestick firefly has a twist top. I think I am buying both of those for my 4x4. What's a good mount?

[@MattMan362]

say someone wanted to add an amp, how far can you turn down the RF output?

[@cmritchie04]

Question since they are CB radios with VOX, in the united states are radio operators allowed to use digital modes such as PSK31, SSTV, MFSK, AX25, AMPRNet, aprs, ect?

[@VickyGeagan]

Answer no you must have an Amateur radio operators licensee. You need to follow the band plan for the band you are operating on. HF, VHF, some areas UHF. Their are restrictions due to military radar interference in some parts of the country.

[@RobertTKlaus]

What's out there with SSB and a good receiver that replaces the cobra 148GTL and such? Nothing?

[@lesgobrandon]

Anyone at5555 v6 👌

[@jeffkardosjr.3825]

I like the President McKinley and the Uniden 980.

[@dalelima]

Nice radio but it's a deal breaker ( No SSB will not buy.

[@027MC7]

If only it had echo.

[@flexairz]

Echo... echo........echo.............echo.................echo...................................echo...................

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

New to this game. What is the need or want for echo? Trying to learn, Thanks!

[@027MC7]

@@Chevy4x4dawg no need for it. Just personal preference. Some love it. Some hate it. I like just a touch of it added. Gives your voice a bigger, roomier sound. More robust. Some get carried away with it to the point you can't even understand what they are saying.

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

@@027MC7 Thanks for your perspective. Guess the ones I have heard with it have it cranked up, because you can't understand um.

[@027MC7]

@@Chevy4x4dawg Not a problem sir. Welcome to the hobby. The way i like to set mine is to start out with both controls all the way down. Turn up the volume(some label it echo) about a1/4 way. Then turn up delay till you hear it echo and back off a touch. When I ask for echo reports, people say I don't hear any echo but you sound like you got one of them "big radios". MC7 in Bama. 7 3's

[@bogoney]

If it can’t split channels don’t want it .

[@027MC7]

I'm trying to understand the more channels deal. Everybody seems to want more channels but around here all of the standard 40 channels aren't being used. Is there a secret society hanging out in hidden channels i don't know about?

[@bogoney]

@@027MC7 well yes and you can talk on one channel and receive on another . It makes it hard to hear a full conversation.

[@mattpace5982]

My advice those are not the best radios now if uniden would make the radios with echo upper and lower sideband and upper and lower channels and did about 50 watts that would be a good radios but they don't have all that inside the radio Its not worth buying the radio I know good radios when I see them I've been talking on the cb for a long time don't waste your money on buying that radio

[@Keeg02.]

what makes it a bad radio?

[@mattpace5982]

@@Keeg02. it don't have sideband or lower channels and echo

[@Keeg02.]

@@mattpace5982 so basically most every cb is bad by those standards?
