President Washington 10 Meter Radio First Look

[@mustang131radio]

The scope looked much better at 75watts. Great video!

[@cbrepairguy]

Interesting I don't see much of a difference. Radio sound clean and clear.

[@g.h.2800]

​@@cbrepairguyThe second pattern is distorted. This will cause harmonics disturbances on Broadcasts and TV's

[@cbrepairguy]

@@g.h.2800 first off, what distortion you see is insignificant it's just at the brink. Secondly, is now going to cause disturbances on broadcasts and TVs unless you're running a 1970s model TV and then you would have to be awful close to the signal. If you turn it down just a little bit the pattern straightens right out. No different than turning a stereo up to the point of distortion. The operator has total control.

[@BlackB00X]

hello sir, and thx for interesting video. Can i ask what is mods for more power ? :D

[@SDS-1]

First inside look ive seen. heck yea, looks great. Id totally buy one if i had the $

[@AEZAEZEL-187]

@cbrepairguy Thanks for showing the internals of the President Washington. Because of you i was able to do the conversion to the 11 meter band! Thanks a lot and 73!

[@027MC7]

This should have been a base station in my opinion! 😢

[@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4]

God yes I wish it was

[@GR-RadioSouthCarolina]

Absolutely it should've been, we need more base station radios.

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Thanks for the video . Looks like a winner !!

[@cbrepairguy]

You bet

[@bbugin4u]

The scope was clipping on neg peaks....Right after the higher wattage adjustment. Why don't you run a 1khrz for audio? strange

[@chopchop3464]

because he is a golden screwdriver

[@lenny0272]

bought a stryker last week and now i wish i bought this.

[@randyguay7115]

I like this new washington alot. But i like my 955 far better.

[@dankoenig5938]

Is that output power pep?? Whats average? Would want to replace Stryker 655 running it into 8 pill 2879.

[@ironhead320]

Sweet radio my next one

[@CBPunisher1900]

u gota do a review when the anytone 6666pro drops next month also

[@chrisdelong2932]

It takes 4 times the power to increase your signal by 1 S unit, or 6db gain. Double the power is 1/2 an S unit, or 3db of gain. There is no significant difference between 75 watts & 110 watts.

[@Fox250R]

I’ve had multiple people tell me my Lincoln 2+ does 2 db less vs my 955 on am. 2+ does 50w 955 does 100. Explain that one

[@sm7fbj]

10m? You mean 11m.....😉

[@SVerucci]

Can you show how the power mod is done

[@Z28videogates]

Thanks for posting. I wish someday there would be a radio with a decent S meter like the Icom 7300 or Xiegu 6200 (the 6200 even has -dBm which is extra awesome!)

[@cbrepairguy]

That would be cool!

[@ChiefsFireman]

What CB Radio would you recommend? I have a Cobra 29 LX now and I'm just not happy with it, it doesn't get more then a half a mile or so down the road, Really wanting something that can get minimum 5 miles TX/RX.

[@bleirdo_dude]

What’s your antenna setup?

[@heinerrambold8889]

Yes, it probably draws quite some current with IRF transistors. Built a pa from China some time ago with really huge IRFs and they produce good power up to 20MHz. On 10m you get 25W out with 15W in!!! But there are no driver or predriver transistors on the pcb.

[@cbrepairguy]

There really not the choice for 11 meters but I think because they are cheep is why they use them. They are not properly tuned at 50 ohm so you have an impedance mismatch as it is and the hotter they get the more current they draw.

[@heinerrambold8889]

@@cbrepairguy Yes, true, MRFs or RDs are too expensive for them!!

[@SVerucci]

This is a beautiful radio. I am stoked

[@vincentkravec6708]

No CW ??

[@1022videogates]

Do you sell them box stock un-modded? I want one just as it comes from the factory. Zero fingerprints

[@hazmathauler4536]

🙄🤦‍♂️

[@cbrepairguy]

Yes sir we sell them new in the box, just don't pick the Power tune and it will come factory fresh.

[@andik859]

President fans are out now for washington. 17,90 Euro per piece here in germany. Need 2 for this radio. Frequenzy for 11 m band opened cost 29,90 Euro. Radio himself 398 Euro.

[@SDS-1]

Now I've seen inside of 6666pro and it's basically this radio but with more shield on the board. Crazy😮

[@danholmes9212]

I have a president thomas I purchased for its size I want to mount it in my pick up. Was trying to find out if I can run a power amp something about 100 to 150 watts. I know the internals are surface mount tech. So not able to peak and tune.

[@Macjohn1419]

The scope pattern looks sloppy. What mod? Sounded perfect without the “mod.”

[@cbrepairguy]

It sounded perfect with the mod too.

[@Macjohn1419]

@@cbrepairguy, never in my life have I heard a modded radio sound perfect. It’s just the way it is.

[@Dingleberry1856]

@@Macjohn1419did it sound bad, or the scope showed something you think you perceive. Audiophiles are nuts also, believe they have super human powers of an O-scope.

[@Macjohn1419]

@@Dingleberry1856, you are the one who is relying on the scope. I rely on what I hear and although the scope may appear to look good, the actual audio definition to the ear sounds overblown and harsh. By the way, I’m not an audiophile. The unmodded radio sounds perfect and intelligible. I replayed the before and after several times and it’s night and day difference. Not being an audiophile, that says a lot. Just saying.

[@hornerhillfarm4017]

Did you replace the finals or just convert, turn and align? That's a great jump in performance.

[@cbrepairguy]

Just tune and align.

[@hornerhillfarm4017]

@@cbrepairguy That is impressive!

[@jonathanarrington8889]

@@cbrepairguy Wow, just tuning/alignment increased output that much? Impressive indeed. I thought a feature in the service menu had been activated.

Looks like you are first on this side of the pond to do a video on this new radio

[@cbrepairguy]

Thanks, It's a great radio...

[@VOLKZZORN]

The Same Port have the CRT 9900 Pro come July and 120€ Save 😉

[@docalexander2853]

Best sounding mobile CB radio ever was the TRAM brand. As soon as you heard one on the air, you knew what it was.

[@kt6643]

Why would you screw up a perfectly good 75 W is plenty

[@cbrepairguy]

Thanks for your option, but I think it's a good mod and it's not screwed up at all...

[@DK5ONV]

Nice Video. Southwest Germany is waning a Hand! 73 de Your Friend Uncle Günter 💯👍🙋‍♂

[@cbrepairguy]

Thanks 👍

[@scotthansen429]

Nice radio would like to hear the over-the-air audio with echo. The only thing I didn't like about the president Lincoln two plus the echo wasn't that adjustable. Is the echo on this radio the same ?

[@cbrepairguy]

No, the Echo is fully adjustable in the menu of the radio.

[@mattroland5943]

Is the power variable or are you limited to 3 fixed settings (AM mode)?

[@cbrepairguy]

The power is variable on this radio.

[@TM-gv6zv]

What about the engineering menu

[@Pascal-F11DRE]

Merci pour cette présentation 73's

[@lt1caprice57l]

Seems like a prime candidate for upgrading the power jack to the XT90 connector.

[@cbrepairguy]

It would take a little work as the casting on the housing is very close to the power connector. It would take some grinding to make it happen.

[@DontWorryBeHappy742]

When are they available to buy do you know and what do they cost? Thank you for the video

[@jimday1121]

10 meters starts at 28 Mhz

[@AEZAEZEL-187]

What are you trying to say?

[@KH07734]

Why does a 10 meter have a channel selector and not a VFO?

[@Fox250R]

Cause it’s a cb. It was made to be purchased by cb operators and president knows this. They call it a 10 meter radio so they don’t get in trouble. And then people get butt hurt when you say it’s not a ham radio!

[@KH07734]

@@Fox250R false advertizing, not cool. Also hard to resell on Ebay or most platforms, the word gymnastics and pricing just sucks… add an option to make the channel selector a full VFO and now were talking…

they havent fixed the high reading s meter i see , no noise and you will still get a s5 reading

[@cbrepairguy]

I see no problem with it, the meter compares to the Lincoln and I have static just like I should have. The meter fluctuates as it should.
