Review of the President Bill CB Radio
By CB repairman

[@CBLounge2112]

Great video, I use my Bill as a base. I turned it down to 2 watt dead key to drive my 300 watt foot warmer into my 5/8 wave ground plane and it works AWESOME!! Cheers from the CB lounge 2112 here on KZbin!!

[@hemphead5839]

Hello CB Lounge 2112 seen your comment as I was watching this video I seen your comment as I was watching this video I just purchase the President Bill number 2 I love it take care see you on your next live feed 🖐️

[@robgibbsofficial]

Great video - I have the AM / FM version here in the UK 🇬🇧 it's a very well made great sounding radio

[@adamosity7127]

Great little talker. Go to service menu. Reduce the carrier, increase modulation and feed a Little Italy. Loud, clear and no splatter. My only complaint is the buttons on the microphone. They will actuate when you drop mic in your cup holder. Also screen is hard to see if mounted high in your ride.

Great video! I am about to purchase one of these for my Subaru Outback, I have zero room in that thing for a radio; this is perfect.

[@jeffkroboth5466]

I LOVE my President Bill! I have not had a CB radio in my Subaru Forester because there is no room for my Cobra 148GTL until I found the Pres. Bill. It has many cool features and fits in between the seat and the console! I wish I could post a pic to show you guys how small it is,and works well.

[@HighRoad317]

Great video, down to earth style!!! Need more videos!!!

[@StropSharp]

What a coincidence Doug...I just recently had you work on a Galaxy 66v2 for me and then I seen this little President Bill sitting on the shelf at a truck stop and bought it to see how well it would perform being hooked up to LMR 240 UF cable and silver gold pin pl-259 connectors as well as matched it up wit a Hustler HQ-27 antenna and I am thoroughly impressed it gets out there, and the recieve is incredible. Hell!.. one guy I was talking to about 4 miles solid thought I was running an amp...I told him 'nope its all barefoot man. He said he was going to get one too. If you can improve on this radio let us know...I'm in....great review btw

[@michaelbegay9573]

Bought one off ebay, didn't realize how small it was, ebay pics don't do it's size justice, probably lose it in the cab of my fullsize pickup, gonna replace my pres. andy II, n thats kinda small for big truck. 😮😊😅

[@turtle403]

Amazing little radio might have to get one for the Jeep.

[@RoseAndCam]

thanks for the review, even though this video is a year old it fit the bill...was ordering one of these radios as you spoke and wasn't until the end of your video that I hit send on the order.

[@anthonygallo3576]

Thank u,very good review.now i know i can hook up my rm italy 65w amp to it.i was concerend as u cant adjust power.There is one mod.you can gake a road devil power mic modified it so it works the channels,.thanks for a great review

[@animalcorvair]

an i still have the blacked out blue led cobra 2000 i got off you on ebay you put a lot of love into it hope you are doing ok...

[@ChristiannTyler]

Could I splice a 12v cigarette lighter plug onto the power leads? All my president radios have the 3 prong plug an I have that permanently installed in my vehicle

[@chevyguy1128]

Anyone know how to get to the hidden menu on the president bill 2 am/fm fcc usa version mine has weather channels i would like to lower dead key and adjust modulation

[@eduardrumega122]

How you modify from 4w to 20w? Can you show how you switch?

[@HamRadioConcepts]

It's 20w PEP

[@bonelifer]

What's that white port next to the filter cap/power cord?

[@radiobigman47]

looks like a nice little radio

[@mikewood4922]

would u bump up the modulation? i read to adjust the PL to 127 and the AL to 55

[@danialphaomega]

I have an anytone at-6666 moded for 11 meters, bonded and grounded everything on the jeep and with no conditions I get out 16 miles in the city. I can DX when mother nature allows.

[@ferny107fg]

same here 25 miles 100watts on the 6666, it out performance my Lincoln 2+ , anytone has a better receive filtering.

[@billhartman8002]

I just bought a president bill for my 1025r John Deere to plow snow

[@robertrockwell7581]

love the compact size wish it was side band. for that reason don't want.

[@k9policexj]

Great video! I just ordered one tonight for my Jeep. Curious if you suggest turning down the RF power... I want to run my RM Italy 203...

[@billhartman8002]

Thank you

[@LeeG7953]

Fantastic review! I was wondering, is this the President Bill or the President Bill FCC?

[@dannybarnes874]

Ran across this video today. That is a small radio.

[@tacticalgreyghost1717]

Would it work with a 4 pin echo mic with 6 pin to 4 pin adapter ?

[@vidventure5538]

Is there anyway to convert an external mic to a PA mic.

[@KlondikeMike]

Wow! Very compact. Barely any electronics on the topside of the board! I laughed when you were trying to balance the unit on the cookie. Ha Ha BTW, I use PowerDirector as well. Best editor/value on the market. Good price to go with the watermark as well. You barely even notice it.

[@davidcooke7744]

I don’t know much about electric but should you have the power supply coiled up causing resistance?

[@cbrepairguy]

That won't hurt anything, and coiling it up will cause inductance not resistance. It makes a choke.

[@JUANHernandez-zo8vf]

Sir is that radio for sale

[@asappestcontrol1250]

Does that Service menu allow you to turn down the power output to 1-2 Watts ?

[@cbrepairguy]

Yes it does

[@fomocowboy]

I'm curious why you want to turn the power down?

[@superbazooka213]

@@fomocowboy a low drive amp. A amp that cant take more than 2 to 4 watt key I'm guessing.

[@JUANHernandez-zo8vf]

[@drsysop]

Get the non FCC one off eBay or Amazon great version.

[@drsysop]

@@0426dav US one says Bill F.C.C. on it & has Weather Band & the other has FM on it & no Weather Band & puts out 20 watts, It goes to other frequencies outside of the 40 channels.

[@robschlotterbeck2566]

I buy my “export” radios from Radio World in the UK. So far I bought a President McKinley and Bill. Shipping was $19 for the McKinley and $15 for the Bill. The biggest difference I saw so far is the receiver is a bit noisier than the USA versions of the radios. I guess that is to be expected with radios as wide band as they are.

[@ferny107fg]

@@robschlotterbeck2566 They are turned for FM.

[@fomocowboy]

What is hi- cut?

[@toddcampbell5292]

Cuts out the High Frequency Audio Hiss when the squech is open.

[@user-ui9iw8mf1u]

У вас есть информация?

[@gregbarth9617]

How did you get 20W out of a 4W radio?

[@F41Driver]

4W carrier, 20W PEP.

[@shadowphantom2567]

@@F41Driver I just saw this. Can you explain this further? Is this not transmitting at 20W?

[@Johnysoutherner]

@@shadowphantom2567 Your better off looking into the difference between Carrier RF Output & Peak Envelope Power (AVG vs PEP)

@@cbrepairguy Do you work on Saturdays for a call? Work during the day and don't get home until after 6 pm mostly. Thanks

[@dannybarnes874]

Another question if I may. I have a 2009 RAM 1500 Quad cab with a hard cover on the bed. Looking for a good antenna ( not a magnet type as the wire is hard to hide) that will work well. What would you recommend? Maybe a 102 ' whip on a solid bumper mount or some type of hood mount? Thanks
