President George II - Now with President Channels!

 

A firmware update to the latest batch of President George II adds the 'President Channels' to the radio.

However, does anyone actually use these?????? 

After all, they are just a small selection of  midband channels with added CTCSS/DCS.....

Nothing to get exited about!

Albrecht AE-5900 Mini SSB @ Knights

 

Knights in the UK have a limited stock of the new Albrecht AE-5900!

Price: £199 

Personally I think this radio will be too fiddly to operate with my big fingers (especially on SSB) but I'm sure there will be plenty of people who will love it!

Well worth watching this interesting video showing what to expect when you buy a CB radio handset these days. 

Of course CB handsets have a very limited range due to the tiny antennas and you really need to invest in a longer antenna or get yourself up to the top of hill to get the most out of it. Even then, making contacts on a CB handset can be very challenging as stations tend to be spread far and wide. It's not like the 'good old days' when there were a hundred operators in every square mile!
