President George FCC - $279

 

So people in the USA will be able to get their hands on the George FCC (The North American version of the George II) for only $279 which equates to £220 

When the George II came out at a price of £329 I did say that it was overpriced by around £100.....

President George FCC coming 2024

 

We discussed the rumours back in early July (LINK), exclusively confirmed the existence of the President George FCC in October (LINK) and finally the radio has appeared on the President website and is expected to be available in the new Year!

Early indications are a price equivalent to around £259 ($329) which is £70-80 cheaper than the cost in the UK (And some people still say that the George II isn't overpriced in the UK!)
