President Jerry EU (CONFIRMED)
With the brilliant Thunderpole T-X taking a big chunk of recent CB handheld sales, President appear to have made the decision that it's time for a 'Budget Randy III' in the form of the President Jerry.
Expect the price to be lower than the Randy III but still higher than the Thunderpole T-X.
No mention of NRC (Noise Reduction Circuit) on the Jerry so the Thunderpole may still be the better bet....
