President Jackson 2 Chrome CB Radio - EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK!
The World first look at the President Jackson 2 Chrome Classic CB Radio!
President Jackson 2 CHROME - World's First Photos!
So the rumours appear to be correct (Someone did buy one!) and here we have it, the first pictures of an actual President Jackson 2 CHROME in the real world!
Looks like a lovely radio for sure and very difficult to get your hands on due to a limited supply.
Out of the box it has all the usual Multi EU bands with 4 watts AM/FM and 12 watts SSB, and can of course be set to EXPORT mode with a little extra output power.
It remains to be seen if this radio will become a truly 'classic' President. Only time will tell!

This video shows a 'home brew' QRP SSB transceiver in use and sure is working well! Great use of an old CB radio case.

Yosan Micro CB Radio
Video: Youtube/Rigserach
Small seems to be all the rage these days! This radio has been around for a while. Not as good looking as the Albrecht AE6110 in my opinion but still a nice little radio that manages to do what radios costing 5 times as much cannot - It gives you AM in UK mode!

President Jackson 2 CHROME:
Nevada Starts A Price War? - £239
So it's started, first we had Knights pricing the President Jackson 2 Chrome at £249. Now we have Nevada firing the first shot with a price of £239 (Thats when they get them in stock of course, so you may need to wait). LINK: CLICK HERE
As I have already said on the blog, I had one of these radios in my hands last week and was tempted but the price put me off. It has not gone unnoticed that some 10 days after the radios became available a search of YouTube comes up with ZERO videos of this new radio. That suggests that I am not the only one who thinks the price is too high. Normally when a new radio comes out you find videos/reviews on YouTube within hours of the radio going on sale. Yes they are in limited supply but there are now plenty of radio dealers around Europe who have them in stock. You'd think that SOMEONE would have bought one a stuck it up on YouTube!
Maybe the well publicised problems with the President Grant 2 and President Lincoln 2 are still playing on peoples minds?
Poor band conditions no doubt have also had a part to play. It is understandable that when the radio is so quiet people don't feel like spending hard earned cash on new equipment.
So I wonder, which supplier (if any) will be the first to offer this radio at a price under £200?
The answer is - Probably none of them! But I'm sure that if it were to happen, this radio would sell really well!
