    UR6QW & UX4LA 10 Band Digital Sound Equalizer Echo Roger w/ Boom Mic 4 pin Cobra

    I'm selling a basic boom mike with a UR6QW digital edition. Had some pretty amazing audio with this little setup into a Anytone Ares II. https://www.ebay.com/itm/205034686733?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

    AT-5555N2 short version

    Can you post up the measurements on the case size? Width, depth, and height? I was hoping some of the new short case models might be truly short like the McKinely but alas they are still pretty long. Wish they'd figure out how to make export radios not so deep for mounting in modern cars.

    Repeater: Is anyone going to buy the President Washington to use it for the "relay" function?

    Did a system reset and then the split started working so not sure what I was doing wrong. Split works in all modes. Relay works in FM only but does work with Split function so it can act like a repeater. It only works if you have a CTCSS or DCS code set up. Not sure what happens if two people...

    Repeater: Is anyone going to buy the President Washington to use it for the "relay" function?

    Got a hold of a washington and have been playing around a bit testing it. I converted it and tried the split function but it doesn't seem to work in either ham mode or export mode so not sure what is up with that. I was testing out the automatic relay function. It mentions having a split which...

    Repeater: Is anyone going to buy the President Washington to use it for the "relay" function?

    Pretty interesting to see this feature included. AUTOMATIC RELAY This function turns your PRESIDENT WASHINGTON into an automatic relay point. Once set up, your radio will automatically transmit the message received on the RX reception channel to the TX transmission channel. The duration of...

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Yes, the George is too big for single DIN mounting in the dash and the Washington will also be too big for that. President McKinley EU with the front firing speaker is the best best if you want extra channels and dash mount.

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Looks like a version of the President George II (EU) for the USA market to replace the Lincoln II. After using the President George FCC I actually think this will be a nice radio. I wanted to try the George II but didn't want to drop $400 to get it sent over from Europe. The NRC on these is nice...

    Anytone Ares 2

    Are you setting the Aires II to dynamic when using the older microphones? If not that's why none of they are sounding very good. I currently have the Aires II paired with a UR6QW and a boom mic and it sounds pretty amazing.

    President George FCC

    Been testing for the last two weeks in the mobile. RX and NRC is really nice on the radio. TX Audio is very crisp and clear once adjusted and made a ton of DX contacts with everyone saying it sounds great on air. Biggest complaint - volume level is not usable in the mobile until it's turned...

    President George FCC

    My biggest wish for this radio that wasn’t satisfied was ability to flip the large display to show freq. on my mckinley eu the freq display is tiny when freebanding or talking 10 meters. I’m also hoping there will be an underground software USB update that leaks from the Chinese factory that...

    President George FCC

    Been testing for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the radio before I post a video. Some notes so far. - Power is about what you’d expect, no surprises. Same as other newer FCC radios doesn’t swing much from a low carrier. - Modulation was set pretty tame out of the box. Can be adjusted by...

    Anytone Ares 2

    From what I can tell that is just the monitor function and not the TX audio. I did the on-air audio TX test in my video and that reverb sound isn't there on the receiving radio. I do notice it with the monitor function on though, but doesn't bother me.
