    Wondering if this radio ever made it to market or fizzled out !

    Thanks for the video and my fever says yes but my practical mind says no. I think I'll try to find a video on the McKinley II FCC Innards to what is inside that radio. I know I jumped the gun when I bought the President Thomas and got a chance to look inside. Slowly I'm learning to control the...

    Makes my old sad mind wonder if they had problems with the McKinley II FCC and that is why they came out with the George FCC ?

    Wondering if this radio ever made it to market or fizzled out !

    President Radio didn't have it listed on their web site ( McKinley II FCC ) the last I looked, unless I just missed it. I'll look again !

    Bell's CB radio shop rating

    I was looking around to buy 2 ea. President BT-Mikes so I checked their web site closer and they have a 900 number registered to a woman and not in the business name ( Fishy ) Then checked for a Better Business Bureau rating and was left Unimpressed. Might have to deal with Walcott radio again.

    Wondering if this radio ever made it to market or fizzled out !

    That could explain it but that seems crazy seeing people want FM & SSB also. I would liked to have got one but I just got my first McKinley straightened out and running good so it was hard to think of buying another one. Money doesn't grow on trees !

    New President Jerry fcc handheld

    Even my GE hand held 40 channel has a external antenna port which I have received good reports from others . Only trouble it isn't SSB or FM ! But at least I got a chuckle from your post.

    Wondering if this radio ever made it to market or fizzled out !

    I thought I heard earlier in the year that President Radio was suppose to come out with the McKinley II FCC or McKinley FCC that was suppose to have FM but I've been looking for it with no luck. Was wondering if that Idea got scrapped or was someone's wishful thinking?

    11 meter is very quiet?

    About the same here and if I get lucky and hear something when I call out on the base or mobile I get no answer. Frustration+

    Mobile Ham operations banned?

    Your absolutely right Jeff it is written as a Mess ! The only trouble is it cost a lot of time, money, & stress to hire a Philadelphia Lawyer and this Old Poor Boy doesn't have it. I read some where in the mess that as long as your vehicle was stationary you could use the radio to communicate...

    Here is a link my State Rep's secretary sent me today concerning the matter. Looks like something good for a Philadelphia lawyer. It can also be found on DTB Radio web site as I found it this morning. Have Fun ...

    Was wondering what kind of rating the forum members in here would give Bell's CB Shop as far as their tune-up and dependability work ?

    New President Jerry fcc handheld

    Maybe I'll sneak them a email and tell them they better listen to the market but I doubt that will do any good because they are ( Engineered To Be The Very Best ) LOL But I will say they are trying but just a little Ms-Guilded.

    New President Jerry fcc handheld

    I snooped around out of curiosity and the the price at Walcott Radio is $130 bucks but like you said no SSB the antenna connection doesn't appear to be a BNC connector so a President specific add on antenna unless someone finds hidden info I'm not aware of. Only appears the battery can only be...
