New McKinley EU

[Mudfoot]

I didn't pay close attention, but is it the same board as the current McKinley?

I'll wait and see how they sound. Don't want no noisey Lincolnish sounding rig.

Mckinley USA is PB-373AB


Mckinley EU is PB-376AB

Board has the white wire and jumper near front panel. US version doesn't have that or FM option..so probably different.

I looked as best I could in M0OGY's new video and it's definitely a different board.

I can see the adjustment points - AMC, ALC, ALCH at the back which is different also. Interesting.

Check out the video at 20:31 to see the board -

Nevada radio got back to me about my general inquiry about it and said they could not ship it to the USA.

I wonder how much it would cost to have a forwarding company assist? Maybe we could do a group buy?

I responded back and advised them I am a amateur radio operator. They said then it might be possible. They have had some issues with customs and grabbing radios that could be used on CB bands. He said to contact him again in 2 weeks and we'll see then he stated. So maybe if you got a ham ticket that helps. I will keep you Informed.

Enjoy the radio if you buy one, I like the one I have here, IMO the best radio GPE have made for a long time.......Dave (M0OGY) UK.

I want one but the price is looking pretty prohibitive for USA customers. It's more than a Stryker 955 HPC (new version). That's a tough sell.

Would you say the receive is better or the same as the Lincoln 2+ ??

Seems very similar.. just smaller package..

Uniden was stupid not to slip something in their 980 or even have a "EURO" model

They do, the President Grant II

Receive sensitivity hasn't been an issue on CBs for at least three if not four or more decades. All CBs can hear a signal to 12dB SINAD below the galactic noise floor on the 11m band meaning they can hear well below the noise floor of the quietest place on planet earth RF wise.
