New McKinley EU

[Big Kahuna]

Has Echo built in and FM on the UK CB band 27.60125-27.99125.



It will be interesting to see if they ever release a way to unlock these radios for more coverage - SSB on 27.555 etc.

Still my favorite current CB on the market and still hoping for the mod.

If the EU version can be opened up for Freeband I'll pick up one for sure.

That video is brutal. The camera is focused at the rear wall, not the radio face.

Simon is usually much better on the video focus

He did say in his blog that this model will do the extra channels! Now I need to get my hands on one. Only issue is that they are as expensive as a Lincoln II which is ridiculous.

If this radio is the same size and operates the same as my existing McKinely I'll be super excited to have the extra frequencies. It may be the last export I buy....just kidding.

Latest video shows 24.715-30.105mhz.. has bands and has adjustable freq vfo type thing like AT6666.. I'd be in for one..

I think they took like 90 percent of Lincoln 2 and crammed it in.. more menu and less knobs is all.

He is calling out the EU version...

Isn't that radio Pin-head-FCC type Accepted?

if it is Type Accepted on this side of the pond, it may not be able to be modified for Wide Band use (because that makes too much sense)

Probably not. Its a European model.

I'm sure we can get them off UK sites when available..

 

[Bow]

True... or some of them will slide in as 10M rigs...

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

Anyone know what the UPC code is so I can search the European retailers?
