New President Washington Mobile Radio?

[Shadetree Mechanic]

Peak reading on AM is important to ensure proper envelope growth. A scope can be handy for this, unless you like sounding flat and pinched up. Be my guest....

Unless it's a Daiwa, then it's a 1/4.

Double it for Dosy.

Very doubtful. Seems like most of the new mobile radios have menu buttons, and 2 maybe 3 knows. IMO, driver unfriendly.
I much prefer the knobs on my Grant XL to a menu button that one has to read to adjust things.

I agree, these radios that are menu driven completely suck for Mobil operations. Especially if you can't directly see the display. They have a lot of nice features but still suck in the mobile.

I want to be a Guinee pig, I normally don't get excited about digital radios but the automatic relay function would be valuable here in the hill country. Hopefully it will work in simplex mode. I wish I could find more info on the automatic repeat function on the George II export.
Also president warranty service is some of the best.

No, there is no warranty if you take the covers off for any conversion or mods. No warranty for any 10-12 meter radios unless it's bone stock never been opened and bought from a legitimate dealer.

Have your dealer do the conversion. I have experience with ranger and president warranty repair.

Just bought one from NWelectronis for $289US which I fine pretty reasonable as everyone else is selling for $389US, cant wait to see how it compares with the at-6666 pro.

Let us know the comparison.

They still have them listed for $289. But you don't see that price until you select that radio to view specifications, etc.

Glad I was able to to get that price, I am sure I will have some duties to pay when it gets to Canada.
