President Grant 2........?

[Lil'Yeshua]

how high does it go on 10mtrs and is clar unlocked?

I think just shy of 29 MHz. Either M0OGY or Simon The Wizard or CBRadioMagazine mentioned it in one of their videos.

Are you sure about that? Might want to edit your post. Don't want to misinform the masses.

Grant II is made in Vietnam.

Well how about that. I stand corrected. Certainly do not want to mis inform the masses.

How do we get one of these President 10 meter radios short of ordering from a UK radio shop? I like my HTX-100 and Uniden 2510 but they are getting old and starting to have issues. Frankly, I'd like to have a 10 meter rig to play mobile with that isn't 20 plus years old and I don't really want to sink the money into an HF rig for my truck just to use 10 meters.

I'd like to have one too. Maybe this guy would help.

Because of distribution agreements between President and Uniden these radios can not be distributed in North America which means that distributors and shops can't import them in bulk.

In North America if you're interested in one of these radios you'll need to purchase it from a UK shop. You'll probably see these showing up on eBay as well.

Two trusted Dealers I use the first is very local to me, mention me (M0OGY/Oggy) if you decide to order, I'm sure they can do a good deal for you.

Next question: who in the states might be an authorized service center for these radios?

Check out the CB lingo at the back of the user manual :O

No one will ever be authorized for stateside warranty repair.

Has anybody investigated any tune mods for the Grant 2

That's mighty crappy of them. They're on my poo poo list.

Couple of additional notes - Uniden Wireless microphone (in stock form) will not work with the Grant II, I believe this is due to a voltage difference on Pin 6 between the Grant II and 980. I did however try the 6 pin to 4 pin adapter that comes with the Uniden 980 on the Grant II and since pin 6 voltage isn't an issue I was able to test 4 pin microphones on the radio without re-wiring.

Knights stated the radio is illegal in USA and spoke of customs issues. Seems like the lawyers have people nervous.

But, they did say shipping to USA would be around $50.

I wouldn't gamble with customs. I imagine they would declare exactly what it is.
