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

What kind of mics are being used for the VOX feature?

The manual just mentions an optional VOX mic. Will the rear jack accept a typical computer headset combo?

I'd take Viet Nam over China.

ROTFLMFAO, I thought you guy's already had tried that, sorry like Jeff on munchy boxes I just couldn't resist it. Oh Dear llf.

I'm sure China would be even more difficult than Nam or Iraq or Afghanistan, I've tackled a few Chinese buffets in my time and they pose significantly more problems than your average munchy box,lmao like chemical warfare on a culinary scale,lmao.

Now you guys know the secret of why Glaswegians are so fiery, alcohol,dope and munchy box or chinese, an explosive mix, although often the munchy box or chinese isn't neccessary as more often than not a fight will kick of in the takeaway if you put your order in first and some fucker gets theirs before you, :censored:

What do yo guys think of our new emeging potential number 1 delicacy?

Is it any wonder between booze,fags,drugs and them our city has a lower life expectancy than Baghdad, and that's before you add in Psychos running about with blades, samurai swords and guns,and that's just the 12 year olds, and they've got the nerve no call it No Mean City, more like Fuck You City, a few years back we won the European city of Culture, a bit akin to winning the Nobel Peace Prize for inventing nuclear or Chemical weapons,

within a year or two we were nominated as the murder capital of Europe, Here its not shoot someone from 20 or more feet, its up close and personal stabbings, always been the number one weapon in Glasgow although Mac 10's and shit like that are starting to hit the streets, which brings a whole new dimension to spray that again when someones slabbering pish fluently at you.

We have more street gangs than London, and some of the girls will open you up faster than the boys, back in my ICF days we had the rangers Ladies crew too, fuck they could go too, as could the Rangers Soccer Babes, The ICF sent them into Central Station one day to hack up the Celtic Soccer Crew adult firm,and they did,badly, The Inter City Firm as it was called due to travelling on Inter City Trains,was notorious all over Europe, I've never been on a train yet where anyone was nervous of visiting anywhere,we've had it with Spurs and Millwall in London and done them, only thing I ever seen were huge amounts of weed,speed,coke and LSD consumed before we went terrorising,we are banned forever from Manchester and any games in Champions league against any republic of Ireland team is always played on a neutral venue as they are the highest catagory of games for trouble in Europe along with England international games,of whch many ICF also attend as they have links with all the notorious right wing English firms,when it kicked off in Dublin between the Republic and England many of the faces were Glaswegian or from Linfield in the north's section B, collectively along with Linfield and Chelsea headhunters they are known as the blues brothers and now SV Hamburg from Germany have joined the pact too.

Taking into account Glasgow is a tiny City compared to London,Most European cities and most American cities with a population around 1 million, it is a very unique mentality, one in,all in, its been like that since way before I was born and will be the same way after I'm gone, its in the blood, Gangs are our modern equivalent of Clans and are very territorial, In Glasgow "where you from ?" means either your getting done in or stabbed and shite can destroy a persons credibilty in one word, but for me its home and I get homesick everytime I leave the banks of the Clyde, where some of the worlds finest ships were built,including the Confederacy gun runner the Robert E Lee,wee bit of history for you guys, the gun running still prevails to this day albeit the destination has swung from the Southern States to N.Ireland, European City of Glasgow was a classic, a number of years ago the city council in their infinite wisdom came out with Glasgow'smiles better, lmao, A Glasgow smile is an ear to ear slash, you couldn't make this shit up, a glsgow kiss is a headbutt to the face.

Only 20 miles or so up the road you have some of the finest scenery in the world including Loch Lomond, unbelievable, I'm sure David Highlander 821 who visits family on the outskirts in Clydebank another warzone I used to live in as it borders Glasgows notorious Drumchapel and Yoker districts in the west end will confirm this, Sorry I didn't get your PM till after you'd been last time David, will be a pleasure to meet you next time your over, Yet depite all this in daylight hours Glaswegians can be very friendly and helpful towards lost tourists, at night whole different place, no wonde they call it a tale of two cities. It's even worse on days when Rangers play Celtic as not only does it kick off at the game but all over the city and beyond at night fuelled by a volatile mix of sectarian hatred,drink and drugs, Police are drafted in from all over the area for that one

But home is where the heart is and my heart lies here as its all I've ever known. The entertainment value is high, the dope so good my city is now an exporter and the crack a laugh, one thing Glaswegians have in abundance is a sense of hunour, you fucking need it to survive,lol.

Thank fuck I'm getting too old for all that shit and just want a peaceful life.

Have to say that having been all over Scotland I only ever found one chippy that actually had deep fried mars bars on the menu and that was in Saltcoates.

The stock mike plugged in to the front works with VOX. Not sure what you are supposed to plug in the rear. But it's a smaller hole than that of the extension speaker socket.
 
The VOX function allows transmitting by speaking into the original microphone
(or in the optional vox microphone) without pressing the PTT switch (17). In
case of the use of an optional vox mike connected to the rear panel of the
radio - VOX MIC jack (D), the original microphone doesn’t work.


from the Manual.

I would guess some type of headset for mobile use.

That's kinda what I'm thinking as well. I assume it will likely be wireless or something. I'm just surprised that no info has surfaced yet.

Maybe that jack will accept some kind of dongle or something.
 
It's strange how the Uniden 880, 980 and the President Grant have different 6 pin wiring schemes.

I figured my 880 (which I really like, BTW) would be wired the same as the 980. I tried my superstar pistol grip that was wired for my 980 on the 880 and it wouldn't work without rewiring.

I was also hoping the Grant II manual would show the pinout, but it doesn't.

Hopefully, Simon can expound on the external VOX jack.
 
The vox jack is to connect a little microphone tho use it hands free.

President sells this little microphone to use with the vox function.
Most of the current president models have this function.
