I think you hit the nail on the head ! That thought of I should have bought a Anytone has danced in my head before. LOL
Very true!! My McKinley was off frequency out of the box. Sounded fine on AM but SSB was another story. You’re right Loosecannon, the frequency alignment took about an hour. The factory will not spend an hour aligning a radio for SSB. AM sounds decent and they ship it. It really sucks because a radio should work like expected.
My McKinley wasn't only misaligned on side band but also had a bad part in the SSB circuit which cause distortion. That was discovered when I took it to DTB Radio shop so I reported it to President and then they sent it to a shop in NC and if I hadn't spoke up it would have went at MY expense. I guess they think we are made of money. WRONG
well this is just a personal opinion but DTB is not high on my list for honesty and integrity.
i won't say any more than that in the public forum.

Well the man at DTB did alright by me because he identified the source of the problem and reduced the price of the alignment he done for me because he didn't completely fix it with a alignment. That's more than the first tech did that President sent it to. He must of never tested it after his half- arse alignment. The third tech told President Radio to give me a new radio because it would cost too much to identify and replace the bad part. The happy ending is DTB identified the problem and I ended up with a Great New Little McKinley that Walks The Dog ! LOL
Whew, that's some restraint.....but you're a loose cannon anyway
id try to keep it if at all possible,can you pass it down to another family member?
i bought my president lincoln II+ new from walcott and its dead on freq lsb,usb,and am. only problem is i had a mic issue and walcott sent me new mic with return label for old mic
Nobody else in my family would give that old tractor the Love I did. Even my Step Dad about ran it into the ground with his slobbery along with his Son. I think I'm the only one that Loves Old Tractors. I'd like to see someone get it that would finish my work on it. At 72 YO it is getting harder for me to climb into the cockpit and I need a tractor with a bucket loader.
Well that is good you had success with Walcott's but I specifically ask them to check the alignment while it was on the bench for the 11 meter mod and would have been happy to pay for a alignment if neccessary. So I wouldn't have to put up with the BS I did with the McKinley. After I received the radio I called them up to ask a question to help me get start navigating the menu and sensed a attitude from the salesman I bought it from. That's something you don't do to a Volunteer VietNam veteran because I automatically have to go into the control mode. Attitude has no place in the business world especially after I just give you $359.00 of my hard earned money. Walcott Radio can stick-it where the Sun Doesn't Shine. And that wasn't the only thing I ever bought from them. Sorry for the Rant ! LOL
I bought a radio from Walcott paid for alignment screwed up right out of the box no more for me !!!
That's enough to make a man spit bullets. I'll join your club. LOL
i must been lucky or you got em on bad day. they were quick to help me and cure my problem
