Which Would You Choose?

[Robb]

OK; just checked out the Service Manual for the 'President George'. Looks interesting. Never seen or heard that one before. But I suspect that since BOTH of those radios are ultimately made by Uniden (IIRC) they should both be formidable.

I would use one as a base; the other as a mobile. Trade positions for each radio from base to mobile. Re-test, compare, and let us know.

As far as I know, the Jackson II is the only current AM/FM/USB/LSB model they make, although there have been rumors of a Lincoln II, but that's all I`ve heard was rumors..
Also have a look at this thread for more Info.

There is supposed Grant II in the works also.

In my experience owning both radios, I've found that the Lincoln is a much better radio than the George.

I am interested in the George radio....

I recommend trying the President Boy George, kick ass rig.

personally i think performance wise the George has a slight edge, the Lincoln on the other hand is ergonomically much better laid out, has a continuous vfo and variable step sizes where the George is channelised.

both work well on SSB, but i'd choose the Lincoln every time when mobile over the fidgity controls on the George, homebase there ain't much between them, but i'd rather have a traditional cb style Grant/Jackson or Richard than any of the modern looking presidents.

both the Lincoln and the George were built by Uniden in China for President Electronics in France.

Long awaited Grant 2 or Lincoln 2 seem far away, but wouldn't surprise me if a Grant 2 comes out of the new Uniden 980 chassis with FM and multi bands added for European market. Wouldn't be the first time an American or Australian model has turned up renamed and spiced up in Europe.

more likely to be a lick ass rig than a kick ass one.

Earlier or later model

Is the one with the "asc" letters on the front an early or later model ? or are there anyway of telling,

 

[Beetle]

Is that "George" WASHINGTON, or BUSH?
