So here is once more and a real item of beauty. The photo is a homage to my friends at the http://www.echo-echo.pl DX Group and there club monitor frequency. To facts now. The people who told me I was wrong there is no A channels and no 5Kc step you are indeed wrong to have doubted me.
SO.
A channels known as 10KHz step: PRESS THE MIKE GAIN 1 SECOND OR SO AND WILL CHANGE
5KC: PRESS THE MIKE GAIN ONE SECOND AND THE MHZ BUTTON FLASHES AND FREQ CHANGES BY 10KHz
The Bands
Are like the Jackson II in the respect of how they are working, so here is the band plan
A 26965-27405
B 27405-27855
C 26515-26955
D 27865-28305
E 26065-26505
F 28315-28755
G 25615-26055
H 28765-29205
I 29215-29655
J 29665-30105
And for more details please check the you tube channel where the audio, signal, sound, receive and all other items will be made available really shortly.
And remember where the mods are first. simonthewizard.com and also you tube.

Hello!
I just ordered this radio, and am thinking about doing this mod for listening only outside the CB band, but does this affect the power output of the radio. Here it is legal to run 4W AM, 4W FM and 12W SSB.
And another question: Can I use a CB antenna (Wilson 1000) for listening outside of the CB band? I would not transmit at all, all the transmitting would take place in the A-band.
Cheers from Finland!
it is a really nice radio but In the EU only that you can buy this radio
It is difficult to buy it because the postage is high in Japan
Can buy from Dave Katsu 91DD018 regards Simon
ok i ask to Dave 91DD018 for it . thaks a lot Simon
Your welcome Katsu and hope your well. Long time since last QSO. Please check http://www.yeticomnz.com he has them on his shop page. 73 Simon

They look the perfect dimensions for car mounting in dashboard space,do they come with a slide mount like a car stereo or is one available?
Thanks
No mounting comes but it’s DIN size and case seems Johnson II.
Mike, Power Lead, Bracket & Screws
Check Knights on eBay all there (“,) and price and availability
Ok thanks for info,splits are always handy though .
Will this conform to the new legal system in the UK ?
Yes but it’s a CB not amateur radio so splits not legal on CB
Yes conforms 100% to new UK norms Grant II just need change band to EU
Hi there,do we know the power output ?
And is split possible?Thanks
No Split
Power need check export around 20w but need check tomorrow
CB don’t need splits. Lincoln II has split so all ok
You can eat you kebab from it but not have rice.
Best thing I have heard all week.
Markus…..Hurry up.
I have seen in other DE shops the Lincoln 2, which is not out yet, has a RRP of 329 Euro. 100 (ish) more than the G2?
Whats your take on this Simon?
Hi Tim
Nice to read you. Lincoln II I’m not sure what price it will be. Most people are simply just guessing now. The Grant II now lies is well made. Tidy inside, clean, sharp, tidy and you know and see the quality it is from production.
I think will be soon in DE maybe keep an eye on Markus http://www.neuner.de he will get some and hope for me too!
About the kebad was meaning it’s clean enough to eat your dinner from 🙂
Warm Wishes
Simon
well Simon a very nice radio and it looks like a winner
Tnx Simon, looks like a very nice radio!
Very excited to see your experience with it on your YouTube channel.
Bey for now,
Bert
