Klaus HF-Doktor has released the video of his newly modified “Premium” Grant II. German language video now available on youtube and of course we have the link for you below should you be interested to go watch the video
Modifications include push button EU/Export, Variable Power across all bands and modes including export. Not sure if he has added fine/course at the moment, sure time will show this of course.
Klaus Writes: On the subject of President Grant II Premium (v3) multi function channel switch I still have a video now posted on YouTube. The new functions are shown and explained. The old v1 and v2 modifications now there is a completely different way. The concept that has been used needs a very high level of effort to make this version be realised.
(V3) HF-Doktor Modified Version III
But notice to signal meter, the noise level even now is terrible and high, lower than mine a small amount but really high.

The Grant is a really nice looking rig, I really want to like it. But it is a POS.
If they’re going to charge over £200 for a single band rig, make it a good one, after all, it is made in the President factory.
If they can’t do that, just get an old Lincoln, bring it up to date, better, not with cheap components, use proper PAs like the Motorolas and produce a quality rig, that the market will be happy to pay over £200 for.
I paid £200 for my new Lincoln in 2004, I got value for money.
