Thanks go to Sean for sending the news Nevadaradio has dropped the price of the President Ronald 12/10m. Seems a few places around are doing the same. My comments are known, I’m not a fan of 12m AM/FM and it would be better if they’d allowed for the UK channels to be programmed correctly so 27.6012 Being channel 1 and not channel 16 as it is today which is a throwback to old school export radios.
Nevada has it now for a good price in my opinion as the build is the best of the small series, AM audio is great and lots of options in a small box. And yes I know! No SSB

think they missed the trick of UK band in export mode,maybe flash update V2.0
I would think very easy to config the flash E2prom on board for extra band plan
Oh South america uses narrow fm ,unsure if marketing there?
Brazil cb market allow am,fm (ssb)30w legal so maybe looking there too?
Just speculating 🙂
As we know President can pull tricks out of the bag at anytime. You can use it now on UK if needed but channel 16 band D is channel 1 on UK. Homage to the old Ronald maybe as was low, mid and hi
Looks like this radio has been a bit of a flop, price is dropping like a brick just a few weeks after launch but at £149 it’s still way overpriced.
Stick SSB in it at this price and it would sell for sure.
Remember it’s home is for NA and Canada not so much Europe. And looks nicer $139 not £150
I don’t think it is aimed at NA market where FM isn’t authorised on CB.
It’s like Stryker SR-94 HPC which covers 10/11m. The Ronald is the same idea
A: Small
B: High Power
The SR-955 HPc Stryker you think also not for NA? As with FM too. And the SR-655 HPc or the Rangers. All are used in NA and all come with FM
Absolutely agree about SSB totally and absolutely agree but no replies from france about it. But size and also power etc I would sure like in SSB format 😀😀
