So it started when I looked on eBay and saw a 3/8th UP base from President. Having used the UP. Base with SO239 so I thought why not use the 3/8 for the mid loaded Stryker SR-A10 or Monkey MM9 or indeed the Sirio Turbo 5000 on 3/8th thread but inside Europe they are not available.
So Base was manufactured in Barcelona, guess went via Balaruc to Naples Florida and onto Saint Petersburg Florida. I bought it from there and it went via Cincinnati to Erlanger Kentucky. And then via Germany and Austria to Budapest.
And now I can run it on the antennas stared plus Modulators, Videostars and others. The multi magnet works for me but seems even if sell a few you cannot buy an EU mate item in the EU.
So worth it in the end. Let the tests begin

Looks like a good mag mount. Did you buy it through E-bay as I noticed a place I recognized in St. Petes Florida 🙂
It was bought via eBay and used global shipping with the seller being cb4uusa
Cheers Simon. I now live in the USA, actually been here two decades, I’ll be getting myself one now. Best wishes. Shane in Central Maine USA
Going to try it over the weekend hopefully. I just thought the SO239 Base I use is great so try this one. Not available outside of USA so you need try another way. Added cost via import duties but it’s arrived and the main thing.
Happy DX’ing
Odd that its not available out of the States. Always loved PResident radios, had them back in the illegal days in the UK and now have them over here. I have the Pres. Grant 2. Love it. I will enjoy reading/Watching your review. Best Wishes.. Shane
Yep that’s how it goes. The other base not in USA and this not in EU. Want to try it with a Monkey Made, the Stryker and Sirio. If you get one send us a video of skip talking, always great to see.
Best Wishes to central Maine 🧙♂️
I will do. In fact, I will order one this weekend and as soon as I get it, I will send you a video. Best Wishes 73 etc.. Shane 02CT2781
Will be waiting and great success and good contacts 🧙♂️
cheers!
Looks like blockchain to me!
