  1. Hi Simon I have looked on the president website an there appears to be no uk dealer of the radios anymore hence no one knows when the long boat comes from China

    • Hi Carl.

      There will be Knights, Thunderpole and Nevadaradio amongst others but they’ll not stick head out of sand until it’s in EU. According to reports nothing till probably March 2019.

      First shipment by air and the bulk order from Vietnam by ship as it’s Uniden Made.

      When more info it’s on the blog but it’ll come in Q1 my guess

      🧙‍♂️

    • There is “one radio” as far as I know in France. Then after will be test piece then orders.

      When I know more I’ll pop it on here.

      I’d rather it be slow and fine than quick and buggy

  2. love all these radios but I like the Richard and McKinley are the ones for me Simon, and its nearly the end 2018 so here goes whishing you and your family a Happy Health New Year, and to 2019 and what it brings from president

  3. Hi Simon the wait it seems is Finally over for the McKinley eu,at last a good looking an alll important new ssb radio,just hope it won’t suffer from the same issue as a new style president grant does ie,picks up all the noise anywhere but mobile

    Thanks for all the info

    Carl

    • Hi Carl. Belated Happy Christmas

      Nobody anywhere has the McKinley EU so cannot comment on anything. I’m excited and delighted it will come as it’s something that can be super. Uniden made and President EU engineered so will be interesting.

      Guess we need wait for it as no “sure date” just that it comes very soon..

      Happy New Year too when it comes 🧙‍♂️

      Simon

    • Boards have changed? Less Components. The “Delta” I’m told by truckers is excellent.. But needs radio with app, Bluetooth, small SSB like Morini. But Maxlog still sits on 8800 and nothing from 8900 that people want.

  4. Will be nice to see IF the McKinley EU opens up to other bands and if it comes with ‘optional’ UK?

    looks interesting radio!.I imagine it wont be cheap mind.

  5. President models made by Qixiang in China! The one who coppy before become the original!!! Funny, right? Frustrations welcome!
