if your radio is already expanded the menu option doesn't appear. do you have t0 or t5 displayed on screen when turning on? you could do a reset AL which would undo the expansion and revert to standard.
lol, I put out a video showing the 11 meter mod, But President called me and begged me to take the video down. I hope you keep your video up, this info should be available. Thanks for the great review, 73's
Ahahahahah, this is one of the man with a whole bungle of CB Radios, I watch all your videos over the years bro, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!!!.
Hi @MowerJunkie, maybe its a sensitivity in the US with President and the FCC. I am based near the UK and have reviewed many President radios and have around 20 in my collection. President have never contacted me or offered to send units for review unlike other manufactures. The EU CB models have full export mode functionality built in, but as far as I am aware the FCC models / variants have to remove this before they get approved. It's likely that as the HAM 10-Meter radios are sold in both locations and are the same units there could be some issues where President might then have to offer two different models if the regulator kicked off about it. I am just guessing as to why they would have contacted you and asked for you to remove your video. Thanks for watching and commenting. I have subscribed to your channel. All the best MJ7NLK
@francisharvey1811 It's a GTA7000 tuner / metronome made by a company called On-Stage. Amazon link here amzn.to/4fRW7IP They are quite cheap and the batteries last for ages. Thanks for watching, all the best MJ7NLK
Hi Robert, I hope all is well with you. The fans arrived last week and I was like a kid at Christmas to finally get them :-) I have been waiting so long for the fans, as has everyone else. I could have Jerry Rigged other fans to work but I wanted to ensure the genuine President fans were used to see how noisy they were and how effective they were. I hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching. MJ7NLK
@@NLKMediaGroupit was well worth the weight to see it put through its paces. It seems like there's a lot of competition in this type and size radio, so I always look forward to seeing your next video/review.
@@roberthoffman4713 Next up on the bench is the CB-27Pro which I am currently playing with. I have six radios in the que to review and another one arriving tomorrow and am trying my best to get through them all before any more get released 🙂Thank you for watching the videos and for commenting. It makes the hard work worth while knowing the content is being enjoyed. MJ7NLK
To Expand the radio, we have to make the bridge, and put the jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 ! (Gorge 2) What happens if only the jumper was moved and the bridge will not be made ?? I thought about buying the Gorge 2 but now i´m happy to have seen this video because the Expanding Modifications can be made by the menu. Because my technical and handcrafting skills are comparable to those of a Squirrel ! But a selection of a menu is no problem i think. And when i search here in the German CB-Radio shops. The difference between George 2 and Washington is about 15-20 Euro. And the fans are 8,90 euro each ! The Washington is it. Decision made !
The Washington needs to have the internal modification made in order to get the menu option. The radio I was sent had the modification made on the underside of the board which I didn't notice when recording the video. So you need to do both in order to expand. The Washington is a lovely radio and I hope your getting lots of enjoyment using it. All the best and thanks for commenting. MJ7NLK
the screwholes on the heatsink to mount fans is very good and it's GREAT that the engineers have put sockets in the radio to connect the fan electricly. how warms does the final transistor get when transmitting at max TX pwr for 10 hours at 20°C room temperature ?
It's good to have the option to add fans and they do work well. I had to set the temp protection to 35 degrees and key up for a while to get them to kick in and my studio is kept at 22 degrees with AC. I haven't tried TX'ing for 10 hours on the radio :-) You won't have any issues with both fans fitted and setting the temp protection to 50 degrees. The fans will cut in when needed to reduce the temp. I didn't see any crazy high temps while undertaking the power tests on the radio so the heat is managed well. Hope this helps. MJ7NLK
Thanks for the info. Might try it when I have more time. 74W is still very impressive on SSB with unlock code and hassle free. All the best and thanks for commenting. MJ7NLK
Damm you guys are full of radios up there in America, I jus wish I could get a CB Radio from one of you guys, please an thanks, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!!!.
It's a lovely radio and I hope you have been enjoying using yours. Knights have the cooling fans in stock at the moment www.kcb.co.uk so grab some while you can. All the best and thank you for watching and commenting. 73 MJ7NLK
I would love to put one up. On the old US analog remote aircraft band, Just above the US cb band. In the menu the re "relay" function is the repeater function. Which works only in FM. I think when you add the jumper wire bridging the solder points it gives full repeater operation to the radio. It also has a hidden record retransmit function for contesting. With the solder points bridged together.
In order to expand properly you need to solder the mod. My radio was already modified but on the underside of the board which I didn't notice at first. I pinned a comment on the video to let everyone know shortly after finding out :-) All the best and thank you for commenting. MJ7NLK
Absolutely love your reviews! And Freds lol I just want the QT-80 and I hope they will be offering a bundle sale soon. It would be a great Christmas present to myself lol. I have the QT-40 and I love it. Of course its been modified to the max and it does 60watts FM 40w AM and 80w SSB and is capable of doing 80w on FM and AM but it gets to hot so I'm just guessing that the QT-80 would be capable of 100+ if adjusted right. I know that the Washington will do around 115+watts "modded"
Thank you for watching and your feedback is greatly appreciated. The heat-sink on the back of the QT80 is substantial and does a great job of keeping the temps under control. It sounds like the QT80 is a great fit on your upgrade path. There is supposed to be a new CRT SS9900 coming very soon which I am expecting to be the same radio as the QT80. Will be interesting to see if there are any differences. Hopefully Radioddity will have a bundle deal at some point closer to Christmas. 73 MJ7NLK
please can you tell me if the Washington and the GeorgeII have the same quality of receiver in terms of qrm rejection and bf audio in the speaker? And what about the quality of the transmitter ? thanks

Hi - the gadget you are using for making a tone with testing the radio - where can I get one like that or simular'ish? - Tnx for a nice video. Just bought myself a Washington, and it just shipped to me :)
its a guitar tuner, made by On-Stage the model is GTA7000 Chromatic Tuner/Metronome/Tone Generator and you can get them on Amazon for under £30. Hope your enjoying the Washington and are making lots of new contacts. All the best and thanks for watching. MJ7NLK
glad you got the fans at long last glad they were worth the wait but it seems most radios can go 11,12,10 meters so how can be legal in UK I know you go into menu's but it that hard to do I'm not radio ham operator myself but I can figure some radios out cheers loving the videos also watch Fred in the Shed 73s
The Washington is type approved for the 10 meter band and if you transmit on those frequencies you are required to have a ham license to do so legally in the UK and most places. Anyone can listen, you don't need a license for that. If you expand the Washington to cover the 11 meter band its not type approved for that band but ignoring that detail, you still need to remain within the law / rules of 4 watts maximum / 12 watts PEP. Pumping 50 watts on 11 meters would be illegal regardless of the license you hold. If your ham license band plan covers 10 and 12 meter frequencies and you remain within your license parameters then your ok but always check your licenses and ensure your operating within the defined parameters. The fans took ages to arrive, I had almost given up hope of them ever arriving. All the best and thanks for watching. 73 MJ7NLK
Not that I am aware of, only the setting you have already found. I hope your enjoying using your Washington. Its a powerhouse and pleasure to use. All the best MJ7NLK
Blessed love my brother, Great show always, My problem is, Why President stop making the HR2510 ????. Damm bro, I love that radio so Damm much, Can you believe I have two of them down here in Jamaica, an I can't get them fix, Damm am so upset, Can you get some form of answer for me please and thanks, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!!!.
The Uniden HR2510 / President Lincoln was from the late 80's. I think it was around 1989 or maybe 1990. The HR2510 and Lincoln were effectively the same radio. You can still buy the President Lincoln 2+ which is the latest version of that line but they stopped making the original Lincoln a long time ago. All the best and thanks for watching. MJ7NLK
I have this new radio but the talkback is heard very little and sometimes not at all and it is at maximum and they do not want to give me a guarantee. What could be the problem?
I also have President Lincoln 11 and the talkback is very loud on that radio and I want President Washington to be heard that way. I don't know if it's possible.
It's quoted as drawing up to a maximum of 12amps but I didn't see anything greater than 9 amps in my testing. A 20 amp PSU would be best. I use a KPS3020D made by Nankadf which is a bench supply and rated for 20 amps. They also do a KPS3030D which is 30 amps but for the Washington 20 amps is more than enough. Hope this helps. All the best and thanks for watching MJ7NLK
I don't think so no. We don't have NOAA Weather channels in Europe so the EU radios don't generally have support for it. I checked the US website and the NA version info and its not mentioned as having support for weather channels. Best wishes MJ7NLK
I kinda take issue with the fact that the manufacture sells add-on fans that should have been built into and included with the radio. It's like buying a car and paying extra if you want oil in the engine.
I agree and state this in the video. The fans should be included and part of the package. To get the most out of the radio you need the fans. Just another way of making money. Still, its a great radio and nice to use. All the best and thanks for watching. MJ7NLK
Me again, Is like Avanti an the OLD 2 beam antenna, it seems like they stop making it years now, Honestly I don't know why Maco, or Serio won't get the Patten, or Rights to make it, Damm that antenna was great back in the 80s in Jamaica, Can you get some form of answers for me please and thanks, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!!!.
Check out the antenna offered by Moonraker here: moonrakeronline.com/amateur-radio/ham-amateur-radio-antennas/beam-and-yagi-antennas/moonraker Maybe they have something similar. Hope this helps MJ7NLK
anyone paying this for what is at the end of the day a cb radio have more money than sense. you could possibly pick up a second hand yaesu 891with 100watts output for not much more and will blow these away. i use a superstar 360 FM mk2 from 1981 which is still in mint condition and will still be running like a Swiss watch in another forty years when the current crop of new smd radios have been consigned to the dustbin of history
A used FT-450D would be a good choice for a few hundred more, a used FT-897D is almost double the price but is a fantastic radio. It's a shame they don't make the 450D any longer, I really liked that radio. The President McKinley is the last semi-traditional radio with plenty of trim-pots inside for adjustment. Everything since then is tiny SMD components and SOC based.
Firstly, the price of the Washington is much too expensive for what it is, plus you have to buy an extra fan, sorry, no thanks, I had the thing in my hand but the controls like adjusting the power are annoying and disrupts radio operation because of the carrier, I got the AnyTone AT 6666 Pro, 4 bands, top receiver, power management, power adjustable at any time, etc. and the price is almost 100€ cheaper than President!
The Anytone AT6666Pro is the same radio as the Radioddity QT80 which I have covered on the channel. Its much cheaper than the Washington and has the same power output and capabilities. The Washington should come with the fans for the price. It doesn't make sense to me that you have to buy them on top of the radio price to use the one feature that makes the Washington different to the Anytone and Radioddity. All the best and thanks for commenting. MJ7NLK
Lol why would you wait for their stupid fan packs? I just got on Amazon and bought 2x40 mm fans and was ready to rip! I wouldn’t buy there fans they are way overpriced. Forget that I got way cheaper.
I did consider sourcing some myself online but would have been asked by viewers about how loud the stock fans are and how much air flow they have and if they are any good. They are overpriced for what is essentially a couple of cheap fans, a few screws and a grill. Reviewing the official product provides the info to everyone else so they can make up their minds on what to purchase. All the best and thanks for watching. MJ7NLK
Just want to say this, since I am constantly bombarded by ham radio videos- I don't give a flying f*** about ham radios, nor have I EVER expressed an iota of interest in them. I have never clicked on a video even remotely about radios. I have clicked the "Not interested" button over and over and over again. I have tried just "don't recommend channel", over and over again as well. How many damn ham radio channels are there? NOTHING works. RUclips SUCKS. Rant over. Have a good day.
Hi Clay, I have no control over the RUclips algorithm and have no idea why its recommending you HAM / CB radio content if you have no previous viewing interest in this area. There are lots of radio channels as its a very popular and wide ranging subject. It also bleeds over into areas like prepping and off-roading which rely on radio equipment. Hopefully RUclips will fix the issue with your feed. Best of luck and wishes MJ7NLK

It would be great if all radios had an external fan jack and mounting screw holes on the heat sink. That would make it a lot easier to add custom cooling.
Don't seem to have the password menu. have they changed the menu?
if your radio is already expanded the menu option doesn't appear. do you have t0 or t5 displayed on screen when turning on? you could do a reset AL which would undo the expansion and revert to standard.
My radio just goes straight to channel and does not show t0 or t5. Radio is only 3 days old.

Firstly, the price of the Washington is much too expensive for what it is, plus you have to buy an extra fan, sorry, no thanks, I had the thing in my hand but the controls like adjusting the power are annoying and disrupts radio operation because of the carrier, I got the AnyTone AT 6666 Pro, 4 bands, top receiver, power management, power adjustable at any time, etc. and the price is almost 100€ cheaper than President!
The Anytone AT6666Pro is the same radio as the Radioddity QT80 which I have covered on the channel. Its much cheaper than the Washington and has the same power output and capabilities. The Washington should come with the fans for the price. It doesn't make sense to me that you have to buy them on top of the radio price to use the one feature that makes the Washington different to the Anytone and Radioddity. All the best and thanks for commenting. MJ7NLK
Lol why would you wait for their stupid fan packs? I just got on Amazon and bought 2x40 mm fans and was ready to rip! I wouldn’t buy there fans they are way overpriced. Forget that I got way cheaper.
I did consider sourcing some myself online but would have been asked by viewers about how loud the stock fans are and how much air flow they have and if they are any good. They are overpriced for what is essentially a couple of cheap fans, a few screws and a grill. Reviewing the official product provides the info to everyone else so they can make up their minds on what to purchase. All the best and thanks for watching. MJ7NLK
Just want to say this, since I am constantly bombarded by ham radio videos- I don't give a flying f*** about ham radios, nor have I EVER expressed an iota of interest in them. I have never clicked on a video even remotely about radios. I have clicked the "Not interested" button over and over and over again. I have tried just "don't recommend channel", over and over again as well. How many damn ham radio channels are there? NOTHING works. RUclips SUCKS.
Rant over. Have a good day.
Hi Clay, I have no control over the RUclips algorithm and have no idea why its recommending you HAM / CB radio content if you have no previous viewing interest in this area. There are lots of radio channels as its a very popular and wide ranging subject. It also bleeds over into areas like prepping and off-roading which rely on radio equipment. Hopefully RUclips will fix the issue with your feed. Best of luck and wishes MJ7NLK

@@ragheadand420roll I don't own a car, doofus. I don't need one where I am. And I'm not in Venezuela, like my ip address says, thank God. I am in a Hispanic country, though. Good luck.

u guys hav got the worst call signs eva
Ha ha, i am using my HAM radio call sign as it makes life easier for me. Most breakers use a CB call sign which is not as bad as the Ham radio regulator issued call signs. All the best and thanks for watching and commenting. MJ7NLK

Wish the anytone made the fan mod available also. It gets hot fast. Great radio. I need to flash the new firmware. ✌️
It would be great if all radios had an external fan jack and mounting screw holes on the heat sink. That would make it a lot easier to add custom cooling.
