President Richard 10 Meter Radio

Radio is awesome. Conversion was extremely simple. All I can say as is don't trust the internal swr meter. Works to get in the ballpark but my external is claiming way different results. Overall sweet!

This is my second President Richard. It Is a learning curve over a Connex or Galaxy. This is not an out of the box 11 meter radio. To talk to other trucks using CBs you will have to have it converted or convert it yoursel. I did mine myself as CB shops are not as common as they used to be. A big plus for me is being able to turn up the power from a menu without having to open up the radio. You will have to open it for the conversion.The side bands are a bit complicated but I don't use them. It has a good clear sound and my first one always got complimented on it's sound and power. I like how being small it takes people by surprise.Has all the bells and whistles I wanted without having to add more or spend a bunch of money at a Cb Shop paying to mod a new radio.

The "President Richard" is a great rig with all the bells and gimmicks found on high $ "Export" jobs at a better $ The Dick is capable of 85 watts pep with only a menu touch this is a 3 final rig and has many features Roger beep, Echo, Talk back and a useful scanning mode that scans all 40 channels simultaneously. I CANNOT SAY HOW GOOD this radio is mine is set at 53/55 watts all day long love it!channel up and down buttons on the mic Vox and a lot more Ive owned a few radios in this hobby and this is one of the best rigs for the $ I've ever had the receive is on par with the best radios in the game I just cannot say enough about the Dick it can be turned down to run an amplifier I 100% recommend this radio. I purchased this radio twice Amazon took care of my problem and made it right.

Great CB Radio

Was hoping for something better. The radio I received had a defect in the white lettering for the front panel controls, clearly a problem with the silk screen process when the lettering was applied, that should've never made it passed quality control. After seeing that obvious flaw, I wondered what other flaws may be lurking inside. So I decided to return it. I wish I had opened the box sooner to inspect the radio but I was too busy with some family issues, so there was no time left to ask for an exchange radio, so it was returned instead. My advice is, inspect your radio as soon as you receive it, even if you don't have time to hook it up and use it right away. And also be aware, the President Richard has no ability to operate 10 meter repeaters. At least there was nothing in the instruction manual about using repeaters, repeater offsets or ctcss tones. This may not be important to everyone thinking about buying this radio, but it might be important to some folks.

The President Richard is the best bang for the buck. Mod to 11 meters, simple. Don't care for the 6 pin mic but you can get a adapter ( 6 to 4 pin). MAKE SURE you get the RIGHT ONE! You can program just about everything with this radio & even go to advance mode & adjust power up to 80W & modulation past 100%.But do this at your own risk as you can damage the radio. As for - 1 star. These radios are said to be made in Minsk, Belarus or Naples Florida....... WRONG........Bought mine on 9/16/22 and the label on the back says ( Made in PRC-----Peoples Republic of CHINA). I checked it for Covid 19 & the fortune cookie that was in the box says "USA Dummy-Thanks for the $$$"

I’ve been using President radios for a long time since the late 80’s and have been pleased with the performance of all President radios I have from the 1st generation Lincoln and George up to this Richard, the Richard performs very well and, I’m impressed with the technology and features it has, the output wattage on AM and FM are spot on, good on the PEP as well.

This lil thing is awesome!!! Smaller than a cobra 29 lx so it will fit in the newer trucks , and only about 20-25 bucks more than the 29 lx . Tons of features, and straight out of the box I was getting 55 watts, only downside is u do have to have it converted for the Cb channels but when u do, u definitely will not regret it. Another drawback is if u have a favorite mic, u will probably want to have it wired for 6 pin if u don’t wanna use the stock microphone. I can’t really put into words how great this radio really is. And u will love the auto squelch control
