To much stacked cant really hear people

Works well as intended

This is an amazing radio, all the features I wanted, in a modern design. My only minor ding was it takes a 6 pin mic, but I found an adapter so its all good.

Cheap

Unit follows the bells and whistles theory of marketing, most of which are generally cosmetic and really useless. This unit will actually measure SWR, a feature I was more than a bit skeptical about..surprise! It worked and agreed with a good SWR meter.

Great radio. Shipping time was to be expected. Showed up on front porch in factory box clearly advertising what it was. Not a problem unless you have package thieves. Paired it with a 3’ fire stick antenna mounted in left front stakehole on pick up bed with 1.6 - 1.8 SWR on channel 1 and 40. Alternately, I paired it with a 5’ Wilson 1000 magnet mount, SWR 1.3 to 1.4 . Both done with external SWR meter. Checked with 2 different meters. Same numbers. The internal SWR in radio shows a bit higher than external one, So I went with external meters for final tune. As to be expected, Radio really gets out with the 5’ Wilson on top of cab. Does ok with the 3’ one. Clearance being the issue with 5’ one.

When i open the mic rattled and did not work,cheap mic

$30 radio bad made

The radio has some good features. Transmit is so so. Wasnt expecting much on the wattmeter, but thats ok. The receive is crappy. A Bearcat 980 will beat the brakes off of it on the quality of the receive. ( Just cant see the display). All these CB designers need to hire someone to help design the darn things. They get nearly there and stop short of a quality transmitter, receiver and display. You come close Uniden with the 980. President not so on the Walker. IMHO.

President Walker II is a great CB radio. It has a SWR Meter built in for tuning your antenna, 7 different lighted background colors for channel numbers and a scan feature to scan all 40 channels. Unit is easy to use and instructions are easy to understand.
