Great Radio

I like how the controls are classic and standard, allowing simple operation, while advanced features and parameters are a click away with the channel knob. I am a weather radio person, and could not resist this old school/new school hybrid from President. Like all President WX radios, weather is clear and intelligible. The large-for-radio-size speaker provides unusually good audio for a CB radio. Scan feature is uncommon at this price point, as is the ability to change channels with the mic. President is known for sensitive receive, and lucky, their industry-leading Automatic Squelch Control cleans out a lot of static and skip, during noisy times. I still marvel at that advance no other maker has approached. Some people criticize the mini microphone, but I get good reports with it. The radio is semi-compact, and the mic looks right with it. Mic elements are about the size of a kidney bean, so it makes sense to remove bulk. I am excited to try Presidents new Digimic, with digital noise reduction, another breakthrough the companies living off their names will never match. Despite being slimmer and sleeker than a traditional CB radio, the controls are not crowded. Transmit range is typical for a 4 watt radio, although it has unusually good ears. The tallest antenna you can manage, along with low SWR, is what will get you out. Speaking of SWR, this radio features the handiest and most innovative SWR reading available. Unlike some companies, President actually employs engineers to design circuits and radios. Other companies release contracts to the lowest bidder. You can be certain big radio brands are having their contractors copy this design, as we speak. The analog S/RF meter is beautiful, and among the easiest ever, to read. If this radio has a shortcoming, it is the inability to dim the meter for night driving. My dash lights dont get very dim, anyway, so that is not a big issue. For such a white light, it is not harsh, at all. Kudos to Presidents engineers.

I’ve had 9 CB’s since 1976… as much as I treasured most of those, the Walker III is absolutely the best I’ve ever owned. Professional build quality, similar to HAM 2-meter in quality. And… CB FM is truly a game changer for sound quality and distance!

I really wanted this cb for my truck . The cb had all the features i wanted. But after installing i didnt get out at all. I went to cb shop and was told that i would have to get a 102 whip to get a decent signal . The shop i went to tried to tune it but to no avail. This was a very trusted cb shop. I returned it because it did not work as it was supposed to . I bought a president thomas for a replacement but it also has some problems it does work and i can get about a half to 1 mile range. I going to put this radio in our second vehicle and im going to buy a stryker 447 and have it profesionally installed. President radios are great but for my application they could be improved.

It is a CB radio with FM
