    • Good performance in a small package.
Nice radio, receive is very good. Reason I'm reviewing is I had a problem one day after delivery. I immediately tested the cb when it arrived with a cb in my other car - transmit and receive were great. Next day when pushing the ptt switch I'd get full power swing but no audio. Changed mics and no change. Out of curiosity I removed the cover and unplugged and replugged the interface cable to see if there was a bad connection. Sure enough it solved the audio problem. Aside from what I consider a fluke scenario, this is a nice performing radio. It is small in size but very solid construction. The stock mic sounds good. The mic is light weight but that is because it has eletrek technology which requires less bulky materials. ... show more

    • Good CB with all the features you need
What can I say. This radio works & has all the features you need except upper & lower side band. I got into CB back in n the 1970's during the gas shortages & helped in starting a CB Radio Club & then a Ham radio club. I purchased this radio for a SHTF situation to talk locally to my family if the cell phones went down. I was disappointed to hear only the idiots on ch 19 and no local communications or nets in operation. Seems to work good in my car and might be OK as a base station with a decent antenna & power supply. Will probably take it out of my car & place it in a faraday cage or an unused microwave oven to protect it from an EMP attack. Hopefully that will never happen, but if it does the radio should work fine if others did the same thing. No problems with this rig but I don't think it can campare with the Cobra & Browning LTD radios from the 1970's ... show more

    • Needs A Scan Lockout
This is one of the best CB radios on the market today, and I love that it comes with a channel scan. However, I wish it had a scan channel lockout feature. For example, when the "Superbowl channel " (aka: Channel 6) gets blazing, it would be great to do an isolated lockout of just 6 instead of cranking the squelch and blocking them all. Other President radios offer this, even some of their less expensive ones. It almost seems like an oversight. Aside from that, it's a great "set of ears." ... show more

    • Small CB packed with features
This is a good alternative if you don't have space for a regular single din sized CB such as a Uniden 980SSB. The reason I only give it four stars is that I think the buttons are kind of small. I compared the President Andy, President Bill, President Johnny III, and Uniden 980SSB (already owned the uniden as a base station). I didn't have room for the Uniden so I went with the President Andy. The tipping scale between all the president models was the speaker loudness. Means I don't have to have an external speaker. With the Bill model I definitely would have needed an external speaker and possibly for the Johnny model. The Uniden and the Pres Andy both had good speakers on par with each other. Pro's Smallish size, decent speaker, Best reception of pres units, channel change on mic, quick access to wx, 9/19 button, rf gain knob, channel buttons on mic Con's screen not as bright as pres andy, shows freq on screen making channel numbers smaller, picks up engine noise, buttons small, scanning kinda slow, only three screen colors, no talkback ... show more

    • Great sound quality
I was quite unhappy with my Cobra 75WX ST CB radio: the reception quality was very bad no matter what antenna I had (5', 4', 3'), plus I really, really hated that it kept returning to channel 9 whenever I stoped the engine. Oh, and the LCD screen is so tinny that I needed my glasses to read it. So I've replaced it with a President Johnny III USA CB. The quality difference between the two is night and day. On the last jeeping trip I had both the HAM (an Yaesu FT400, also a great HAM radio) and the CB on, and I couldn't tell which one was which. I had to keep an eye on the HAM's VU-meter to figure out which was which. And this is with a 2' CB antenna. The thing I liked about the Cobra was its minimal size. But the President is not bad either: I have it sandwiched between the passenger's seat and the cup holder console. Perfect fit, close to see, and control. The auto-squelch works absolutely amazingly. As I said: HAM sound quality! - Weather Alert - can do background scans of NOAA channels. - Manual squelch and ASC - Large Multi-functions LCD display - S-meter - ANL filter and HI-CUT - RF Gain - Scan - Priority channel memory - Roger Beep - Front microphone plug - perfect for using it with a JeepUniq mic mount! Downsides: a bit more expensive than comparative size CBs, but that's not apple to apple comparison this is a fully featured CB (it only lacks sideband to be considered top-of-the-line). ... show more

    • Excellent Value
Works great paired with a k30 antenna. Great value and like the choice in backlight colors to match my factory green lit interior.

    • Disappointing: Not a full 4 watts
I bought this FCC compliant CB radio to travel the roads. I bought the President antenna to match the unit. I bought an SWR and power meter to test the unit. The results showed a very excellent SWR reading on channel 19 (1:1.1), however a measurement of power output only showed about 2.5-2.75 Watts. This is not the 4 Watts promised in the advertisement. I expected something closer to 4 watts. Disappointing. The feature set on this radio is good. The sound quality is ok, given the size of the internal speaker. ... show more
