President

In 2021 the FCC changed the Part 95 rules to allow Frequency Modulation (FM) on the CB radio service. The President Group immediately took advantage of it. President has spent the last couple of years updating its line of CB radios to add FM functionality to a select assortment of models. Now there is one more in that lineup, but this is a brand new model, and it has one more feature that some of the others don't have.

This is the President George FCC. It has AM, FM, and - wait for it - Single Side Band functionality. Yes, that's right, SSB. This radio delivers the maximum 4 watts of power that's allowed on CB, and combines the latest technology and high sensitivity with FM and SSB to deliver the best experience possible on the CB.

This is a full featured CB radio that is engineered to be top of the line. It operates on 40 CB radio channels in AM, FM, upper side band and lower Side Band modes. It transmits up to 4 watts and AM and up to 12 watts PEP on the upper side band and lower side band.

The GEORGE FCC has most of the standard features included in many other President models. It has 7 weather channels, a weather alert, public address capability, and of course the 7 color multi-function LCD display that is common on many of their other models. This is a popular feature, as it allows you to color co-ordinate your display for the inside of your cab or your vehicle.

Of course, the GEORGE also has channel scan, tone, channel rotary switch, manual squelch and ASC. It has all the usual filters that are included with most of the other President models. it also has a power reading and an SWR meter, and a VU meter. Other features include talkback, a hands-free VOX function, beep function, roger beep, and F function key.
There is also a mode switch so you can just instantly switch it back and forth between AM, FM, upper side band and lower side band, and a preset emergency EMG1 and EMG2.

Now, at 7.28 inches x 6.77 inches x 2.20 inches, this is not exactly the smallest CB radio on the market, but it's not overly large, either. This puts it at a pretty decent size for fitting into most vehicles and cabs.

The package includes the radio, ultra light electret microphone with support, a power cord, fuse, mounting bracket and the screws to go with it. Price: $279.00.
