There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As noted below, the first radio had some problems. I returned it, and ordered a replacement. The new radio works very well. Internal speaker sounds good and no spurious tone in audio. Power output and modulation are close to legal maximum, in both AM and SSB.
Have made several contacts, every contact remarks on good sound of this radio. Just finished a 13.5 mile mobile contact on SSB; the other operator has decades of experience on the radio and commented that this President McKinley was one of the best sounding "out of the box" radios he's heard. I'm very pleased with this purchase, and highly recommend this radio.
*** ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ***
Nice radio with lots of good features. Unfortunately the radio delivered to me came with no internal speaker output, and had a spurious tone when receiving in AM mode.
Very attractive, modern radio with a lot going for it. Installation was straightforward. The small size of this unit allows for many options for install. Unfortunately, upon power-up, no output from internal speaker. The external speaker output worked fine. Great reception, except a very low level tone, maybe around 1KHz or so, was present in AM receive. No problems noted during SSB reception. Power output and modulation was right up where it should be.
I like this radio, and believe the problems I experienced with this individual unit are simply a random manufacturing defect. I have returned the defective radio, and will be ordering a replacement.
Things I like:
Compact size
Ready to go out of the box. No need to peak and tune.
SWR calibration process
Channel changing mic
Ability to adjust power out of the box
Scan feature
Weather
Things I dislike:
Having to key the mic to make some adjustments
The lack of a rf gain knob.
6 pin mic connector
Somewhat noisy
Overall I like the radio a lot. I found that you need to run the mic gain at about 80% or it distorts transmissions. Set up is super easy with the swr tone calibration. Don’t expect a ton of power, but the radio plain works. I’ve talked dx barefoot but you won’t get much attention unless conditions are in your favor or you add power. The radio has great “ears” for a mobile transceiver. The one thing I miss about my 29 is the rf gain knob. Sometimes you want to have it open and sometimes you only want to hear the other side of the highway and squelch alone doesn’t work as well as gain and squelch combined and the ability to easily make adjustments.
One feature that I’m still on the fence about is the Automatic Squelch Control. It’s not quite perfect yet. There are times it works too good and other times it’s not good enough.
Overall I really like the radio and I’m happy with its performance. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars as it more indicative of my opinion. The negatives aren’t deal breakers, hopefully they can be corrected in future editions.
I had a lot of issues with what I believe is alternator or spark plug noise on the cheap Uniden, the ANL on it cut the noise but also cut a lot of the signal along with it. The noise reduction features on the President seem to be a lot better at cutting the noise while still retaining a clear signal.
Built in speaker is good quality. Gets loud enough without distorting. External probably would be better but I'll have this mounted close enough to me that I don't think I'll bother.
Built in SWR meter is nice. Matches my external meters close enough and is always nice to have as just a final sanity check in any installation, or to just double check SWR occasionally.
SSB also works well. I don't hear many people locally using it but was able to make a short contact from Texas to Georgia just running barefoot/stock power, center of the roof mounted ~50 inch antenna. Atmospheric conditions are obviously the main limitation but shows that this radio can get out there.

The built-in SWR help you with the antenna adjustment very nice feature.
In the adjustment mode, this radio emits beep sound as you tune (live) your antenna.
A continuous sound tells you when the swr is perfect (1) cannot be better it’s amazing.
The automatic Squelch unique with president radio set Squelch automatically , it's working so well that I will never use the regular Squelch again.
It's the only menu driven control radio that makes sense because it's very well done.
I also like the fact that the service manual (electronic Schematic) on the web.
I don't buy radio if I cannot service them in the future.
It's a 5 Stars product
The unit is robust and well built, and can be used in a mobile or base station situation. I particularly like the front mounted speaker (on the left), as the audio quality from that speaker is good enough to obviate the need to plug in an extension speaker.
Other features of this radio include a built-in VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) meter, eliminating the need to check the VSWR with an external meter! The SWR reading I obtained from the built-in meter coincided with the result I obtained using an external SWR meter, so the built-in device is reasonably accurate.
The McKinley also features a ''President'' invention, namely the Automatic Squelch Control, which first appeared in President CB radios back in 1996. This radio also has a scanning control, so you can easily scan the 40 channels in about 5 seconds. You can scan in AM mode or Upper and Lower Sideband modes, but note that when scanning, the Automatic Squelch Control will only work in the AM mode.
I've given this radio 5 stars overall for quality, reliability, and ease of operation.
