FIRST LOOK: President Washington Amateur Radio Review Part 1 

It's a George II on steroids... Looking good Dave.

The power is a vast improvement and although i do love a bit of old school chrome the gunmetal brush looks superb. Thanks Dave.

Great review, i agree it would make sense to have cooling fans pre instaled.....

Damn I bought a President Washington and had to do the Mod myself. I never knew the Washington had something to do like the mod on the Lincoln2+. And i am NOT talking about soldering in a resistor but putting in a passcode. I received my EU President Washington but it is NOT like the GEORGE II where you get the FM UK bands under mode. NO Sirree it just has FM AM USB and LSB. Or there is something i hsve not seen yet! If there are people here that want to buy a WASHINGTON let the dealer do your mod. The dealer is obliged to do the 11 meter CB band mod for you before you get one, otherwise you just get a 10 and 12 meter transceiver and would not be handy if you are not someone with a HAM licence! Pay the extra 10 dollars euro or pounds and let the dealer of your radio do the mod! I highly recommend the WASHINGTON. Thank DAVE M0OGY for the reviiew. Best 73's.

Great vid buddy. Very interesting radio. No doubt it will be a premium price like most Presidents seem to be.

Nice little review.....still reminds me of the Grant 2 though.....just my thought....thanks for taking the time to show us ....cheers 👍

looks like a fantastic radio Dave - nice video and what we have come to expect from GPE. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts re FM mod v the G2. I agree with your thought re the fans. looking forward to the next video.73 Rob

Certainly bagged your self a exclusive radio there Dave with it's very low serial number. You must have been very excited to see mr postie bringing you this. Thanks for showing and I look forward to seeing more of it.

Nice informative video, Thank you

Omg I loved my Lincoln I need this

Very nice, I'd be honored to own one. Hope it goes for sale in the states soon.

Yeah just figured that out...thanks

Can’t wait to see the US version. Thanks for sharing.

If the fans plug inside , surely fitting fans will void the warranty because I’d have thought you’ll need to break the seal to plug them in?

As ever great video Dave. I’d be abit peed if I’d shelled out on a new George ll and this comes out..

Hope it does make it state side, would love one of these 😊

Is this the same George II but with more power? Or it's something more on top? Thanks

The old President Washington was a base radio. This is a missed opportunity, a George copy. Just my thoughts.

Nice looking radio Dave, I always thought the George 2 was one of the nicest looking modern radios so this is a plus. Would I buy one well I've never been tempted upto now however I have lots of old school radios here already so they would just gather dust like the rest of them.

Nice Presentation.... Do you know when it will be released ? Thank You

Ist the modulation better(louder) on fm VS de george 2?

Hi what psu is recommended? I can't fund any info on that

I have the George 2 never been fussed about high output radios thats what linears are for.

Nice

I think its great that it looks like the G2 as her in doors would never notice a new radio if i hide the G2 .The washighton time will time

Can you show the power without fans ? Thanks.

Looks like a quality radio Dave, I hope they don't try to charge silly money for it though, as a mint used real ham radio can be had for £400-£500.

Crickey you got a armed guard at ya door the east European mafia will be at the door for a long video and bloody good quality 😂

Looks nice. Will listen out for you over the weekend. I've been about. 73s mate

Seria sucesso no Brasil 🇧🇷

Wouldn't it be cheaper and more effective to buy a normal "export radio" and use a 100W amp?

It’s 10,11&12 meter radio. & EMG is emergency button frequency button.

it's another Grant II..it's not even a homebase.. is it another Anytone ??

How much

It's disappointing it's not a base station as all the originals ones was.

All those bands but the hams like staying locked like an AM radio selldom more than 5 kc either way a real ham radio doesnt use Detents ! Just a smooth vfo and a toggle as the band runs out

Should B a base. Why are they obsessed with channel readout the radio should have freq readout across the display channel number real small in honor . I hope they don't make a junk FCC Version .

When is the President Trump coming out?

A 10 and 12 metre rig with no cw ? Sad .

no bands no fun

It's basically a CB radio that they've modified for amateur radio. Not really any good for hams. Just an overpriced CRT.

Yet another glorified CB radio , It's definitely not an Amateur radio , It's a CB that covers the 10/12 MTR Amatuer radio bands .
