After having been away from CB for nearly 30 years I wanted to get back into the hobby. I wanted a radio that did the usual FM but also AM and SSB so chose the President McKinley EU and I'm not disappointed,.
I tuned my antenna using an MFJ Antenna Analyzer then on connecting the McKinley and powering up I was greeted to an EU band fully open to the continent!
I love the simplicity yet great functionality of the McKinley, after a few minutes and occasional reading of the very good instruction manual everything seems logical to me.
The radio has so many functions compared to the older sets I used all those years ago and I love it so am looking forward to many local and DX contacts in the upcoming days, months and years.
Thank you to everyone at Thunderpole for a very prompt dispatch and delivery of this item after I placed the order.

The McKinley is without doubt expensive but very much well worth the expense with having AM/FM/ USB/LSB plus all the usual President extras such as their excellent Auto Squelch.
Simply one of the best of the best
