President is well established as a reputable manufacture of quality mobile CB radios. A few years ago, they made waves on the CB band with the introduction of a handheld model, the President RANDY FCC, and we covered it in episode 155 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast. The RANDY proved to be popular, so when the FCC approved FM on CB, President wasted no time in adding it to their lineup by creating the RANDY II.

This upgraded version of the original is very popular, with one caveat. It's the price. Some CBers complain that it is a bit too pricey for an ht CB. They aren't wrong. When compared with Cobra, Midland and Wouxun handheld CBs, the RANDY II is the most expensive model on the market.

It seems that President was listening, because they just launched a brand new model, and at a lower price point. Introducing the President Jerry FCC AM/FM Handheld CB Radio!

The JERRY FCC is a lighter version the RANDY II. Think of it as the RANDY II Lite. It works in AM and FM modes and has many of the standard features of its higher end cousin. Although it does not include some of the advanced functionality like the companding, noise gate, scan skip and VOX, it does have the weather channels and alert, which many users consider is more important anyway.

The display is also not quite as customizable. The RANDY II featured a 7 Color multifunction LCD display, and although the the JERRY retains the same crisp, easy to read screen, it is limited to one color only. President chose orange, which makes sense, as it is probably easiest on the eyes.

There are also a couple of very notable differences with the included accessories. Of course, both come with the same 1800mAh lithium-ion battery pack and removable antenna. The rest of the kit is quite a bit different. While the RANDY II comes with a drop-in charger, external mobile antenna adapter, microphone/radio hanger, belt clip and even a wrist strap, the JERRY has none of those. Instead, it has a combo vehicle charging/antenna adapter and fuse. This combo cable performs a dual function, to power and charge the JERRY and provide an adapter for connecting an external antenna to it, so you can turn your handheld into a mobile radio.

The RANDY II currently sells for $164.00. By eliminating the extra features and the drop-in charger, President was able to get the price of the JERRY down to only $129.00.

The following chart is a comparison between the new President JERRY FCC and the RANDY II CB radios.

It's CB season with two great specials on President radios! One is a cash rebate, the other a free bonus add-on. Both are offered directly from the manufacturer, and both are not to be missed.

The TYT TH-UV88 is a reliable, solid handheld amateur radio at a budget friendly price. It's a great alternative to the original Baofeng UV-5R, mostly for its durability. Like it's lower end counterpart, the TH-UV88 can also be programmed with CHIRP. Now there is one more reason to choose the UV88 over a UV-5R. The TYT TH-UV88 now supports USB-C charging!

Not long ago, TYT introduced a new 2200mAh lithium-ion battery pack with a built-in USB-C charging port for the TH-UV88. We are excited to announce that the TH-UV88 we sell now includes this upgraded battery in the standard package!

The TH-UV88 originally included a standard, 1400mAh battery pack by default. But we changed all that. Now, when you buy a new TH-UV88 from Buy Two Way Radios, you get the 2200mAh TYT-BATT-UV88-USB-C battery upgrade as part of the deal, and at no extra cost!

A bigger battery, USB-C charging option, and a budget-friendly price to boot. In a TYT-Baofeng matchup, the TH-UV88 wins this one hands down.

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.
