The President Richard is an excellent AM rig. This radio's transmit audio has 90%+ modulation from the factory, therefore it does not require any sort of aftermarket modification. The transmit audio is loud, clear, crisp and clean. Like an expensive HF rig, the President Richard comes from the factory with a powered electret microphone, therefore there is no need to install an aftermarket power microphone. The factory powered electret microphone and cable is surprisingly good quality. This microphone can be replaced for less than $35, which is less expensive than most power microphones. Overall the transmit audio of this rig is very ICOM AM mode like smooth, yet loud enough to cut through the noise. The transmit audio of this rig is for those that appreciate fidelity, rather than blaring loudness. President Richard's receiver is modern Uniden like quality. The ANL / NB circuit is very good. The receive audio is very smooth and clean. The universal Uniden power cable that comes with this radio is very good quality, as it is thicker than a standard Uniden / Cobra power cable. The overall construction of this radio is Uniden like quality. The case is metal and the knobs and switches have a refined, modern feel. The bells and whistles are self explanatory. In conclusion, this radio is a solid performer on AM. It's output is very smooth like a ham radio, yet robust enough to appease a CB operator. LivecbradioRead full review

Very good radio,has automatic squelch that actually works.has a setting to switch from electret mic to dynamic mic I'm using roadking wired with 6 pin plug but you can buy 4 pin to six pin adapters.the recieve is very good.swr meter works without keying mic and uses sound and digital meter,can set swr using the sound while your outside the truck.has rogerbeep ,echo and a tone setting for recieve.power turns down to2.5 watts if you want to run linear for more power.if you buy a president antenna when you buy radio warranty goes from 3 to 5 years.very small size will fit anywhere and though I wired mine to battery it doesnt need much power so you can use truck wiring.noise blocker with high cut takes out lots of white noise from the truck electronics.a modern high quality radio.
